Justin Bons with another banger. Unfortunately he doesn't seem the slight bit interested in any innovation happening in Proof-of-Work, which is the original "fraud-proof" blockchain.

The mitigation against legislation was always strong decentralization and a currency that can't be created out of thin air (Proof-of-Work). Just another reminder while all the VC's invest in Proof-of-Stake and your bags are held in limbo.

Would we care less about what the Ethereum Foundation spends it's money on if the chain was Proof-of-Work?

Super interesting dashboard on Crypto VC performance.. Some major assumptions are taken, but their fair in my opinion. That being said this is super interesting... No one seems to be winning honestly... Coinbase Ventures seem to succeed in not losing though. Definitely bookmarking and keeping my eyes on this.

Okay, here me out... Are we making good technology choices? I think not. There's a reason real open source projects still host their community on IRC. Some are finally moving to Matrix, but you'd think a crypto project might have similar values. Yet we continue to see more "freedom" technology adopt Discord and Telegram because it's better than slack how? Wake up people. You love decentralization right... right? https://www.theblock.co/post/312939/telegram-founder-and-ceo-pavel-durov-arrested-in-france-by-national-anti-fraud-office-tf1?utm_source=tldrcrypto

It's simple. Vegas has been around for decades. Polymarket has no use case beyond separating cryptopians from their cash.

For when people ask: "Why does @Polymarket need crypto?"

I'll make it easier for you. Not a single blockchain has solved the trilemma. In other words, none of them scale securely and are also relevantly decentralized. There are no single use blockchains that don't isolate themselves from their market All stablecoins are just $$ in banks.
