    Check out my work on modeling noncustodial "(In)Stability for the Blockchain: Deleveraging Spirals and Stablecoin Attacks". A foundational step in a scientific approach to stablecoin design. I will present at June 25.

    The 2-week based estimator above isn't necessarily any better actually. We also don't know how long until an infection becomes fatal or not. And the limited data on that probably isn't easily accessible. All we can say is that the rate is *probably* >2%

    My understanding is we basically have no idea what the actual death and recovery rates are this early. Anyone else have a better take on this? (4/4)

    Less biased estimator would be current deaths/reported cases two weeks ago (~400): 200/400 = 50%. But the margin of error is huge with that sparse of data and considering that there is a lot of noise to the 'true' average rates (3/4)

    ...to report 200/10k = 2% as death rate since it could be weeks before patients die/recover. By the same measure, recovery rate is also 2%, which clearly doesn't make sense. The estimator is a biased underestimate by an exponential factor (2/4)

    The coronavirus death rate is commonly reported as 2-3%. But is this reasonable? Reported stats are ~10k infected patients, ~200 deaths, and ~200 recoveries. Since we're in the first few weeks of the outbreak, (1) the data is pretty sparse, and (2) it's pretty deceiving... (1/4)

    I am honored to receive the PhD fellowship from Bloomberg. Many thanks for supporting my work

    This value accrual can be from a traditional sense of cashflows, from use cases providing natural demand, or more intangible things like value from decentralization/censorship resistance

    Reminder: cashflow/value accrual expectations, whether honest or through attack, usually determine rational (e.g., game theory) valuations, not arbitrary number-go-up economics. Haven't seen a convincing argument that any system is an exception

    (1/7) Here is a new paper on hypergraph cuts by , the twitterless Jon Kleinberg, and me that I am very excited about: min s-t graph cut is one of the basic problems we learn about in an algo class. What if we want min s-t _hypergraph_ cut?

    E.g., why should a governance contract that directly extracts the collateral and/or mints Dai without corresponding collateral ever have been in the set of valid governance contracts in the first place? (Although that doesn't exclude indirect ways to do such things...)

    Independent of a time delay, it's also pretty surprising that there aren't basic constraints that limit the scope of a valid governance contract. Seems that there should be some level of hardcoding of the Dai design that MKR holders must work within

    This is why they tell you not to read your own book reviews. Thanks Howard – could you suggest a book where I could learn more about “chaos theory”?

    The price drop in ETH had some very interesting side effects for DAI and the CDP contracts that collateralize it.

    A lot of risk in DeFi is ignored today. These are systems we don't understand very well. They're not necessarily safe just because they're on blockchain. We've already seen glimpses of crises in stablecoins. It's quite a challenge to design complex systems that work well
