Confirmed: The DNS records that tell systems how to find https://t.co/qHzVq2Mr4E or https://t.co/JoIPxXI9GI got withdrawn this morning from the global routing tables. Can you imagine working at FB right now, when your email no longer works & all your internal FB-based tools fail?
The record of us exchanging these virtual rings will be permanently stored on the #blockchain for all to see as proof of our commitment to each other. This is what it looks like on the blockchain explorer @etherscan. 5/7
Most people get married in a place of religious worship, on a beach, or in the mountains. Peter (@iphelix) and I are NOT most people. We got married on the #blockchain. 1/7
In addition to a traditional Jewish ceremony, we wanted to solidify our vows in a more personal way. Since we both work at @Coinbase, @iphelix wrote an @Ethereum smart contract for our marriage that issued digital artwork as tokens (#NFTs) to our cryptocurrency wallets. 2/7
Bank of America Sees DeFi 'Potentially More Disruptive Than Bitcoin' - CoinDesk. “We believe that one of the best differences against being disintermediated by DeFi would be mainstream finance grasping these opportunities” https://t.co/W85f4smFyX
BREAKING: Microstrategy has purchased another 205 bitcoin for $10 million.
They now hold 91,064 bitcoin on their balance sheet.
This may be one of the greatest displays of conviction in public market history.
Facebook’s plan for a digital currency was lousy but had less-than-lousy consequence of forcing the world’s monetary guardians to wake up and address some pretty major flaws in the way in which their currency works right now. From @FT #CBDC https://t.co/NNWwUPLyRk

Great opening statement from @giancarloMKTS about the Digital Dollar Project. "Next step should be a pilot program driven by the Federal Reserve that draws upon the innovativeness of the private sector to test various designs, technologies and protocols." #CBDC#DigitalDollar
“Among the Central Bank projects currently under way are explorations into the development of regulatory and supervisory technological practices, the global payment stack, tokenisation, digitalisation of the trade process and monitoring of fast-paced markets.”
BIS Innovation Hub to expand to Central Banks in Europe and North America. “BIS Innovation Hub was established to identify and develop in-depth insights into critical trends in financial technology of relevance to central banks...” https://t.co/1cNJGVDgwO
I offer some thoughts on solutions for Central Banks developing blockchain based digital currencies, including the approach of @fnality payment systems and the Digital Dollar Project. #CBDC#DigitalDollar
Great lineup, interesting discussion. Focus needs to be on upgrading financial systems of the past that are no longer state of the art. SWIFT messaging is just a one-way dialogue that gets repeated like a game of telephone. We need digital unit of account, not more messaging.

Many times it takes an emergency to fast track necessary changes that would otherwise take years of government bureaucracy to implement. Glad to see the right technology being used for this initiative. @RepStephenLynch https://t.co/M84Jf6t7fi
This was a great discussion with @alextapscott and @giancarloMKTS about the need for a Fed backed #CBDC (referred to as the "digital dollar"). Well worth the time to watch in its entirety. At @E2EBlockchains we are hard at work designing solutions for the new digital architecture
Financial industry will need to find $100bn of unrecognised assets to meet collateral requirements. Another use case opportunity for @fnality USC. https://t.co/MBAElWvLAG
