Here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that.
@odin_free Agreed somewhat. Mental health and domestic issues are worse than the official data makes it seem. I've learned to be skeptical of any studies done in Japan that may paint Japan in a negative light, because this is a culture that hides its problems and points fingers outside.
@flb_xyz@jimo31351624 Was about to mention this myself. If a centralized super-app becomes dominant and a non-technical user loses access to their account, they are financially rekt. In some ways, it's similar to the monolithic L1 vs. modular ecosystem debate.
@flb_xyz Tangent: Be skeptical of any projects calling themselves "The Crypto/Web3/DeFi Super-app" or similar. That is a title that must be earned, not self-designated.
@nic_carter@DefiantNews@elpedrosolimano I assume you guys will be covering the first Deaton-Warren debate in the roundup? Matt must've been jumping for joy in his cursed house. https://t.co/mjTWvsoPxz
Senate Candidate John Deaton fiercely debates with Elizabeth Warren over crypto policy
“When Bitcoin came along, I thought, 'Great, now you can cut out predatory banks and middlemen and help unbanked people like my mom.'”
John Deaton understands why Bitcoin is here.
Bitcoin is here to rid us of all those middlemen who take shameful advantage of us, as Satoshi Nakamoto put it so well in the early months of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the way to free us from the yoke of the powerful in the current system.
Unfortunately, there's a major problem. With the gradual takeover of the Bitcoin world by BlackRock and the financial giants, there's a great risk that these middlemen will reclaim their place to stand between you and Bitcoin.
React and don't lose sight of the fact that Bitcoin self-custody is the only way to take full advantage of the liberating power of the Bitcoin revolution.

@ptrwtts Also, are you suggesting that rollups will be incentivized to decentralize their sequencers and thus run institutional-grade operators to capture the MEV due to the lack of PBS implementation on Eth mainnet?
@ptrwtts Arbitrum is apparently working on a version of Timeboost for a decentralized sequencer. The currently proposed design is expected to avoid spam but relies on a centralized sequencer. https://t.co/Vx1u4upkLC
@litocoen Agreed, but that won't stop social media platforms from banning accounts that they know have been sold or transferred. It's a risky venture, though not impossible if you are okay with operating in the shadows: https://t.co/guIjkITTnk
@litocoen A similar opportunity is marketplaces for MMORPG characters/accounts. I recall huge money flows in the buying & selling of World of Warcraft characters some years ago. Blizzard has become stricter about prohibiting that though. Off-chain companies would need to be won over.
