@pitdesi @sferik You should almost always lease. 1) You only pay sales tax on depreciation vs entire purchase price, 2) Black Scholes teaches us there is always value to an option (especially with Teslas), 3) lease interest rates are often subsidized so lower than your opportunity cost of capital

@patio11 Can you explain why AMEX doesn’t use 2.5 of the last digits of a card number, therefore making last 4 maddeningly similar or even duplicate if you hold lots of AMEX cards?

@RobMahoney @SheaSerrano I can confirm that Rob is a very good mid range shooter beyond his excellent interior game. Shea would have no chance.

@bijan I think one thing never in doubt about Joe is that he is a truly good person at heart.

@mmullany I think we can all agree that the SPAC phase was roundly ill advised but no one forced companies to use that vehicle. They willingly chose to cash out.

This week's Crypto Curious dives into Uniswap, the most successful, and one of the most interesting applications in crypto.

@mmullany It’s actually been quite a while now.

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

@jonwu_ This is the way.

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

@jungofthewon So wait, you’re saying you don’t want to have hot pot with me?!?

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

@garyleff It’s also not an issue for crypto. The DAF sells the crypto upon receipt and credits the market price. Exactly the same as donation stock.

I'm in a business school beef. So I wrote this edition of Crypto Curious on all the ways in which crypto is productive, transparent and has some real businesses with real cash flows.

@jungofthewon I always thank Siri so I don't think it's just you. You're just a nice person.

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

@jungofthewon Well, he did give himself a “3” last quarter so there’s been some good growth.

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

In this week's issue. The Good: Coinbase fights back against the SEC. The Bad: Tron and Binance definitely aren’t helping. The Ugly: Crypto is veering partisan, just like everything else.

@drewsanocki Table at Omnia?

[Erik Budde @ebudde]

Much to discuss after a busy two weeks for crypto. We'll recap some of the banking changes, review some crypto legal wins and assess where it all leaves us:
