@knifefight any thoughts on Lido? The site says, "Stake your ETH with Lido and receive liquid stETH with daily rewards". Lido will invalidate your premise that ETH staking makes capital more expensive for others.
Chess board of how to invest was flipped over in Sep 2008. The pieces scattered to the floor.
Was next flipped over in March 2020.
Was flipped over again today.
And will be flipped over again sooner rather than later. Acceleration.
@mikemcg0 been thinking about this for a while and your essay was really informative. Thanks!
One thing: I was surprised that you didn't mention the Bitcoin smart contract platforms like RSK or Stacks. Do you think smart contracts on Bitcoin won't gain adoption?
1/ Bayesian reasoning applied to crypto - A Thread
There are various theories that have been devised to try and understand crypto's future. These include the halving cycle, the stock-to-flow model, and various wave theories among other things.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how some people in the bitcoin community have embraced labels like ‘toxic’, ‘maximalist’ and turned them into badges of honour celebrating meme culture and at times hostility as a community immune response to attacks.
#Bitcoin Mining serves as the foundation of the monetary network - critical to its growth, stability, longevity, vitality, & integrity. The Proof of Work architecture is a masterpiece of engineering that anchors the system to the real world, providing Seven Layers of Security.
@SDLerner @RSKsmart @Stacks@TO@JudeCNelson@PatrickWStanley any feedback on the arguments Sergio made? Like Ethereum had a google doc where anyone could post comments on Lyn Alen's criticism of Ethereum, Stacks needs a public place for discourse.

Finding it hard to square the fact that it only took 2 days to create the vaccine and costs <$90B to give it to everyone on the planet and yet here we are, losing thousands/day after spending trillions, hoping it won’t mutate further and evade antibodies and start all over again.
It is time to switch to Satoshis. Too many people telling me at $58,000 $BTC too expensive. Which exchange will be first to quote in SATS? @cz_binance@brian_armstrong@SBF_Alameda@tyler
@TO@muneeb Cathi Wood considers bond as a sov use case and thinks the TAM for sov is hundreds of trillions. Are you saying the TAM for smart contracts is thousands of trillions?
@Gina__Abrams@Stacks@muneeb 1. what trade-offs does the stack's design make?
2. how do the microblocks (stacks' scalability solution) work?
3. any thoughts on EIP-1559 and how it affects utility tokens? will other utility tokens such as stx follow suits
The Worry Filter
With any worry, ask yourself:

Can I do anything about it? No, then stop.
If “Yes” to all three, then DO something.
