Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the chain bloat.

FTX once enjoyed a near-mythical status in the media, with splashy cover stories and news articles lauding the crypto powerhouse. Such coverage rarely emerges organically, and

hired an army of public relations firms to burnish its image.

This was really good, though I'm still undecided on the issue. Interested to hear others' thoughts. There were some bits I would have preferred Stephan to push back on a bit more tbh, such as the "security budget" stuff.

This is reversed from how people treat stablecoin transfers. In that case, it's "any chain will do" and people use tron trc-20 cos its cheap etc.

An interesting corollary of the 'inscriptions taking up bitcoin blockspace' debate: If inscription people specifically want the artefact in the chain (rather than a link), then it implies bitcoin blockspace is highly treasured.

Lockdowns, no matter how long, strict, or early, are simply Chinese totalitarianism. They have absolutely no place in the policy repertoire of the free world. It’s an unforgivable crime that they were ever implemented, and it must never happen again.

This is just rough math. The point? It gets expensive fast for ANY ordinal. They will price *themselves* out of the blockchain. There will be no "1 of 1,000" , giveaways, or other bullshit we saw on Ethereum. If someone wants to be dumb, let them. There won't be many of them.

FTX left a scar on the Gulf. I’m meeting a lot of folks who lost a lot— many investors trusted FTX leadership and were burned so badly they now distrust the industry and even Bitcoin. FTX has caused assets to be mispriced. This is a painful learning experience and an opportunity.
