Crypto since ‘14. Biophysics/BME @Columbia. Learn. Grow. 🌱

Well-said, @NickSzabo4. This is such a fundamental idea that #crypto world needs to start embracing asap. Would say every1 should apply this 2 their ICO due dil since many propose new governance models (though unfortunately doesn't really matter as +99% ICOs are shams anyway).

[Nick Szabo @NickSzabo4]

Security has a concept called attack surface: the more kinds of exposures, the greater the attack surface. Similarly we can think of governance as having an argument surface: the more kinds of decisions there are to argue over, the less functional the institution will be.

@semil Def @hotelfigueroa DTLA. Great history as a women-centric salon for artists and intellectuals in the 20s/30s. Beautiful rooms and great bar/restaurant. Recently stayed there for @cryptoinvestsmt. And the @thepantrycafe 24/7 diner opened in 1924 is only a block away!

@btcread @BitcoinBirch @CryptoShillNye @DigitalLawrence Just landed in LA. Come to this monero/crypto thing tonight 8-10PM hosted by @pwrcycle at @crashspaceLA. @morphtoken (me) and @cakewalletxmr talking for a bit. Drinks/craziness to follow because why not. https://t.co/449OOPswDL

I became NPR's reporter in El Salvador the year after the assassination. I'm here in LA today w/ my colleague Leo del Aguila, who was with me. We don't get to vote, but it's hard to imagine a figure who merits canonization more than Oscar Romero: https://t.co/ge5EVxeIV2

@tsimonite They forgot the word “selling” before ‘people’! #oops

@CryptoTutor Sure. Been thinking of this - an individual’s historical endorsements in crypto - a lot as of late as so many new people have entered the space over past 12 months. Voices shilling since 2015 but appearing credible today seem ubiquitous now.

[bitxnic @bitxnic]

@CryptoTutor Should people not be allowed to be wrong sometimes, @CryptoTutor, especially wrt new paradigms? And if providing evidence for their claims? Or should bold claims not be put forth?

@fdevillamil @alfredapp Oh no! Yes @alfredapp was and still is a game-changer! So your trust level with Alfred > Apple?

[bitxnic @bitxnic]

@fdevillamil @alfredapp Hm, good to know thx for posting @fdevillamil. Gives insight into their indexing method.

@girlsreallyrule Indeed, @girlsreallyrule. We've now entered a world so topsy-turvy that one side chose to accept *decades* of more lies and patriarchal decision-making instead of taking a bit of extra time to appoint a *competent* candidate to our nation's *highest* court. #TwilightZone

[bitxnic @bitxnic]

@AriannaSimpson How can we guide teams to create more realistic project objectives and timelines - that is, roadmaps that actually give the token a chance for longevity and producing meaningful network value?

[bitxnic @bitxnic]

@AriannaSimpson So true, @ariannasimpson. In ICOland, roadmap is king, and team is queen. Quality of tech cannot possibly serve as a variable in the evaluation process since, in 98% of cases, the tech does not exist (and never will for most... not even POC/MVP!).

@magicalcrypto Yes @magicalcrypto! More magic!! What are the economic and social effects of ICOs on the crypto ecosystem? Net positive or net negative? (See recent @BitMEXResearch @thetokenanalyst report.)

[bitxnic @bitxnic]

Right! How is the Hill able to reasonably intake all this information on so many crucial matters at one time, process, and make logical decisions that will impact history for decades to come? The timing of the intersection of these issues is curious. https://t.co/WpAu1pRQoi
