I can’t tell if @Cloudflare is accidentally using en-dashes in its blog post about EmDash or if the irony is deliberate. https://t.co/jzpuxnRoLS

@lex_node Also, an underrated feature is that the RPM is much lower than most other grinders, so its less jarring to hear in the morning.

@lex_node I got a Niche Zero about a year and a half ago and have been very happy with it. I think there are some legitimate criticisms of its consistency on finer grinds for lighter roasts, but overall works well, and is dead simple to disassemble and clean.

1/ We are excited to introduce the @ElectricCapital Crypto Market Map!

The Crypto Market Map tracks 1,500+ projects in crypto.

It contextualizes every major project in crypto by organizing projects into 6 tech layers & 137 categories.

The DoJ took the position Saturday that “there is no factual basis for treating #USDC as a security” even if the peg isn’t perfect. This is not a big surprise given the number of CFTC actions involving USDC, but nice to see in such explicit terms.

The Biden-Harris Administration sends our best wishes to everyone celebrating Nowruz across the U.S. and around the world. As we mark the start of Spring, the Haft-Sin table at the White House is decorated to reflect the potential and promise of the new year.

Dear @TheDailyShow, could you please turn down the volume of the outro music on your youtube videos?

One reason trad lawyers see implied duties everywhere in crypto is their skepticism that cooperative systems can emerge organically from adversarial relationships.

That’s foundational to crypto.

Most law partners hate each other & can’t imagine cooperating w/o a contract. 🤣

The SEC has published memorandums formally confirming negotiations with BlackRock and Grayscale on issues related to the listing of spot BTC-ETFs.

This is the most engaged SEC has ever been with BTC ETF submissions.

What if they approved it next week?

"Blast is just a 3/5 multisig..."

I spent the past few days diving into the source code to see if this statement is actually true.

Here's everything I learned:

Crypto made it possible for the DOJ to seize $225m from human traffickers. When it comes to preventing crimes, crypto > cash

@lex_node @RuneKek I think the problem you get to is that the US and/or others that view simultaneously take a broad view of the extraterritorial reach of their security/derivatives/CTF/etc. laws :-/

Today, we are excited to launch the Paradigm Policy Lab 🚀🧪

Led by @brendanpmalone and myself, the Lab will be a gathering place for academics, policy experts, lawyers, and technologists to study how to address the biggest policy challenges in crypto

PROPOSED TAX REGS THREATEN US BLOCKCHAIN ACCESS

Yesterday the IRS proposed crypto broker reporting regs.

If finalized in their current form, the regs would require websites like those for @Uniswap, @opensea, and @etherscan, & many block builders, to geoblock US people.

A🧵...

@SebVentures How are you differentiating this from BENJIs? (Genuinely curious and not picking on you or any institutional/TradFi players; I get that regulatory progress sometimes comes in small steps, but also excited to hear about paradigm-disrupting models).

[Jacob Minne @jacob_minne]

@LegallyBlockchn @PopPunkOnChain Birthday twins!! Happy birthday!

[Jacob Minne @jacob_minne]

@BillHughesDC Take my like, but Howey is not the be-all-end-all of the intersection between crypto and the SEC. Nuking Chevron could put at risk the pending revisions to Reg ATS and the custody rule, both of which are squarely targeted at crypto.
