LinkedIn needs a button "I Like this, but it belongs on Facebook".

Or am I just grumpy? Definitely not ruling out grumpy...

I'm quite pleased with how this came out: Tokenisation and the Nation State Stack https://t.co/gcEV2aF8nA

AI agents in everything are the Clippy of the 2020s. "Would you like me to stuff this up for you, or do you want to do it yourself?"

It's that time of the year when I lose track of my online orders. Then on Xmas morning it's "hang on, where's the...?"

Is there any possibility that the odds for Trump on Polymarket, Kalshi, et al are a reflection of people hedging their emotions? - If the fascist wins, at least I'll be able to afford a decent bottle of scotch to drown my sorrows.

Why don't people put clear dates at the top of their articles on crypto & blockchain? It's a critical piece of information. Something written in 2018 or 2020 is from a different world. Don't make me try and work it out from the data you reference, or the topic you are discussing!

The 4th chapter in my series on how to think about blockchains covers the tokenisation of everything. https://t.co/IjNd1XmNva

We need to agree on a single definition for the word growler. Depending on where you are in the country you could be referring to a pork pie, a beer container or a minge. It's madness and someone's going to get hurt

A clue to what makes countries rich. And this is on a log scale.

South Africa's President Ramaphosa says its energy crisis is an 'existential threat' to SA's economy and social fabric. He's promising to bring the daily power cuts 'to an end'. 7 mins on a story that's about more than electricity. https://t.co/SKp8d7wOVJ

The below clip is from a Fall 2018 Graduate MIT course called "Blockchain and Money"

Gary Gensler - the current President of the SEC, was the professor.

The Hypocrisy speaks for itself 🐀

"So we already know in the US and in many other jurisdictions that 3/4 of the market are not ICOs or NOT what would be called securities, even in the US, Canada, and Taiwan, the three jurisdictions that follow something similar to the Howey Test that we've talked about. 3/4 of the market is non-securities. It's just a commodity, a cash crypto."

It's going to be really hard to spot April fools this year

How much of your day is spent drafting emails, preparing presentations, or staring at a blank page? AI can help lighten the load.

@AbsaSouthAfrica @woowiefied Actually, the confirmation part works, it just won't go into the app. Which is still frustrating, but not terminal

[Paul Mitchell @phmitch]

@AbsaSouthAfrica @woowiefied This doesn't work. How do I pay a new beneficiary without access to the app? And don't say "go into a branch"
