    While it's bittersweet, I'm very excited to share this news. @ScopeLift has reached an agreement to operate Tally (soon to be rebranded) moving forward. Major props to the Tally team for prioritizing their users, and thus making this possible. Onward!

    We just absorbed the collapse of a $40 BN systemic ponzi (2/3 the size of Lehman bankruptcy) while facing the same strong macro headwinds that has all other assets tanking as well. And we're still 50% above last cycle's ATH. Who knows where it goes from here, but that's something

    Bitcoiner Project Assessments: - DAI/Maker: SCAM - Zcash: SCAM - Litecoin: SCAM - Ethereum: SCAM - The Fed: SCAM - The US Government: SCAM - Bitfinex/Tether: Listen, it's complicated. You really have to dig into the nuance of the situation. Don't want to rush to judgement here.

    On *every single issue* related to this crisis, the internet hive mind has been at least 3 weeks ahead of literally every institution we’re supposed to put our trust in, and it is so goddamned frustrating.

    We have new guidance for New Yorkers: We're advising New Yorkers to wear a face covering when you go outside and near others. It can be a scarf, a bandana or one you make at home. But PLEASE: save medical masks for our health care workers & first responders who truly need them.

    Ok an actual serious take: If @elonmusk’s offer is not accepted, then this platform is truly doomed. It’s an extremely good offer— great for shareholders. The only reason to decline is a zealous commitment to censorship. If that’s whose running the company, then just shut it down

    Zero Knowledge cryptography may be the most under appreciated technology on the planet. They’re poised to be hugely impactful over the next decade, but no one— and I mean no one— outside of cryptography researchers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts have even heard of them.

    Honestly one of the least bullish things about Bitcoin I've heard recently. No idea why anyone pro-Bitcoin would celebrate this.

    Waiting for the next crypto bull run right now may be like waiting for the next “dot com” bull run in 2002. One never came, but then one day a couple decades later we woke up to realize the internet had infiltrated & reshaped every crevice of media, politics, business & culture.

    The IRS is hiring 87,000 enforcement agents and the Fed is sanctioning privacy preserving technology. Where do we think this is going?

    I really mean this: every software engineer worth their salt should drop everything else and come work in crypto. The upside is enormous. There is almost no downside. If crypto disappears you're still a developer, i.e. HIGHLY employable by almost every company on the planet.
