Classic @byrongilliam : Digital gold has been a great meme, but it’s perhaps limiting — the market for analog gold is only worth $24 trillion and that is only 18x bitcoin’s market cap. The upside of becoming one of Murad’s (Mahmudov) neo-religions is much greater. https://mail.blockworks.com/p/thursday-differentiated-mailbag?_bhlid=a3dd7e6ef5dd2c9a0ded36a8d85a6ae21323f473&utm_campaign=thursday-differentiated-mailbag&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=mail.blockworks.com

what's the counterargument to the idea that stablecoins should (and probably will) be forced to KYC all holders? https://jpkoning.blogspot.com/2024/08/stablecoins-digital-version-of-swiss.html

Another gem by @byrongilliam http://tinyurl.com/2s97df6e Stocks and bonds are the low-hanging fruit for blockchains. The path to disruption of commerce and ownership more generally is harder to discern, but it is surely coming. As the Bard of Blockworks himself says: "we should be thinking much bigger"

@byrongilliam makes a strong case for cutting out the talent-less (like - cough - me) country club set (never!) from the IPO process. https://mail.blockworks.com/p/thursday-many-parts-mailbag?utm_source=mail.blockworks.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=thursday-many-parts-mailbag Will anyone besides Gary engage?
