1/ I've been relatively quiet about this on x, mostly because I have just been having so much fun building, but it's time to share publicly: I'm Head of Strategy at @AskVenice.

- It just keeps getting worse, now robinhood auto-selling people's GME positions, this is wholly unacceptable. If this was crypto and you held your own keys this would be impossible - exit the legacy financial system as soon as you can #Bitcoin .
- SBF openly admits on @bankless he thinks we have to sacrifice permissionless front ends to regulators to not get “even worse” regulation. He is absolutely wrong on this, and has apparently lost the plot.
- Hearing rumors that Bitcoin and Ethereum will continue to churn out regular blocks tomorrow, just like every other day. Big if true.
- I love @balajis’ concept of “win and help win”. It embodies the positive sum mindset that I think can make the crypto sector most powerful. If many of us continue to find ways to both create wealth/opportunity and help others do the same, crypto will remain unstoppable.
- SEC: Anything over 0.5% interest is illegal! How dare anyone want to try to keep pace with inflation!?!?
- It’s been inspirational to watch the work put out by the @ShapeShift DAO over the past year. Check it out if you haven’t, there is a lot more to come.The free, open-source, non-custodial, multi-chain crypto interface 🦊 ShapeShift.com 🎯 Private, no account needed 🎯 In-app cross-chain swaps (ie ETH to BTC) 🎯 @Ledger, @MetaMask, @xdefi_wallet, @TallyCash, @keplrwallet, @portis_io, @cryptokeepkey all supported
- 1/ I am so excited to announce that as of today, ShapeShift will be open sourcing all of its code, the ShapeShift DAO is born, and ShapeShift is now on the path to entirely decentralizing!
- 10 Lessons from DAO land for the new year (a thread) - It has been has been about 6 months since ShapeShift announced the shutting down of the corporate entity and launched the ShapeShift DAO. Some lessons from the decentralization process from 6 months of building:
- Crypto is already past oversold and undervalued at these prices. Doesn’t mean we can’t go down further (we certainly can and probably will) - but there are already life changing opportunities on the table for those willing to buy and hold for the long term.
- On a fundamental level this tornado cash ruling is more bullish for the industry than any recent price action.
- The future is decentralized, non-custodial, and multi-chain. Build for that future, not for where we are today.
- Not to be alarmist, but if they are changing shareholder laws overnight to force bank acquisitions then the chances of them trying to pass through a midnight law to ban withdraws to crypto self-custody have materially increased. Get to self-custody sooner than later.
