I am feeling optimistic about the future of scalable, differentiated sources of yield.

Literally what I devoted 8 years of my life to, and its so frustrating to see what actually succeeds instead
No one is being honest about crypto. The entire premise of the industry has been based around “getting rich quick” for too long. Everyone knows shitcoin trading as the primary use case is deeply unserious. But exchanges, VCs, and trading influenzas are heavily incentivized to keep the casino open. Luckily there is another path, and it doesn’t require cashing in your soul. Go from value extractor to operator/builder. Learn how the plumbing works. Work on products/projects you believe in. Look beyond the crypto community online where people just play exit liquidity musical chairs. The upside is still here. But it will be a byproduct of competence. More on this topic in Tuesday's post on DeFi Education.

Early results on analyzing the liquidity of some @MorphoLabs vaults using vault liquidity % per hour (capped at 1% as above is clearly liquid). Trying to get a better resolution. Relend and Clearstar have never been illiquid. Relend was exposed to sdeUSD yet no one cared it seems and now 5M is stuck/lost. @SteakhouseFi bbqUSDC was close to 0% only during 2 data points (<1% during 6 datapoints), other vaults a bit more.

Every single DoJ trial that requires explaining crypto to an audience of normies leads to a cascade of mental breakdowns in the jury. The mere act of making a nail salon owner think about MEV or NFTs leads to physical tears and often attempts to escape

6:30 pm All rise. Judge: We have another note. We have debated with each member being open. We held another vote. We are no closer to a unanimous decision. We are under stress. Yesterday some cried. Many have not slept. This is hardship.

Curve on… @unichain Why? Because it’s the best AMM for LSTs!
Considering that there are immediate positions on @unichain @MorphoLabs markets at risk of liquidation, and considering that there is very limited liquidity on @Uniswap for wstETH > ETH, there is now a @CurveFinance pool that liquidators can use: curve.finance/dex/unichain/p… It's the good old stableswap-ng, so all you need to do is point the address to uniscan.xyz/address/0xbad024… Please amplify for liquidatoooors.

Literally we need to repeal this shitty act. It has sooo many downstream problems. Just unworkable assumptions

Perhaps this was too relaxed 😅 But any bank knew with certainty what it could send. Things had to be made complicated! With the Patriot Act et al it was. No longer was it acceptable for Frankfurt to just worry about their bit 😱 7/27 observer.com/2012/08/you-f-i…

Stablecoins are Over-The-Top Money. Let me explain. Back in the flip phones days, messaging came from your telco. “Texts” cost money, rates varied wildly, and friends gathered on a provider for cheap “internal” texts. Woe betide those who sent $7 international texts! 1/27

Oracle providers contest they offer circuit breakers if price gets too bad, but in my opinion circuit breakers are better used for cutting off legitimate market pricing. In situations of exploits the service provider shouldn't report that markets price as legitimate
feels like price bad on market functioning legitimately is distinct from price bad on market that has been exploited and holds virtually 0 funds. an oracle service provider should be able to distinguish this and avoid reporting prices from exploited markets

The whole industry lost its plot already since some VC calling "points - the greatest innovation ever". Every one doing points/pre-deposit/farms/TVL boost pre-products/TGE to max extract the imaginary valuation up pre-launch. All alts flow are fronted to these points/pre-deposit/farms instead of buying. Some VCs thought they are smart enough and solved the token distribution problem, but instead people are depositing money to get the token and sell for 10-20% yield. What long term user retention?
1) Decided to write a thread on why I hate so-called points so much. Off-chain endless pre-TGE points structure is as predatory as last cycle high val low float VC playbook. Don't get me wrong, airdrops/points have their meaning if well designed.

when we argue out of one side of our mouth "code is law" is redactedly stupid... then argue that we assume everyone will max profit limited by the code and you shouldnt insert additional law... you make that golem confused, upset, and invited
Truth is, Smart Contracts inherit a blockchains "purity" just replace "honest miner" w/ honest Market Participant if our lobbyist can't bring themselves to argue this position consistently, why should we expect physical legal institutions to believe they mean it?
