Crazy thought of the day: What if Gensler was actually GOOD for crypto? He certainly seemed like a villain, but: - He refused to make clear rules that could have sent the industry irreversibly down a bad path, and instead just made things frustrating and slowed the industry’s growth for 4 years - He pursued scattered enforcement actions on specious legal theories that were repeatedly struck down in court, laying the groundwork for meaningful reform in securities law and market regulation - Without him, we wouldn’t have seen the industry rally as a potent political force, Selkis wouldn’t have gone Super Saiyan, and Trump wouldn’t have fully embraced crypto as a campaign strategy, leading to the most ungodly bullish setup the industry has ever seen Maybe Gensler was our Severus Snape?

Frankly, I'm surprised MIT didn't find more backdoor ways to work around the Supreme Court ruling and effectively keep affirmative action in place I'll be very interested to see whether other elite universities show similar results with this year's incoming class

9 times out of 10, the founder being a jerk to their competitors in public is insecure and knows they’re getting their ass kicked Pointing out where your product is better is fair game, but it’s pretty obvious to most observers when legit competition crosses into sour grapes

Assume a faulty block was proven via an optimistic rollup’s fault proof system. What happens for all the other users that then take actions based on an invalid state? Does the chain just get reset to the block prior to the invalid tx?

Tradfi got T+1 settlement? It’s not single-slot finality, but not bad! Wait, we’re not counting blocks? T+1 minutes? No? T+1 hours? Still no? T+1 days?! Yeah, clearly no use cases for blockchains…

A potential solution to the low float / high FDV problem: Let vesting/locked tokens be deposited as the quote (borrowable) asset in a lending market This would effectively increase the float via short interest, enabling price discovery, without allowing insiders to sell sooner Thoughts?
