It takes a pretty extreme lack of self-awareness and intellectual curiosity to confidently claim “all of crypto is a scam” Same applies to crypto projects that claim to have solved major societal problems when approximately no one uses their solution

If the US only treats DeFi as a weapon, it will only be a weapon to the US, one that other nations will perfect and we will not understand.

I am glad DOJ is cleaning up the garbage. They speak of using the tools available: over time it will become clear that crypto is, in fact, a powerful tool for thwarting financial crime.

If you are a founder and your perspective changes with the wind, you will build something quite brittle. Do not confuse adaptability with lack of conviction. Successful iteration does not require constantly re-laying foundations.

Heroes are born in bear markets. The people who come to crypto in 2023 won't be the tourists or the mercenaries, they'll be the fearless believers committed to building a self-sovereign foundation for the digital age. They'll be ridiculed right up until they're revered.
