🧵 For the first time in #Bitcoin's life, its available supply has been declining. Each cycle before our current one, #BTC's supply increased and moved to new highs (See black circles). This does mean that this time will be different. I believe the next bull run will be epic. 1/5
One notable thing about this rapidly developing international story: Since Elon Musk took a sledgehammer to Twitter’s verification system, the platform is far less useful during breaking news events, and so people are depending on traditional newsrooms for verifiable information.

Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project. No one is more excited than us to be sharing something with you later in the year.
We’ve seen some confusion and speculation about it. Seems to be a lot of guess work out there. Can’t say too much at this stage but to be clear, nothing has been artificially or synthetically created. It’s all real and we all play on it. We cleaned up some existing recordings - a process which has gone on for years.
We hope you love it as much as we do. More news in due course - Paul
Meeting with the Arts Minister and some artist representatives this wk around interactions between the NSW Police and artists pursuing legitimate careers in music. If you or anyone you know has been affected by this and want to share ur experience get in touch 🚨
Music's next decade is about cultivating fans.

Deputy Governor of @RBAInfo confirms that its plan is to drive the unemployment rate up to 4.5% to tame inflation. That’s around 140,000 workers to lose their jobs. https://t.co/sV42mwRvlQ
@BenMorgan47 A good start is this research paper by Will Page (ex-Spotify economist) and Audiomack’s Chris Dalla Riva on ‘Glocalisation’ and why streaming is enabling local/regional artists to have more success in their home countries. https://t.co/4LY4gmBJqG

A very cool animation of atmospheric CO₂ for the year 2021:
* Fossil fuels, orange
* Burning biomass, red
* Land ecosystems, green
* Ocean, blue
For a well-mixed GHG, it takes some time for CO₂ to distribute globally from the sources in the North!

Messi joining the MLS sent shockwaves through the sports world.
It could be a game-changer. But not just for soccer in the US.
Here's how a last-place team beat out a $1.6B offer to get the GOAT...and what it says about the future of the creator economy.
When he won, Millennials only made up 16% of all enrolled voters in our 2 largest states. The last Liberal Prime Minister who actually tried to connect with this growing electoral group was @TurnbullMalcolm
Last year, Millennials and Gen Z made up 40% of all voters in Melbourne and Sydney.
The Liberal Party, seem to love wheeling out Abbott and Howard. But they are like two old uncles on the dance floor at a rave, trying to dance to ABBA but the tune is actually being played by Armin Van Buuren. Awkward and silly.
Andrew Probyn made redundant at ABC. In total across the news division, 41 positions are being abolished, with another 24 created.
Such a shame. More experience out the door, swapping for younger cheaper.
How many mgmt positions have been scrapped? https://t.co/KaoakpjZEp
