#Bitcoin is too small for it's purpose. A global hedge asset cant only be $360bn - if it is digital gold, needs to be much bigger. Given fixed supply, price is the only path to make that happen. As consensus builds around the digital gold thesis price is reflecting this reality

If you dont have a brain-farming strategy you ngmi! This is the perfect introduction to @altstatemachine - nice work @Shaughnessy119 and the ASM crew. ASM is one of the most novel/innovative projects out there - potential to add whole new dimensions to the nft/gaming space

GBTC "closing down/winding up" a good example Why would this happen? It seems non-sensical, what am i missing? They make $100m+++ from it EVERY YEAR in fees, why would they "wind it up"? They dont like money anymore?

CT rumours definitely getting more ridiculous - can understand why but heading towards the absurd now Admittedly the event that started this all was close to absurd on its own

Looking back over last four years key thing imo is to get the top-down stuff right - where is the "concept to adoption" growth going to be. Bitcoin in 19, defi in 20, alt l1s in 21...22? That's where we spend most of our ๐Ÿง  power. Trying not to get stuck in middle of the curve

NZ's South Island is awe inspiring - must be about my 10th visit, 10th time it surprised me all over again. Market conditions willing, it's prime crypto bunker territory.

Congrats @SimonAHarman and the @Chainflip team! In 2018 it took an intro from a friend in SF for me to meet a young guy only a short hop away in Melbourne with a very non-consensus idea to fork Monero to build a privacy-focused PoS network. When he had the idea for Chainflip in

A wise man said to me tonight "crypto is like Romeo & Juliet, you think it's a romance novel, it's actually a tragedy" He is overthinking it - its a straight-up, uncensored slasher movie

We starting to look too conservative on ETF flows - glad we were wrong. These numbers getting pretty insane. Boomers seem very focused on buying a lot of coins through Larry. Easy to underestimate the inertia of investors to move outside of the existing

Sad market times we are in. Have been around markets my whole career. Got drawn to the purity of the supply/demand dynamics. That feels broken. Banning shorts in GFC was first act to shake my faith - and its been one-way traffic since. Commodity shorts getting protection...wtf?

Key next step as crypto enters it's equivalent of the "dial-up to broadband" phase is to scale into mobile. Time to grow from a well supported, yet still somewhat niche and tech-savvy user base to mass market, ease-of-use/utility-generator. Great to see and will be a lot more
