Most of you know me as one of the founders of Mudrex. But here’s something not a lot of people know.
We’ve also been quietly building a cross-border payments company on the side.
And now it’s time to talk about it 🧵
@Sabermoney
Jony Ive tells Patrick Collison about the first time he saw a Mac (and why it convinced him he had to meet Steve Jobs and Apple team):
“I remember discovering the Mac [in the late-1980s]…what I realized was that what we make stands testament to who we are and what we make describes our values. It describes our preoccupations.
This struck me so powerfully when I saw the Mac. I got a very clear sense of a group of clearly original thinkers with clear values.
You know, you can look at something and it can either tell you ‘I was designed to meet a price point at a certain time, so I hit the schedule’…or you can try and design something that genuinely attempts to move the species on. […]
I really do believe — and I wish that I had empirical evidence — but I do believe that we have this ability to sense care. [It's easy to sense care in a service] because you confront the person. It's vicarious when it's via an object. When it's via hardware or a piece of software, it's more complex.
But I think you might understand it more if I said you can sense carelessness. You know carelessness and so I think it's reasonable to believe that you also know care and you sense care.”

The German Govt has Sold Approx 27,000 Bitcoins Since June
I believe that the German Government should have held #Bitcoin instead of selling them. Why?
The involvement of the German and US governments in the Bitcoin market is not a recent development. Over the years, these governments have amassed Bitcoin primarily through criminal seizures and other legal actions, gradually increasing their influence over the market.
Let’s go back in time to understand more ⏮️
• During 1923, in order to pay the striking workers the government simply printed more money. This flood of money led to hyperinflation as more money printing led to prices rising.
• In 1931, Germany faced another major currency crisis, pivotal to the Great Depression, forcing central banks and governments to choose between domestic stability and the gold standard. This crisis affected both the domestic and international arenas, impacting currency, banking, and political systems.
• In 1974-75, Herstatt Bank's collapse in Germany caused a severe crisis in the foreign exchange market, nearly collapsing other institutions and highlighting systemic risks in international banking.
• The German economy faced a recession in 2023 with a 0.2% GDP decline but has slightly recovered however it is still above the long-term average. The inflation also soared after the Russia and Ukraine war.
Now, let’s talk about Bitcoin and how it came into existence
In 2008, during the US financial crisis, Bitcoin was introduced to address the limitations of the traditional banking systems. Bitcoin offers a decentralized, transparent, and secure currency via blockchain technology, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries and transforming digital finance.
Like we know about the concept ‘The Impossible Trinity, or the Trilemma’, which refers to the idea that an economy cannot pursue independent monetary policy, maintain a fixed exchange rate, and allow the free flow of capital across its borders all at the same time.
When applied to Bitcoin, it offers an alternative to traditional currencies. It operates independently of central authority and facilitates global capital movement on a decentralized network. However, its value fluctuates freely, differing from fixed exchange rates, posing both strengths and challenges depending on circumstances.
In such a case, the German Government sailing through inflation and recession should have held the seized Bitcoin for its limited supply and store of value like gold. Most governments should consider holding Bitcoin in their reserves to diversify and maintain the value of their assets. With this, governments can hedge against currency devaluation, ensuring more stable and robust financial reserves.
