Bitcoin is having a moment. It's the ETF, it's Ordinals, it's the Halving, it's BitVM, it's @TaprootWizards and @Stacks , it's a wave of Bitcoiners who are ready to use BTC as an active asset again. Thankfully, we've built a bridge for that ☺️

tBTC is for L2s

The risk surface of DeFi is growing exponentially. This is a combo of: - Contract bugs - Poor protocol parameterization - On-chain congestion - Oracle failure - Keeper bot/LP failure Risk is amplified by contract composability and leverage. I hope everyone understands this.

These exploits are no longer in the "this space is hard" arena, they're now in the "any security scanner would've caught this" camp. Be real here, own up, and improve.

Thoughts on @THORChain 1) 2nd exploit was not new bug. It was already there 2) it was known to be unaudited. Obv a little irresponsible, but also to be expected 3) Thorchain is probably the most complex crypto thing in the world other than bleeding edge ZKP stuff Wgmi

We're about to see BitGo/Galaxy freeze a bunch of WBTC. Feels like the right time for a decentralized, censorship-resistant alternative...

WBTC is issued by BitGo. Its entities are in in South Dakota and New York. They must obey OFAC sanctions or face million dollar fines and jail time for their execs.

New episode with @mhluongo ! We discuss bringing the worlds of Bitcoin & Ethereum together, how he is a monetary maximalist, what tBTC is & the value it brings to DeFi community, & how crypto companies are prepared for working through the COVID-19 crisis.

It'd be a shame if to prove a point about censorship resistance, people were detained or hurt. Because that can't be rolled back.

Crypto is inherently political; what could be more political than money? Building on Bitcoin means building an alternative to the status quo, & threatening those in power. Come build with us at @thesis_co @fold_app @keep_project .
