@RobertKennedyJr I don't like that tweet because I agree on whatever Vivek said on Ukraine, I like that tweet because it should be normal for politicians to acknowledge when they agree with other politicians, even adversaries. This is how public discourse should work. This is compromises are.

Nobody wants to hear it, but I'll say it anyway: . As long as users have to pay a fee to onramp / offramp USD <-> USDC, the market won't take off. Period. From a user perspective:.* they're moving money from an account they own to another account they own. * there is no swap.
I broke down the best onramp + offramp solutions for USDC in the U.S, based on 3 factors:. a) Onramp fee.b) Offramp fee.c) Payment method. Check the end of the thread to see which solution is the best.

Random question: How do we get @VitalikButerin nominated for the Nobel Price in Economic Sciences next year?. This year @benbernanke won for showing why avoiding bank collapses was vital. Why not 🤷. I feel like a pioneer of the field of crypto-economics would be Nobel-worthy.

@coinbase Wall Street normies don't understand jack shit about crypto. This is your lifetime opportunity to benefit from their stupidity anon!. I've been slowly but surely DCA-ing since it started trading below $50, with no plan of stopping as long as the stock remains dirt cheap.

The craziness around WSB and @RobinhoodApp delisting $GME and $AMC is *insane* and one of the most bullish validation of @FairmintCO ultimate goal:. Enable companies to IPO on their own website 📈🚀🔥. (. and completely decentralize the stock markets in the process)

Brace yourselves, every day brings us closer to the next (big) financial crisis. It will be the 1st financial crisis in the crypto era and will likely be a tipping point for crypto.
Car dealers are exempt from @CFPB oversight – and auto loan defaults just hit a 15-year high. That's not a coincidence. It's what happens when shady lending practices go unchecked.

Lots of people have asked me to describe the pain points of USDC off-boarding, so I thought I'd share them publicly:. 1. Transfer != payments. It is expected in payments to pay a tiny % fee on payment. Not for transfers. Transfers should be free (today's standard in TradFi for.

10x this 👇 Even though I am happy with ETH2 slowly coming to life, I don't see how ETH2 could not be a fork of ETH1. Trying to make ETH2 a continuity of ETH1 is not only dillusional but it is also not a good idea. Here's why:.
People preach ETH2 as if its main competitors were all other smart contract platforms. In reality, the most likely ETH2 competitor will be the inevitable Ethereum fork that retains PoW, rejects its leadership, and optimizes layer 1 for solutions like Aztek, Zk Sync, StarkDEX. .

@VivekGRamaswamy Literally no one is asking for a bail out of SVB. SVB equity value should go to zero and investors should lose it all. But depositors should be able to recover their money, if you're against that, then. congratulations on torpedoing your campaign I guess? 🤷.

Let me introduce you to the Transfer Agent Protocol (TAP). TAP is an open-source software stack for transfer agents to record and track securities ownership in an open, standardized, and transparent way, #onchain. A cornerstone of the securities stack is Transfer Agents (TAs).

Feature request: Tools like @zapper_fi should factor gas costs into their investment dashboard. In most cases, unless you're investing a significant sum of money, performance is dwarfed by the gas cost required to approve/invest/divest or approve/stake/unstake.

@twobitidiot Earlier this year I learned that in France, you can buy/sell crypto all you want. As long as you don't convert back to fiat, there are no tax event 👀. The US are, by far, one of the most taxed country in the world when it comes to crypto 💸.

I am very aligned with this argument. I do believe the next financial crisis will be the point to which a massive influx of capital will flow into Bitcoin and cryptoassets in general.
Many claim that the BTC bubble has burst. BTC isn't a bubble --it's a response to the very real bubbles in our economy today. Govt control of money and the most important price in a capitalist economy--the interest rate--has caused distortions and true bubbles. Let's take a look.

We just passed the $100K invested on Fairmint's CSO 🚀 The bonding curve has officially kicked-in. Buy early, buy low. If you believe Fairmint is going to kill it the years to come, now is a good time to get a stake in Fairmint's future business! .
I just registered to participate in the first ever CSO (Continuous Securities Offering) by @FairmintCO. The future of financing is here: #RaiseDifferent.

My take: smart-contract auditing is simply way too expensive and it's a problem. As it's a reputation-based market, reputable firms in the space charge A LOT with no risk attached except "our reputation is on the line" 🙄. Less #DeFi exploits requires cheaper audits.
👹DeFi exploits: . June 2019: Synthetix 37m sETH.Feb. 2020: bZx $900k.Mar 2020: iEarn ~$280k.April 2020: LendfMe $25m. It's not just one project's problem. DeFi needs better security standards or we'll continue seeing the downside of that composability double-edged sword.

The low hanging fruit use case for $USDC is not ecommerce but financial services. The competition isn't @stripe (they forbid financial services) but "people having to login their bank account and manually wire funds". 2021 is the year $USDC fill this void.cc @jerallaire.

This is what the future of investing looks like. This is how fundraising looks like from 2020 onwards. This is how you turn your most faithful stakeholders into your most loyal long-term investors. See for yourself 👇.

The concept of flash-loans is fascinating! You can now borrow as much money as you want on DeFi (without collateral!). as long as you repay within the same block. This is sooo cool! Typically something that can only be done with #DeFi GG @StaniKulechov.
Interview with @AaveAave's @StaniKulechov in today's Defiant. He says. ⚡️Flash loans to lower entry barrier and expand DeFi products .💰Fixed rates to draw in more borrowers. 🌈The future of finance is a tokenized internet of smart contracts. More here :)

This is so cool!.I can totally see us switching to public key based email accounts (especially once they support ENS). Your ethereum address(es!) will become your digital identity. The experience is so fluid it hurts 🤯. Try it for yourself:
Who's furthest along in terms of turning crypto addresses into email account equivalents? One example is Rationale: .- emails via GSuite still depend on Google.- mobile numbers still depend on carriers.- crypto addresses depend on no one. Need to build.
