    Energy abundance is the root of the policy tree, the big unlocker. With energy abundance, you have factories, jobs, national security, energy security, food security, water security (desalination), GDP and so much more. With energy scarcity, you have foreign wars over scarce

    What was SBF lobbying against? DeFi. 🤔 What would have prevented this? DeFi. 🤔 What exchanges already publish real-time proof-of-reserves? DeFi. 🤔 What will US regulators try to shut down? DeFi. 🤷‍♀️

    Utter corruption at the SEC. Gensler and cronies should offer their resignations immediately.
    BINGO! 🤑Found a memorandum of the @SECGov in which it is recorded what the meeting of the SEC with @SBF_FTX was about: The risks and NATURALLY non-action relief from Gary for @FTX_Official. The best investor protection agency in the whole world by far! ❤️

    Which hodler whale will be the first to buy a house with @AlchemixFi? - Deposit $500k ETH - $250k USD loan from Alchemix, for a house in Atlanta - ETH is locked until internal yield generation repays the loan. - In the future, you get back 100% of your ETH.

    It's not amazing, it's embarrassing. The #bitcoin payment solution that was purported to be ready by year 2019 is, in year 2022, barely squeaking over the "payment went through on the first attempt" milestone. 🤦‍♀️

    The rot was SBF and FTX. The apparent theft of "we invest in you, if your company deposits at FTX" was all FTX. Alleged stealing from employees, partners and portfolio companies was all FTX. Beware media #misdirection attempts @FT, redirecting away from a heavy Democrat donor.
    Honestly this headline and write up is awful from the FT. @cz_binance’s “actions left Bankman-Fried’s FTX filing for bankruptcy” is utter BS. SBFs actions left FTX and hundreds more filing for bankruptcy. Pointing the finger at CZ is a weird angle for the media to take.

    We are witnessing a pivotal moment in the history of the development of the modern algorithmic authoritarian state. Say the "wrong" thing, donate to the "wrong" cause, and you are added to A List. Those on the List will be #debanked without trial, unable to buy food or shelter
    It's not just banks. Canada's new dragnet, will encompass basically every part of the financial system (including securities dealers) in order to cut off the truckers from funding. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
