Can't make this up: Germans just crashed the US National Archive after it made all NSDAP member files accessible online. People can for the first time easily research their relative's involvment in the Nazi party. The archives also exist in Germany, but they aren't easily accessible online due to data privacy concerns.

Vertical stacks are powerful. But the stablecoin economy needs open coordination layers – not just better platforms. @arbitrum and @0xPolygon understand this and are investing aggressively to build a real alternative to closed platform plays.

The collection of crypto talent that @stripe has put together is quite impressive. @Offchain has followed a similar strategy of building out industry leading expertise at various levels of the technical stack. Stripe: Tempo, Privy, Bridge Offchain: Prysm, Arbitrum, Zerodev

Imagine how much more successful the community sale could have been if we hadn’t launched it during literal ‘extreme fear’ market sentiment. Yes, we’d all love to launch tomorrow. But we’ve learned from that experience - and this time, we’re staying disciplined for a little longer. Not repeating the same mistake again. twitter.com/JulianLeitloff/sta...

1/ 🧵 Every era of tech hits a fork in the road. Open standards → innovation compounds Closed oligopolies → value gets captured Stablecoins are there now. The question isn’t if they succeed, but how. Read the article from @basche42 and me in @NikMilanovic's @twifintech 👉

coinbase should fund & work with a bunch of startups that solve decentralized, encrypted, self-sovereign KYC data storage I know a handful that are all great and simply need a market leader to start giving a shit think about it: if we can centralize all KYC in a decentralized

Last year nearly crushed me and the Coinbase hack brought it all back. I had this post coming for a while now and it's a coincidence that it is more relevant than I had hoped for. Couple of points: - the good: A better way to do KYC is possible - the hack: Why the hack happened

I mean there’s a huge reason zkKYC solutions aren’t being used: they’re not compliant, that’s the government not the CEX’s fault We’re building the next best thing with @idOS_network : encrypted, self-custodial PII for compliant, private KYC

Reflecting back on this time. It was such a big reason for why I jumped into crypto. The potential for crowdfunded money to activate a global innovation wave was and is profoundly important. The vibe was electric for a while. We need to run it back.

I’ve been saying this for about 7 years. To this day, I find it insane that we could get so close to actually decentralising capital formation with ICOs and then completely abandon it because the first wave of mechanisms were garbage and the SEC said “boo!”. x.com/qwqiao/status/…
