With #crypto exchanges in the news for hacks, negligence, and fraud, regulators need to address consumer protection risks. In that regard, regulators should consider adopting "a consumer by design" framework. A point I labour in my thesis. #cryptolaw

With bitcoin up 0.6% and 10 year treasuries down 0.2% today I have to ask:

Is crypto the new risk-free rate?

What they tell you:

If you invested $100 in Apple's IPO and and held shares until today, that investment would be worth about $100,000.

What they don't tell you:

If you invested $100 in Apple's IPO and held shares until today, you would've endured 23 declines of 20% or more.

Honored to work with @Crypto_Counsel on this piece in @Cointelegraph today looking at the state of token sales in the US following the recent @HesterPeirce “Not Braking and Breaking” speech. Still more questions than answers ...

In 1688, Vega had this to say about #investing:
- Never advise anyone to buy or sell shares
- Take every gain without showing remorse for missed profits
- Whoever wishes to win this game must have patience and money...

Still holds true today. #ValueInvesting #StockMarket

Operating in the #Irish #crypto market remains a challenge. Unlike in other jurisdictions where regulatory clarity has been provided, in Ireland, crypto businesses continue to operate in a grey area.

Current book I am reading: Seeking Wisdom from Darwin to Munger. Highly recommend. One quote cited in the book by Marcus Aurelius that I find powerful is:

"Our life is what our thoughts make it"

So true.Mental health is key to success.

Apple and Facebook are now up 18% and 13% this year

Just kidding, they're up 18% and 13% over the past 5 trading sessions

I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for active managers who don't own these companies

Yesterday, the SEC proposed to improve the disclosure that fund shareholders get. https://t.co/aKZjZUHZ8V Here are my thoughts: https://t.co/VFy9MhVq86 We'd like to hear your thoughts.

Becoming wealthy, the basics:

1. Spend less than you make - hold off lifestyle creep.

2. Earn more - no matter what your job, do you have a chance at a raise?

3. Invest wisely - index funds

4. Time matters - start as early as possible.

Few people do this. You can!

Just registered for the #defi - how will decentralisation change the #financial sector?

Should be a good one. #crypto
