"I still can't believe that this is the protest that would prove every Bitcoin crank a prophet. And for me to have to slice a piece of humble pie, and admit that I was wrong on crypto's fundamental necessity in Western democracies." world.hey.com/dhh/i-was-wron…

The metaverse platform that mainstreams play to earn by removing crypto friction & tying it into ENGAGING gameplay that keeps players playing even if there wasn't P2E. That platform is going to win. I think projects slapping P2E onto mediocre game experiences won't survive. 🤔

I tried writing hot takes in response to @jack ‘s web3 and VC criticisms, but twice gave up after the drafts turned into rambling incoherent essays. Spent some more time to be able to write less. Here are my thoughts: /1

I admire the audacity of these bureaucrats spending wildly in ways that can’t possibly have an outcome other than rampant inflation, and then when inflation happens, calling it price gouging and threatening the companies with the DOJ. God mode gaslighting.
Americans are paying record high prices for their Thanksgiving turkey while big poultry companies are paying billions in dividends, giving CEOs raises & earning huge profits. These companies are abusing their market power. I’m asking DOJ to investigate. reuters.com/markets/commodit…

The more legitimate you become, the more you’ll be trusted with the simplest, but most pervasive, things. Applies heavily to the #Bitcoin situation in El Salvador.

What this chart shows has not happened since at least 1974. It actually IS "different this time", if you're assuming "this time" is like the past 50 yrs in the US. It is NOT different this time if you expand your horizons a bit, both geographically & historically. Let's watch.

"…useless complicated math problems…" @SenWarren if you believe #bitcoin doesn't ultimately shift power from banks & corporations (the ones you fight!) back to the people globally…you're right…useless. If instead you want to help us decentralize that power…math is critical.
Bitcoin requires so much computing activity that it eats up more energy than entire countries. One of the easiest and least disruptive things we can do to fight the #ClimateCrisis is to crack down on environmentally wasteful cryptocurrencies.

#bitcoin incentivizes renewable energy
If bitcoin needs anything, it’s more white papers. In this one, @Square and @ARKInvest team up to argue for bitcoin as a key driver of renewable energy’s future: squ.re/BCEI-whitepaper Hate reading? Here’s the nutshell version:

10 months ago we shut down Atrium after raising $75m in venture capital. Anyone hearing that knows I made tons of mistakes along the way. Someone asked me today what my biggest lessons learned were. Here they are:

That’s about right
He promised to run the country like he ran his business. It ended with Rudy Giuliani outside Four Season Total Landscaping next to a dildo shop, after a staffer mistakenly thought the empty parking lot was a Four Seasons hotel.

Investing 101: Don’t confuse slugging percentage with batting average. The former is being the cool kid in high school - you’re a rare thing and everyone wants to know the secret. The latter is like going to the prom with your mom. Everyone talks about it, but not kindly.

The @michael_saylor interview with @APompliano about MicroStrategy buying $425M worth of #Bitcoin was truly remarkable. I've compiled a list of all my favourite quotes and remarks in the thread below 👇

Not sure I have the words to describe how screwed up our PPE distribution is in this country, or what a betrayal it is for our gov't to support this system of personal greed and corporate ambivalence in trade for campaign photo ops. But I’m gonna try. epsilontheory.com/the-grifte…
