Blockchain Sabbatical 🌊🏆

Wild that my public wallet will be more important than 7 years @Google or my degree from @harvard

(Rich) people used to flex by having big houses with libraries full of cool books, nice card and artwork hanging on the walls. Now people will flex with public wallets containing tons of money, artwork, NFTs of exclusive events they went to and top-tier airline status

The number of boards getting “NFT primer” and “100 day NFT roadmap” emergency presentations right now must be crazy

@tiagosada How much of the functionality could be captured via Progressive Web Apps?

There are going to be auctions for more things in the future. One example: seats on flights. Similar to concerts, there will be scalpers but you’ll be able to buy a seat on the flight if you’re really willing to pay for it. Last minute travel needs, rich wanting 1st class, etc

You don’t say!

What's a DAO?

"If blockchains, NFTs, smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and DApps are tools, DAOs are the groups that use them to create new things. If they’re the what, DAOs are the how.

...They’re the Web3 version of a company or community." @packym

A simple ELI5 mental model for checks vs blockchain transactions:

Picture what a physical check communicates. Payment amount, date, payee, signature, acct number, etc. What info does a blockchain transaction communicate? Amount, timestamp, wallet address, signatures (keys), etc

Can’t wait to break down this paper in a few months

[CNBC @CNBC]

JUST IN: The Fed is moving forward in its efforts to develop its own digital currency, announcing that it will release a research paper this summer that explores the move further. @steveliesman reports. https://t.co/6bAbgAyrNi

We go deeper into the Bitcoin whitepaper, hashing, problems to be solved and cool random sites like Where's George for tracking dollar bills.

Subscribing here (and!/)or there is free, so ROI = ♾.

Will the majority of Earth's billionaires come from crypto?

@brian_armstrong (Coinbase CEO) thinks so, even if @forbes only has 12 on their billionaires list today

More wild stats and a bonus whitepaper summary 👇

But when reviewing the wallets that hold the most Bitcoin, there are:

-32 with > $1B
-7,500 w/ >$10M
-86,000 w/ >$1M

Yes, some are exchanges with multiple peoples' holdings combined. But some whales have multiple wallets, so those numbers cut both ways.

Nobody seemed to give credit to #taxday here in the US when things started dropping. That’s definitely a contributing factor + lends hope to the argument there will be a strong and steady comeback after the selling

[Blockchain Sabbatical 🌊🏆 @blockchainsabba]

@binance is down too and ETH gas fees are $50. Yikes

[Binance @binance]

$ETH and ERC20 withdrawals are temporarily disabled due to network congestion.

Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

@coinbase down = arb traders going bananas. Could mean Black Friday sales for some, but be wary trying to catch falling knives.

Friendly reminder to see if you can score a discount on May 22 for Bitcoin Pizza Day @dominos @pizzahut.

Might not save you $440 million, but every little Satoshi counts

[Blockchain Sabbatical 🌊🏆 @blockchainsabba]

On this day 11 years ago, Laszlo tried to buy two pizzas for 10,000 BTC ($440 million at today's prices)

I wish I'd spent my beerpong money on Bitcoin back then. But I think we're only in the 2nd inning of this blockchain game. https://t.co/vfy1BtGJVx
