Liquidity pools are an underrated gem in alternative investing. They combine the best aspects of private credit with greater transparency and flexibility, but so often get overlooked! https://www.medici.ai/post/yes-liquidity-pools-can-beat-alternative-assets

It's funny to me that traditional investors and managers tend to stay clear of crypto because they worry about risk, meanwhile stable-coin liquidity pools are out here beating private credit with less default...

Financial professionals know investing in private funds is risky, but the real issue is lack of transparency and liquidity, not the assets: https://www.medici.ai/post/private-markets-aren-t-risky-by-nature-it-s-by-design-unnecessary-operational-risk-in-the-private

In light of Biden's new tax proposal, I think it's time we sit down and really come to terms with the fact that the US has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Image courtesy of the IMF - US Gov't spending as a % of GDP since 1800.

From a discussion I had this morning: Private markets must evolve as AI and blockchain drive transparency, challenging their exclusivity. Expect a shift to cost-efficient, accessible investing—just as we've seen in public markets. The future is open and democratized investing.

Yesterday, I spoke at a conference full of CDOs and CTOs from CeFi. After chatting with them, it’s clear: I’m not worried about competition from that corner. Most think the whole blockchain industry is a joke and see no real utility in it. 🙃

Had a super interesting discussion today with a guy from...wait for it...the insurance industry. Was cool to walk through the way insurance companies view blockchain. As a founder, it made me self-analyze how we view risk, and think of the ways that we can better manage it going forward.

Austin Campbell penned this great piece on Beba's current SEC challenges, showing the nonsense regulatory landscape facing blockchain technology in the USA. It's a must-read—concise, easily understood, yet very informative. https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-clarity-sec-beba-defi

To build, you must think rationally. To grow, you must think empirically. To sell, you must realize that your customers are doing neither of these things.

Just returned from a discussion on the adoption of stablecoins for US payments. IMO a significant barrier is the US consumer's affinity for credit card rewards. Will the benefits of stables to merchants encourage a shift in payment preferences?

I am seeing more of my peers move to a "own productive assets / rent everything else" model. They are forgoing buying homes and cars and instead buying real estate, stocks, crypto, and income assets. Thoughts on this trend? Anyone else seeing the same?

Highly recommend "Alchemy" by Rory Sutherland. It's a great reminder not to be blinded by rationalism at the expense of empiricism and to keep in mind that logical solutions aren't always the only or the best solutions.

Based on a VC chat I had today: Despite investor excitement over crypto, being a blockchain founder feels like stealth mode: AI still has all the spotlight, making Web3 seem like our little secret.

Was debating AI photos with a friend. How do you think AI-generated images will change our cultural world? For better or worse?
