What are you interested in next outside of crypto?

P.S. I respect and appreciate how you’re leaving this.

Paraphrasing @vitalik.eth just now at TOKEN2049 Singapore:

Transaction fees have historically been the roadblock to actual crypto adoption, ahead of UX. The cost of transactions killed off the early and earnest efforts to use either BTC or ETH for day-to-day payments. In places like Argentina, people use crypto but have moved to doing Binance-to-Binance transfers, which are free but also centralized and custodial, which defeats the purpose. However, L2s now offer sub-cent transactions, opening up a new era for payments.

Wallet UX is also getting better (e.g., Daimo) but TradFi payment rails have kept up with usability improvements of their own (Venmo, SEPA, etc.). Crypto can bypass the int’l politics that are the main limiting factor in cross-border TradFi payments.

Crypto is ultimately digital concrete — blockchains are robust, permanent structures. With digital concrete, we can build digital castles in the sky.

[Personal note: I love the fresh idea of ETH as digital concrete rather than digital oil]

a big problem in governance is in trying to get a sincere signal of preference — do people actually want this thing? should we permission its existence?

capitalism has a brilliant (if myopic) solution: you express your preferences by giving up assets you could have spent on *anything else* now or some other day

I had a strong philosophical difference of views about what should be done in the direction of crypto's future, which is what lead me to leave Coinbase. But I will say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Coinbase is being put through absolute FUD nonsense with this, and it's so obvious the origin of this attack is coming from one of the least trustworthy people in this industry.

Would you rather trust your wrapped BTC with:
1. An audited public company with extremely rigid security controls and compliance teams (cbBTC), or
2. Justin Sun holding enough keys to a multisig to control it at any time (wBTC)

And if your answer is genuinely 2, dear god why?
