I was trained as an economist but no longer identify as one. I’ll write a longer essay on why soon, but briefly: I no longer accept as true the basic premises of the field that differentiate it from other social sciences. Not to say there if nothing to be gained by entertaining

It’s wild how a little tech wrapper allows people to get away with obviously illegal things. If you received a suitcase of cash from a foreign adversary that would be an issue. If you float a coin bought by a foreign adversary and sold by you, that’s just crypto

I am really excited to see a former post-doc in one of my labs launch the first large-scale academic survey of the Web3 community: @stateof_crypto, stateofcrypto.net. I think this is an incredibly important effort, because so many claims fly around about what Web3 folks

Let me try to nuance further. On the one hand, I don't think blockchains are necessary to "solve the double spend problem" and that there are many better approaches we will get to. On the other hand, the idea that the features that allow it to solve that problem are mostly

This was the most eventful year of my life, with #RadicalMarkets, @RadxChange, buying a house etc. But it looks like next year holds even more, as Alisha and I are expecting a baby girl in early May!
