I just submitted my paper to @Ledger's N3XT Collab: "Authorization and Trust in the Agentic Economy" - why AI agent authorization is a coordination problem and needs more than one anchor.

Just got back from #Consensus2025 — what a week 🙌
Grateful to @TheBAFNetwork & @CoinDesk for the invite and for spotlighting the work we’re doing at @oregonblock.

From Terra to FTX, crypto's biggest failures weren't just bad luck—they were design flaws.
My latest article breaks down how market manipulation + solvency risks threaten the future of blockchain—and what we can do to fix it.

If blockchain wants to fulfill its promise, it needs more than innovation.
It needs accountability, transparency, and risk modeling.

In my latest article, I break down:
• The 4 main types of market manipulation in crypto
• What solvency means—and how protocols fail
• What real transparency could look like
• How DAOs and regulation might rebuild trust

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

2022–23 exposed the cracks:
– $40B Terra collapse
– FTX’s fraud
– Curve’s solvency scare
These weren’t isolated incidents. They’re signals that Web3 is repeating TradFi’s worst habits.

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

Crypto was supposed to be different.
Decentralized. Transparent. Trustless.
So why do we keep seeing centralized collapses and insider scams?

I just posted a deep dive on how Crypto Mining is the new Gold Rush. Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚀https://t.co/e85RuurTk0

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

In the 1850s, people risked everything to head west & search for gold.

Today, the same thing is happening… but instead of pickaxes & shovels, it's GPUs & ASIC rigs.

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

I wrote an article diving deeper into this comparison, covering the tech, economics, & the future of crypto mining.

But this isn’t just speculation anymore.

Crypto adoption is accelerating:
-ETF approvals
-Growing political support
-Mainstream regulation

The next digital gold rush is already happening.

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

Crypto has seen multiple “gold rushes”:

🚀 2017 — ICO Boom
💸 2020–21 — DeFi & NFT explosion
🤖 2024 — AI + Crypto + ETF approval

Each wave brought new wealth, new players, and new risk.

The truth?

Just like the average prospector couldn’t compete with mining companies, today’s solo crypto miners are up against giant corporations with massive industrial farms.

5/ And the cost? Brutal.
💰 Expensive mining rigs
⚡ Sky-high energy bills
⛔ Government crackdowns

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

Early crypto mining was like panning for gold — you could do it from your laptop.

But as competition grew, the tools evolved:

GPUs (Graphics Processing Units)

FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays)

ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits)

[Diego Carpenter @Diego_Carp_]

The similarities between gold mining & crypto mining are wild:
⚒️ Both attracted a flood of people chasing fast wealth
🌎 Both reshaped economies & infrastructure
💸 Both carried huge risk vs reward
🔥 Both destroyed the environment
