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.

If you thought the current regulatory landscape was a quagmire, wait until the United States is the biggest investor in the market. The effect: big up, then big oops.

Agencies should not be able to change what the laws are, only the ways that laws are implemented. If you oppose judicial legislation, you should be very weary of rulemaking on substantive law by a fourth branch of government.

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.

I am happy to have worked with such a talented group of authors on and 's Decentralized Autonomous Organizations: Beyond the Hype. To unlock DAOs' value for society, we need to demystify them to policymakers.

At some point, someone is going to launch a bunch of cubesats outside the US with computers that validate for the Ethereum network. Perhaps international waters will come first.

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.

DAOs offer a superior form of collective negotiation. Consider pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). PBMs leverage large consumer bases to negotiate drug discounts. But PBMs retain the discounts. A DAO could provide the same service and return the rebate directly to its members.

17/17. A crypto ban is inconsistent w/ an American tradition of dynamism in tech, politics, & culture. Only crypto-permissive policy stands against Great Firewalls and for the ability to write, use, and organize with software as free people.

Is anyone experimenting with dynamic quorums? Quorums are arbitrary at first, but voter behavior over time can inform how to set them. Would it be better to decrease quorums with low participation and increase quorums with high participation?

The blog publishes a piece comparing DeFi to CeFi and positively highlights DeFi protocols’ transparency and non-custody. The “same activities, same risk, same rules” mantra is a fallacy. DeFi solves many legacy CeFi risks, but presents some new risks too.
