Upgradable money.

Digital property.

Censorship resistance.

Self custody.

We can use zero-knowledge proofs to solve the dilemma of retaining privacy whilst staying compliant. If I can prove I’m not on a list and haven’t interacted with addresses that are, I should be able to keep my identity private and transact as I wish. Are any teams building this?

The internet democratized access to information, but not intelligence.

AI will democratize access to intelligence, but not creativity.

Walmart lowers forecast and shares tank after hours

the message is pretty simple: regular people getting squeezed hard and can’t afford to buy as much as they used to

[Ben Hunt @EpsilonTheory]

LOL. As if the reality of two quarters of declining GDP doesn’t exist if we don’t use the word “recession”. It’s the epitome of Fiat World, where reality is declared, not lived.

And oldie but such a perfect definition of today’s monetary policy objectives written 90+ years ago.

No wonder boomer economists are so comfortable with QE … the grew up with it!

We already have unregulated stable coins in the form of Eurodollars.

In a world moving toward confrontation, seek coordination.

Ironically labeling protocol tokens as securities might be a positive tailwind for the entire space.

Disclosure requirements are already publicly available information to the inquiring party.

Hard to fathom the flood of liquidity in light of sensible regulation.

[private @private_dood]

Cryptodollars will replace Eurodollars.

This. But my play is skewed toward crypto assets.

The physical gold thesis is simple:

For those who believe that status quo (gross excess of fin claims vs future CFs backing them) is unsustainable, phys gold is an indispensible core holding.

For those who believe status quo is sustainable, gold is just another spec trade.

In the real free market blow ups and deleveraging have dominated.

Do we not ascribe some reasonable probability that a similar event is on the horizon for financial markets?

[Simon Mikhailovich @S_Mikhailovich]

Bottom line - the markets are priced for a "goldilocks" outcome - low inflation w/out low earnings. I. E. Investors remain unconcerned about counterparty or other systemic sovereign risks.

Those who see nothing but blue skies ahead have no use for gold.

[Simon Mikhailovich @S_Mikhailovich]

Tracking core inflation, excluding food and energy, is like tracking core health, excluding cancer and heart disease.
