Helping foster a crypto-literate Louisiana

[Zach Rynes | CLG @ChainLinkGod]

It’s been a rough month for Ethereum rollups

- Optimism RPC couldn’t handle the load during token airdrop
- dYdX ditching StarkWare to launch a Cosmos chain due to throughput
- Arbitrum pausing the Odyssey program due to congestion

Not great validation for the rollup thesis

SCOOP: Google has asked federal election officials to green light a program that could keep campaign emails from ending up in spam folders, according to a filing obtained by Axios. https://t.co/kYITy4OjJ8

@gladstein @L0laL33tz @Harrythehorse8 Yeah a better way to phrase the text around the clip might be something like, "proof of work is a key part of bitcoin" or "part of bitcoin's key innovation is using proof of work".

I think people who watched the clip got the point of your tweet, though.

Sounds like USD devs are planning to save their failing altcoin by rugpulling bagholders and introducing a new premined token.

The fed starting QT will be the catalyst for institutions treating BTC as a store of value instead of a risk on asset. The decoupling of BTC and the stock market will be confirmed in a week or two

Throwing this out for s & gs. Will update when data confirms or disproves

What are vanity addresses?

How can haxxors use them to steal your coins?
How can dapps use them to protec you?
What can wallets do to protec you?
What can you do to protec yourself?

A thread on some obscure knowledge, on things you don’t know you don’t know.

Might save ur ass.

Officials in Weimar Germany ignored the exponentially increasing money supply when addressing the inflation crises, and instead used the media to push propaganda that the true cause of the rising prices was a war.

Sound familiar?

"Bitcoin is being inflated by Tether!"

Yes. It's also inflated by USDC, BUSD, GUSD, USD, EUR, and every other failing fiat currency. This trend is unlikely to end.

CityCoins reframes incentive structures to allow government and citizens to do things differently.

The trend of de-globalization and the sovereign individual thesis is starting to play out before our eyes.

This broader trend shift, paired with monetary supply expansion, and general digitization of everything, brews the perfect storm for #Bitcoin to thrive.

Wait, a $1.5 trillion bill that’s 2700 pages long was introduced in congress this week, and it’s not even expected to last through 2022?

The White House Executive Order is a landmark moment for the web3 ecosystem: formal recognition by the U.S. Govt that web3 is the next generation of the internet and one of the most important technological breakthroughs of the 21st century. https://t.co/VfFk3qGlyb

Left vs. Right is a false dichotomy. There is only the Real Individual vs. Fictionalized Collectives.

JUST IN: For the first time the number of US citizens holding #crypto (24%) has surpassed the number of citizens with a savings account (23%).
