1/ The cognitive dissonance I have around watching the US slowly offshore crypto while desperately trying to bring back semiconductor manufacturing (SMFR) is WILD.
So I bring you Semiconductors: A Cautionary Tale 🧵
Here’s an example of useful philanthropy and oh look- it didn’t need all that AI money everyone is waiting for
There is enough money to do more things like this TODAY.
Sigh, do NOT make me have to come out of retirement and do a primer on floor time- y’all should know all about this by now

🗣️KBW2025 look back: Why Crypto Policy Around the World Is Rapidly Changing
Last year, @CarolineDPham, then Acting Chairman of the CFTC, joined @sheila_warren and Matthew Solomon to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets, from stablecoins and market structure to cross-border coordination between policymakers.
