Financial privacy in the U.S. has been in disrepair for more than 50 years, and it’s getting worse.

Less than four years later and Federal debt is now $31 trillion. Up 40%.
The situation is completely fucked and impossible to fix.
If you own government bonds you are the greater fool.

The 10-Yr Treasury rate over the past 60 years. The Federal Gov has ~$22 trillion in debt. Each additional 1% rise in rates is ~$220 billion in additional annual expense. 3% rate increase (still below norm) adds more interest payments annually than entire military budget. #rekt

Better to build decentralized things which transcend policy.
I’m glad some are fighting the good fight in Mordor, but permissionless technology doesn’t ask permission.

1/ If you're a leader in crypto right now, you have two jobs: 1) build things aside from a shitcoin casino, 2) engage in the policy conversation.
We can only fight the fights on privacy, self-custody, innovation, etc. when we are somewhat serious.

Dear users…
You can do token swaps in MetaMask and pay 875 bps fee
Or you can connect your same MetaMask wallet to and then pay 000 bps fee with exact same liquidity.
There is no catch.
Enjoy!
