Canada is a shining example of why decentralization matters:
- Canada froze bank accounts of protestors
- Canada limits annual purchase of non-ETH crypto at $30k
- Canada prohibits crypto leveraged trading
- Canada is hostile to CEXs
thanks for being our proof of concept 🫡
it's pretty embarrassing for Canada that ethereum was essentially founded by Canadians & many crypto builders are Canadian yet most of them have left Canada

The ABCs of commercial POAP drops:

Once again, if USDC implodes, then that will simply be a chance to teach people about the mechanism used by Rai to withstand shocks to the collateral base. Everyone will see that, in fact, the currently deployed comtracts Maker were designed to enable it for *exactly that reason*
What happens if people begin to understand that depositing in a bank is actually LPing in a hedge fund where you have no idea what they're betting on and share none of the upside, but take on all the downside risk if they do a bad job of gambling with your money?
are Magic the Gathering cards a security?
people buy them in order to play the game
people also (emergently) buy them to speculate, hoping that Wizards of the Coast will continue to make the franchise more valuable (and thus their cards)
It's a heartbreaking situation
Alexey Pertsev has been in jail while facing severe accusations of money laundering.

Are devs safe?
UPDATE: Alexey Pertsev, Tornado Cash Dev, bail denied again. His next hearing is in April.
**Alexey Pertsev is being held without charge, has a family, and simply wrote code.
**meanwhile @SBF_FTX is at home using VPN’s and playing video games.
At this point it might just be easier to abandon the US dollar and just start pricing everything in Ether.
We do it for NFTs already, just need to expand on it.
Adoption is a game of changing people's perspectives and minds.
We need more of that and less stablecoin experiments
