In the near future, owners can deposit native (non-wrapped) BTC into the Thorchain liquidity pool and earn yield.

Principle is protected, yield comes from trading fees in the pool (will rise and fall w/ volume)

No RUNE exposure, no KYC, no borders, no permission 😎

Where the slipping, subjective judgements of the Supreme Court have failed in protecting the Fourth Amendment, cryptography is attempting to succeed.

And are we surprised to find math more resolute than men & women in black robes?

'The right of the ppl to be secure... against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, & no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause'

Any effort by the state to spy w/o warrant on private financial transactions is a similarly willful violation of the 4th

Let's remember that Elon Musk charging $8 for premium Twitter experience means Twitter becomes the product again, instead of you.

And if $8 is too much, you're free to remain as the product.

Great insight as usual from Hester Peirce, especially on the SEC's hollow invite to 'come in and talk.' πŸ”₯

'[I]f you just see people walking in and then you see them walking out either with an enforcement action, or with nothing, people aren't going to want to come in the door.”

If regulations are so important to society, why are they drafted by junior staffers, rather than the great scholars of our times?

This video is in response to the The Atlantic article about β€œpandemic amnesty” and it’s a much watch. This man is so right on.

If there was an ETF that lost 2-8% of its value every year forever, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would probably shut it down.

But it's called the dollar, so they don't.

Good fucking point, I can't believe I missed this.

If you KYC the front end, but not the backend, every bad actor just uses the back end.

Absolute security theatre, kinda like HSBC's compliance department.

New episode w/ Erik Voorhees is a banger.

'It is funny to try to protect people from what has empirically been the greatest investment over the last decade. Why are you protecting people from that?'

Grateful we have people like Erik on our side.

1/ It was only months ago that a leader of a G7 democracy granted himself temporary dictatorial powers, retroactively made protesting against his policies illegal, froze the bank accounts of dissidents with no due process, and jailed organizers of an opposition movement.
