most of the metaphors that the crypto community has used to build hype or feel baddass about their tools are bad. code is not law. code is not an unstoppable machine. cryptocurrency networks are a bunch of people independently running code, that's it. 1/
Listen to this great interview by @TBSocialist on Circles UBI and platform cooperatives. The interview took place at the Crypto Commons Gathering with Blanka Vay and Andreas Arnold from our team.
How does social inequality, traveller communities and cashless society intersect? I joined @AdamRutherford, @lokiscottishrap and @_dodo on BBC Radio 4 Start of the Week today to discuss the hidden class dynamics of payments https://t.co/Td7AQv1Hku (also available in podcast form)
1/ It's a big day for US crypto policy as @SenLummis & @SenGillibrand announce the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, a 69-page bill creating a thorough regulatory framework for digital assets.
There's a lot to like here. Some highlights & next steps:

Love seeing the Lummis Bill accepting a DAO definition that includes cooperatives. I'm here for that.
I'll be on a DAO-coop planning spree the next few weeks. I've asked before & have your input in my list; what else, what resources do you want to see on DAO as coops?
A world in which medicines like insulin and PrEP are freely available is within reach. What we need is public ownership in pharmaceuticals—"our pharma"—as an alternative to #BigPharma. https://t.co/tazjBCdAgd

@jerrybrito How much of it has been cashed out?
Journalists are really abusing the definition of 'seize' lately. It's not necessary to seize fiat if you can prevent the target from being able to spend it. Just ask #Putin.
What legal issues are you facing in #web3❓
What engineering issues are you facing in web3❓
Yeah, this is us doing market research to see where we'll be focusing our working groups.

Bitcoin started *because* the banking system was corrupt and a small minority of people used the system to benefit disproportionately.
Yet, when we attached BTC to the USD we built a bridge for the old money to come in and do the exact same thing to Bitcoin...

1/8 Bad news for #bitcoin & #cryptocurrency in the EU 🚨
The POW-ban has basically made its way back into the draft of the European Parliament that will be voted on in the committee on Monday.
I just read the latest draft. A quick update 👇

@jp_koning That's a pretty antagonistic narrative, IMO.
For one, you have to buy into an existing narrative that claims some multiple of the trading price (at some point in time) represents a fixed value point against which, any growth in qty means 'dilution'.
That is digital-metallism.
2. But this isn't actually the case for most of crypto. BlockFi, a centralized group of entities, offers a very straightforward product that always should have been easy to register, regardless of whether it should have to be registered.
Please join @AshBennington , the CEO of @CelsiusNetwork Alex Mashinksy @Mashinsky, and I as we pull back the curtain on the operations behind those lucrative stablecoin yields.
Keep asking questions! You decide the level of risk and sustainability.
Take aways from the #blockfi settlement with the #SEC (https://t.co/Ma86PVtdgy…) 1. BIA were notes under the Reves test; one factor is that there is "no alternative
