@ninamohanty @SarahKocianski @AlexH_Johnson @PayZilch I sometimes wish there was a tool to aggregate and track all your Barnes & Noble and Borders book purchases in one place. But I prefer Amazon😉

@SarahKocianski @ninamohanty @AlexH_Johnson @PayZilch There is no reason to use multiple BNPL providers if you can use Zilch at all of Mastercard's 30m+ merchants worldwide

@ofnumbers I can say w/ high confidence that most of that volume in '17 was related to bitcoin wallets converting BTC to USD through Bitpay in order to load funds to prepaid cards - up until Visa killed that product in early Jan 2018. So not really representative of "BTC payment activity"

@cullenroche Except they typically don't hold lots of stock. They hold lots of options which don't receive dividend payouts but definitely increase in value as a result of buybacks. Oh, and buybacks also conveniently disguise the dilution to non-exec shareholders caused by option grants.

@real_vijay @VinnyLingham BTC only succeeds as a global medium of exchange if it is orders of magnitude better than its alternatives (USD). The only attribute where this is true is its pre-programmed scarcity which establishes it as a store of value first. Why else would it be adopted as a global MoE?

@jonmatonis @RyanRadloff if hard fork occurs while you're lending BTC, you do not receive any BTU. given that, what rate would you lend at?

@pmarca & not just the unknown positives. Tech companies also more susceptible to mkt disruption and those neg events never captured in DCF
