The best things are NOT always made by the people who worked the hardest. It's the dumbest thing ever. I don't drink whatever coffee the baristas worked hardest at. I drink whatever coffee is best. ☕️

People shill me their favorite cryptos but then hand-waive away serious issues. Huge red flag! 🚩🚩🚩 If you can't even acknowledge existential problems, they'll never be fixed.

It was a pleasure to hear from Marina after a year in one of the most unique and challenging environments in crypto.

I believe crypto mass adoption is inevitable, but at least 99% of them, including both Bitcoin and Ethereum, are completely, structurally, unprepared for it.

Set out to chat with Scott about Coinbase threatening to sue the SEC, ended up throwing in a big long AI chat as well. Good stuff.

Travel services and privacy-preserving tools are some of the first industries to accept crypto. No wonder why: fiat sucks at international payments and protecting your privacy.

Thanks to AI we're about to see an explosion of creativity that was formerly held back by people's inability to execute their dreams.

Two hours from now Scott Cunningham comes back on the Digital Cash Rundown to talk Coinbase threatening to sue the SEC, Warren's crypto bill and more!

Your regular reminder that the Bitcoin Lightning Network's anyone-to-anyone transaction capacity is 0 TPS. Think about it, there's some nuance to this one.

Everything awesome either is illegal, was illegal, or they'll desperately try to make illegal.

It's been a tough and whirlwind first year coming into a Dash world in upheaval, and I'm really interested to see what Marina's perspective is.

We're living in an uncertain but magical time. You, an average person, are living like a god compared to your ancestors!

This one honestly blew my mind. We're at the "they fight you" stage, but so many innocent people could be arrested today over cash-for crypto trades 😱 Thanks Mark for sharing your story!

The crypto industry is full of speculation, scams, and straight up gambling disguised as changing the world. Cheers to those of us who are still here regardless, because we believe in changing the world! 🍻

Effective idealists are also good negotiators and businesspeople.
