please. PLEASE do not fall for this shit.

Seed phrases are sacred. Always think twice before anything asks you for something like a seed phrase.

this was a great space last year (not sure if it was recorded @hosseeb ?)

Would be great to have another showdown though, we're long overdue

ICYMI: @naval and I hosted a discussion with the leading rollup founders, @sgoldfed, @karl_dot_tech, @EliBenSasson, and @gluk64 of Arbitrum, Optimism, Starkware, ZKSync.

It got heated at times 🔥, but a deep discussion on the pros and cons of OR vs ZKR.

Big batch of announcements today from Amazon, Stability AI, Google and Meta.

Here's what happened and how to make sense of them:

Normalize saying "dub" (instead of "double-yoo") as the name of the letter W.

All letters deserve a one-syllable name.

[Alex Krüger @krugermacro]

If trading $ETH directionally for the merge probably want to go long into the event with stops right above the August lows and shoot for a 1700 break to take price into the 1800-2100 range. Expect CPI next week to give risk assets a one week boost.

We're about to experience a sovereign debt crisis caused by the Europe energy crisis, all a capstone on the 100 year fiat expirement.

Here's how I think the next 6-8 months go down:

Very disappointed to see $DyDx going down this path.

There was some legal grounds for them to justify some blocking - but biometrics collection is never acceptable.

I regret to inform you that most "crypto is resilient to state level attacks" is LARPing.

We have to win politically.

Most of us probably use Nansen, Dune, DefiLlama and Parsec quite frequently.

Today I want to share 10 research tools that are not that well known but I find particularly useful.

HOW DO YOU WIN THE MERGE AS AN INVESTOR?

ETH 2.0 is near, and most agree: it's bullish.

Not only will the merge make the network 99.5% more energy-efficient, it will also turn $ETH into a structurally deflationary, ultra-sound asset.

Here are the ways you can take advantage:

[AdrianoFeria.eth 🦇🔊 🛡️ @AdrianoFeria]

Please explain this to me @SecBlinken,

How come all Americans have been banned from using a privacy software while HSBC has KNOWINGLY aided cartels to launder almost $1 billion, but Americans are still able to have accounts with them, and the NYSE is still operating their stock?

@twobitidiot Not disagreeing here - but why do you feel their wallet service is unlikely to sell-out on privacy?

While that revenue is abysmal, so is the revenue of a lot of premier / 'blue-chip' web3 projects. You can still have a great web3 use case and token model, but demand clearly isn't there yet.

I'm not ready to dismiss them completely (yet)

[Liron Shapira @liron]

.@Helium, often cited as one of the best examples of a Web3 use case, has received $365M of investment led by @a16z.

Regular folks have also been convinced to spend $250M buying hotspot nodes, in hopes of earning passive income.

The result? Helium's total revenue is $6.5k/month

The separation of money and state seems like a radical concept, but so did separation of church and state a few centuries ago. Such a thought would be considered outlandish then.

A brief thread.🧵
