Twitter is broken. It’s the only social network where you can have hundreds of thousands of followers and <100 likes on a post. The feed algo is either malicious and enabling censorship (aka “shadowbanning”) or is just broken. Interested to see if/how @elonmusk fixes this.

The biggest problem I have with crypto volatility is that it makes the poor poorer and the rich richer. Why? Because if you are rich, you can hodl your way through bear markets for years but if you’re poor, you need to be able to spend your money and don’t have that luxury.

Exchanges publishing Proof-of-Reserves is just a distraction. We also need Proof-of-Liabilities to go with it. E.g. I could have proof that I have $1bn in deposits but if I owe depositors $2bn, then that’s meaningless. Let’s not make the same mistake again.
