The status quo whispers to crypto, “You cannot withstand the storm.” Crypto whispers back, “I am the storm.” LFG (not investment advice)

1/ As the insurance of tech, risk management is in our DNA.

@vouch_group was fully operational throughout the weekend, which allowed us to continue our commitment to our clients and the broader technology community with concrete actions, not just words.

A quick 🧵:

#BitcoinTwitter and #CryptoTwitter! Square is hiring 3-4 crypto engineers and 1 designer to work full-time on open source contributions to the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem. Work from anywhere, report directly to me, and we can even pay you in bitcoin! Introducing @SqCrypto. Why?

What are the biggest problems you've seen in token distribution models? eg founders have too many tokens, inflation too high (bad for price), not clearly defined, lack of tail emissions to ensure network security

What else am I missing? What are the other variables?

[Lane Rettig @lrettig]

Thought experiment: fast-forward five years and the Ethereum experiment has failed. Why did it fail? Extra points for providing plausible detail.

Hint: I don't think it would be because of the tech

It may be the crypto winter for price, but it feels like the the summer for innovation. Decentralized lending, interest, derivatives, prediction markets, Lightning and L2, zk-SNARKS/STARKS, bulletproofs, staking, stablecoins...lot of good things happening across the ecosystem.

.@Tronfoundation’s $TRX is pumping because it will allow people to claim #BitTorrent-coin ($BTT).

Though, per tweets like Bram’s & other whispers, Tron is just shilling BitTorrent’s brand, while talent bleeds & workability of $BTT is an afterthought.

When you create poo poo out of thin air, gravity is a bitch. Check out the latest report from BitMEX Research on ICOs.

Fast-forward 10 years into the future and these four tycoons transfer their wealth into a time-locked, multi-sig Bitcoin address.

Then again, the future comes at you fast - might be less than 10 years

IMO the Ethereum community should consider adopting @zcashco's terminology of calling things like Constantinople "network upgrades" and reserve "fork" for splits that leave 2+ viable chains. Too many people asking me lately where they can dump their non-Constantinople coins...

[Amber ☘️ @AmberBaldet]

Cell phone location data, collected by telcos for basic service, is resold though complex unregulated supply chains to "detect fraud or provide roadside assistance," but also to private 3rd parties (stalkers), bounty hunters, and law enforcement. Fun! https://t.co/P6k57GYYIr

I just walked out of the Hong Kong SFC (that’s their equivalent of the SEC) office and uhhhh holy hell was that a stark contrast to meetings with the US SEC.

The U.S. is going to be left so far behind in the new decade due to fragmented, archaic, and stringent regulations.

[Joey Krug @joeykrug]

It strikes me as a red flag that any web app would need to utilize greater than 3 libraries.
