A Sunday thread🧵 on purpose, speaking your mind🧠, free speech, US crypto regulatory issues — and the notable crypto figures who aren’t afraid to make their thoughts known. There is enough negativity on crypto Twitter, it’s worth pointing out who should be applauded.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

The biggest differences between Republicans and Democrats used to be fiscal policy and their perceptions of the first and second amendments.

A few years ago, it deviated wildly to individual freedom on one side and top down control on the other.

"He said that all four believe there’s at least a 10% chance that AI will kill 50% of humanity in the next 20 years."
That's not good. Can crypto fix this?🫠https://t.co/o4BzxjAlaA

"Durov also contended that it was actually French law enforcement that only recently began following the proper procedures outlined by the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA)." France has gotta start playing by the rules...https://t.co/7pcvbxoYCt

Dreuger-Kunning Effect

The Dreuger-Kunning Effect is a cognitive bias in which individuals who are credentialed, celebrated, or publicly recognized as experts within an institutional domain systematically overestimate their competence — particularly when challenged by highly skilled outsiders or required to perform under pressure or in a crisis circumstance.

Unlike the classic Dunning-Kruger Effect (Dunning & Kruger, 1999), in which unskilled individuals mistakenly believe themselves to be highly competent, the Dreuger-Kunning Effect reflects the inverse: a failure of institutional experts to perform at the level of their presumed mastery when subjected to open, critical, or outsider-driven scrutiny.

This effect often manifests in established fields where credentialism, conformity, or reputational inertia substitute for actual insight, adaptability, or performance. It underscores how expertise confined within a closed echo chamber may erode true skill, rendering celebrated experts vulnerable to disruption by independent or cross-disciplinary thinkers.

@brucefenton There are a lot of issues, but high fees is the big one IMO. See @rogerkver's great @HijackingBTC for more context...

"Americans May Have Missed Out on Billions of Dollars' Worth of Crypto Airdrops" No need to qualify it, we have 🤷‍♂️https://t.co/vtX3KdEv6k

[Marcus Alburez @marcusalburez]

The government of Bolivia just rugged everyone holding dollars in their bank accounts, and instead is telling people they will get the commensurate amount in the local currency, bolivianos - which is redeemable back to USD for 50% less.

This is why Latin America needs crypto.

@rogerkver - and many others - are being unfairly prosecuted for promoting crypto and freedom. Others are already in prison. I hope @realDonaldTrump can do something about this. https://t.co/P60Xlq4bKO

Pardon @rogerkver please, @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/WsfsXLlC1P
