2) Compliance: no blacklist, unregistered fund. This will be solved, but may not be permissionless for long. Overall I am excited tho, Ethena is building something that is actually useful!

My concerns: 1) if Ethena scales (which it will) can negative funding rates lead to redemptions which put sale pressure on eth, leading to even more negative funding rates. Would this create a large downwards candle that can create losses? Idk, but seems like all models do not account for Ethena itself.

@dwr.eth - from MOZ comment The reason the French don't collect ethnic or other similar data is a sequel of the prosecution of minorities (including Jews) during WWII. They believe collecting it makes it available for a bad actor and reviving that story.

The reason USDT is growing is stablecoin PMF in EM continues to grow, while DeFi activity is lowering due to interest rates. The network effects materialize in diff use cases.

Things that are normal in Arg: - Send crypto (USDT) and get ARS delivered cash - Hold crypto and transform the exact amount when paying to a merchant via credit card, at a very favourable rate - Save in USDC/BTC/ETH - Remittances in crypto (think 60 year olds doing this)

Zcash, Monero (soon Aztec) are a red flag🚩🚩🚩for AML (because of the privacy) That's why Coinbase and other CEXs don't connect with them Tools like Chainalysys and TRMLabs will flag links to those every time

IDK why the US would do this. The main use case for crypto is exporting the US financial system. First: stablecoins Now: bonds and stocks Seems like a massive missed opportunity

Have them go to a poor country to build a school. Live with the families they are helping. Build real stuff, see people with real problems, appreciate much more.
