A coal-fired power plant in China's Sichuan province.

China now emits more CO2 than the USA, Europe, Canada, Japan and South Korea combined.

Meanwhile, Europe is regulating their manufacturing out of business to "save the planet". It is all ridiculous. They close their factories in Europe, move to China, then pay for the ocean shipping to transport the finished products to Europe ... that is their solution? How does that make any sense?

All they are doing is transferring their wealth to China and making everyone in Europe and the USA poor. Bring back manufacturing to Europe and the USA. Stop this insanity.

Your Capitol renovation is costing California taxpayers $1.1 BILLION — 4x more than the privately funded White House ballroom, which costs taxpayers NOTHING.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

What is happening here?

The difference between non-farm payrolls and the household survey is now 3 MILLION jobs since Q4 2021.

The household survey is a widely followed datapoint as it only counts workers once, even if they have multiple jobs.

This data shows that net job additions over the last year were near ZERO.

At the same time, non-farm payrolls reported that ~2 million jobs have been created over the same time period.

There is a massive disconnect between data and reality.

The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

The other platforms accepted that deal.

𝕏 did not.

[Colin @colin_gladman]

This is what is complete bullshit.

When it’s other stocks making ridiculous moves, they aren’t even talked about. No one batted an eye when $NVDA ran 800% over last 18 months or $META 500% last year.

But when $GME makes a huge run now all the sudden we are “bothered”.

Clowns.

[Hayden Adams 🦄 @haydenzadams]

Today @Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC.

I’m not surprised. Just annoyed, disappointed, and ready to fight.

I am confident that the products we offer are legal and that our work is on the right side of history. But it’s been clear for a while that rather than working to create clear, informed rules, the SEC has decided to focus on attacking long-time good actors like Uniswap and Coinbase. All while letting bad actors like FTX slip by.

When I first set out to build Uniswap, the goal wasn’t to reimagine finance.

It was an experiment in radically decentralized, fully automated onchain markets. I didn’t know if it would work or if anyone would use it.

Fast forward to today, the Uniswap Protocol has processed over $2 trillion in volume. Many thousands of teams and developers have forked our code or built on top of it. We built entirely new financial infrastructure that is transparent, fair, secure, and accessible powering an entire industry.

The team at @Uniswap did all of this in the US from our office in New York City.

People often ask me why we stay in the US and my answer is simple: I believe that blockchain is incredibly powerful technology. Like the Internet, it’s here to stay. So someone needs to figure it out, and it might as well be us.

And that when you build technology that improves people’s lives – you don’t need to hide.

The @SEC’s mission is “protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation.” This is a noble mission. I would argue @Uniswap does a far better job of this today than the SEC.

Yes, I'm frustrated that the SEC seems to be more concerned with protecting opaque systems than protecting consumers. And that we'll have to fight a US government agency to protect our company and our industry.

This fight will take years, may go all the way to the Supreme Court, and the future of financial technology and our industry hangs in the balance. If we stand together we can win.

I think freedom is worth fighting for. I think DeFi is worth fighting for.

And of course, we won’t stop shipping. Stay tuned

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

The Euro has lost 99.5% of its value vs. #Bitcoin in less than 10 years.

Meanwhile, 97% of all trading days are in profit for Bitcoin.

Meaning anyone who has euro-cost-averaged into Bitcoin instead of holding onto the ECBs flaming garbage is massively in profit right now.

People use Bitcoin as a way to escape from the systematic time theft that your organization enacts on an entire continent.

When you debase currency, you are stealing the time and energy that people put into their work.

Your policies force people to work harder and longer just to keep up with inflation.

Your organization is responsible for much of the moral decay, exacerbation, and hopelessness that is widespread today.

You have zero moral high ground.

Haakon Jarl was a Viking warrior who ruled Norway from 975-995. He earned the title Hakon the Powerful.

So naturally, Netflix made him a black woman.

@Doctor_Degen So? You can get guns anywhere in the world.
But when was the last time somebody shot multiple people in NZ? Probably the mosque shooting ~4 years ago. When was the last time somebody shot multiple people in the US? Probably within a week.
