Hey @elonmusk , hit a snag with my #Cybertruck —the 2nd delivered in NYC! Love the car. Just months after getting it, @GEICO dropped my coverage, saying they won't insure CTs anymore. Struggling to find an insurer after 5+ brokers turned me down. Can't drive it and also can't sell

Exciting times ahead if you can stomach all the near term volatility. Over a 12-24 month time horizon, the setup for liquid tokens hasn’t looked this good.Just need to be able to stomach the short-term volatility and not get shaken out: 1. Central banks are shifting from

Sentiment reset & leverage flush while most quality cryptoassets put in significantly higher lows than we saw in 2023. Meanwhile, central banks globally about to get forced into easing — a bit more turbulence possible in Q3, but regardless a beautiful early bull setup.

I believe attributing Solana's success solely to "crushing UX for retail casino" overlooks the bigger picture. If we assume that killer apps are yet to come, and that tokenized equities (if regulators permit) could be one of them, then we (as tradfi) have two potential key

Some good replies. For me it's less that ETH has been weak - it's more that BTC and SOL have been so damn strong. Bitcoin crushing narrative. Solana crushing UX for retail casino. Ethereum's strengths aren't as obvious this cycle - a slower build. But ETH's time will come.

Liquid crypto is probably the single biggest untapped investable segment for crypto funds and represents a huge opportunity that will almost certainly get no inflows couple thoughts why and how it feeds into VC outsizing and general animosity from wider market

@NateGeraci @vaneck_us @HeleneBraunn Users pay gas fees when they transact on Ethereum, and a portion of those fees, known as the base fee, is burned, reducing the supply of ETH. The priority fee, or tip, is paid to validators for transaction processing. While stakers earn rewards for securing the network, burning

Banks face a classic Clayton Christensen innovator's dilemma. Even if they become the ultimate issuers of stablecoins, it's likely to be margin dilutive compared to the current system. Currently, between the acquiring bank and issuing bank, the banking rails take approximately

Crypto founders: b/d ≠ shilling tokens. Grow real demand for great products. If it's truly wanted, interest in the token will follow. Focus on quality discovery, not hype.

@kieranwgoodwin @boazweinstein great thread. If this is systemic risk to the private credit markets, why would the street not just amend covenants for some incremental yield? The street doesn't want this market to implode and have a cascading liquidation?
