No Official Proof of Iran Accepting Specific Cryptocurrencies

Circle Must Act Fast to Prevent Massive Hack Losses

Agreed & hope Circle reconsiders their stance quickly since it's a big error that will lead to many millions more USD lost in hacks before they change their mind. Even as a "competitor" with $frxUSD, we have 24/7 comm channels...

Seeking openClaw Founder's Genuine Stance on Crypto Innovation

It would be great to formally hear the openClaw founder @steipete’s actual beliefs about crypto/stablecoins as a technology separate from the frustration he had to endure with crypto scam/spam abuse that he described on Lex (which I greatly sympathize with). Does...

Autonomous Ethereum Code Mirrors AI Risks, Threatens Humanity

I fail to see how @VitalikButerin’s critique of autonomous AI doesn’t exactly apply to autonomous code (aka smart contracts). Let me ctrl+F+replace “Conway/AI” for “Ethereum.” ——————- Bro, this is wrong. Lengthening the feedback distance between humans and financial code is not a good...

100% true & best advice I give others as well. Internally at Frax, we call this "cockroaching it." 🪳 It's even more true for stablecoins & DeFi as the longer you're around, the more lindy you get for having a...

True Moats Are Hard Coordination Challenges, Not Simple Edges

Everyone talks about "moats" in tech/crypto and whether this or that is a "moat." A moat, by definition, is something everyone wants to do but is very hard to coordinate+build. The harder something is, the more of a moat it...

L1 Tokens: City-State Equity, Not Just Tax Receipts

The central point in the @hosseeb & @santiagoroel debate: what do most L1 tokens actually represent? Is owning ETH like owning a piece of a great city-state like Singapore or does it only represent a shitty tax receipt/municipal bond...

Monetary Premium Is the Sole Crypto Moat

The only crypto moat is monetary premium. Not IO, not orderbook depth, not UIs, not licenses, not low fees etc. Just monetary premium like real stablecoins & SoV tokens. No exceptions.
