As much as we compare Canto to a planned economy that doesn’t allow for innovation and gives all of its revenue to corrupt officials (validators taking MEV higher in the preference stack over LPs), one has to give it credit for being the only part of Cosmos enticing net new users

In this week's Chopping Block, @tarunchitra, @rleshner, @tomhschmidt and I:
* Dunk on $CANTO 
(specifically protocol-enshrined DeFi and CSR)
* Laugh at the fight over Bitcoin NFTs 
* Relay LayerZero drama 
This one gets spicy.

The prevailing consensus since ‘22 bubble burst is that the next mainstream adoption will be from gamers & social apps, rather than retail investors, hence the reluctance to back DeFi.
But, as we continue to see it’s financialization of everything that’s proven to be crypto PMF

DeFi going cold is a direct reaction to the “new found risks” the conventional wisdom discovered in the crash, but it can’t be overstated how much DeFi actually proved its worth in the downturn & been one of the more adaptable apps for tradfi in enterprise.
Quote Tweet
Only 74 DeFi projects raised money in the second half of 2022.
To put it in context - there are 300+ VCs active in web3.

Last bear market we saw DeFi emerge on the back of collateralized Eth ICO companies raised.
The question is if collateralized NFTs would follow the same trajectory or become a new vertical for bad debt/valuation manipulation.
Bullish but haven’t seen a design that can absorb risk
Quote Tweet
Collateralized #NFT lending protocols like @NFTfi are heating up.
The number of loans facilitated by the #p2p system nearly doubled in January in a sign of resilience for the overall NFT space.
However, competitors @BendDAO and @the_x2y2 are gaining market share.Show this thread

This is a game changer for a lot of existing infra & protocols that rely on GETH.
There’s a lot of issues with indexing & a whole lot of companies working on it, but the move even to a tier system essentially means new intermediary designs like Erigon are needed

Great review of the Celsius creditor report for those too lazy to read the whole thing.
TLDR :
* the entire company was in the red even during peak crypto bubble cuz they spent so much to pump CEL
* the employees knew it was a fraud the entire time

The metaphor I used in ‘18 to describe these designs is PDF compared to Word documents. I.e. we’re emulating the same structures at a higher cost just because it’s crypto for the goal of bringing more liquidity to crypto markets like stablecoin inflows for collateral

Everyone who dissed security tokens rushing to pump Real World assets in crypto as the next big thing.
Truth is “asset backed tokens” are one of the crypto primitives the regulators have a framework for, however most RWA designs are still “tokenized” with the same intermediaries

רבים מאיתנו בטוחים שהרפורמה המשפטית קריטית, שנדרש תיקון ענק למערכת המשפט, שהיא לקחה כוח רב מדי.
רבים בטוחים שהרפורמה מרחיקת לכת, שהיא מפרה איזונים בין הרשויות, שהיא חוצה קוים אדומים ושיש סכנה אמיתית לדמוקרטיה בישראל.

Nothing scares Bibi more than the international financial community.
How spooked is he? He put together a meeting with French millionaires to signal new foreign money is still interested in investing in Israel, but that’s just a spin of how open his government is to kleptocracy

Bank PR for crypto.
Reminder: till crypto was cool, most banks did security token POCs on private chains, private Ethereum or other implementations.

The actual hit on Feta ads’ is hiding in plain sight as Apple & a weak economy hit demand
Quote Tweet
I mean, they said advertising impressions were up 23% but prices were down 22%. Correct me if I’m wrong but that appears to be jamming more ads into experiences while massive decline in demand/price due to less surveillance capabilities thanks to privacy laws/tech. Bad. /3

The ECB splitting from the Fed & BOE is a signal they’re just not ready yet to take the foot off the pedal till it’s clear inflation is here to stay.
But more than that, interest in EU is still not higher than ‘08 levels at 2.5%.
They have a larger buffer than others

People don’t understand the risks of liquid staking before the costs of throw risks get socialized.
U can’t stop it…just mitigate the pain
Quote Tweet
Liquid staking is like cocaine - cant stop ppl from doing coke, but can mitigate damage widespread use might do to society. Requires healthy engagement. Make it illegal or try to suppress, you will get crack (CEX liquid staking) proliferating in vulnerable communities (retail)

I’m curious if NK/Lazarus is about to leverage the enthusiasm for liquid staking diversity by re-proving they actually do their research better than some crypto investors.
