@redstone_defi @arrington Missing @LiquidFi_Inc
They have bn’s in mortgage loans on chain

[Matt Hogan @matthewphogan]

@RyanRodenbaugh @CoinDesk @LiquidFi_Inc I don’t. Their website stays up to date with loan UPB tokenized, p&i payments recorded, etc.

I’ll check with them to see if they have Dune or anything else you can keep up with.

It wasn’t 2%, it was 3%!

[Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge]

Here comes the Harvard professors shilling 3% inflation.

"A higher target inflation rate has costs, especially the time and attention people spend trying to account for how much their current dollars will be worth in a year or 10. But a higher target also has the benefit of helping cushion the economy against severe recessions."

It takes a tenured professor to think the main problem with inflation is trying to calculate how much your money's worth in 10 years 🤪

One could make the same reductive argument about stocks. Both would be false

[The Dispatch @thedispatch]

At its core, gambling is what economist Paul Samuelson described as a "sterile transfer."

[Matt Hogan @matthewphogan]

As if it’s about outcomes?

It’s about demolishing legal barriers to otherwise consensual transactions between two or more private parties.

[The Dispatch @thedispatch]

Yet those benefits aren't always clear cut.

A University of Chicago study found “no change in overall per capita income” from gambling legalization in the cases it studied.

@arrington Can you share the inputs? Obviously redacting sensitive info

[Matt Hogan @matthewphogan]

This is by design. Govt wants crypto activity happening at its vassal banks. This way they can conduct surveillance and enforcement thru a very compliant adjunct.

[Chris Burniske @cburniske]

Systemically important banks are picking up more crypto business as they see the growth trajectory of the industry. The failure of their smaller peers represents a moment of opportunity for them to grow their own business lines. https://t.co/99Iaj0JBiD

@DLoesch We should have more private self-governing districts

This was inevitable. Owning your own power source is the only way, long term

If only there were an industrial-sized interruptible load…

Germany wants to force its power-hungry data centers to harness excess heat for warming residential homes — an effort which the industry warns is likely to fall flat https://t.co/kfRKFdZmsq

@profstonge They just slide it in so easily “if we accept”. And so it is decreed

@benedictevans $31T in debt, price controls on money, capital controls on money movement, transaction censorship from on high, FDIC-born moral hazard.
Systemic loss of trust incoming. Sit tight.

[Matt Hogan @matthewphogan]

@wallsthobbes Those proper returns are just trying to catch up with inflation!

[Matt Hogan @matthewphogan]

@profstonge Short term rental of the govt purse strings creates an irresistible incentive to spend and conduct giveaways. Seems intractable in the US
