Cattle is different than grain. NFTs are different than Stablecoins. CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets just makes sense - they are practiced in dealing with a diversity of commodities. Agriculture (crops & meat), energy, metals - as different as CBDCs & governance tokens.

Massive unconquered opportunity! Right solution will bridge sophisticated content (i.e., standard forms/language as a starting point) with software (thinking of a structured environment where parties can draft, customize, and negotiate).

"The Agenda continues to shun issues at the core of our mission in favor of shiny objects outside our jurisdiction." A scathing but thoughtful & appropriate statement from @HesterPeirce. The emperor isn't wearing any clothes! sec.gov/news/statement/peirc…

BIG NEWS: The Southern District of New York held that an NFT CAN INFRINGE on the trademark of a commercial good. See Hermes v. Rothschild, No. 22-cv-384 (S.D.N.Y. May 18, 2022), Dkt. 50.

HOT OR NOT?? 🔥 I made a quick @airtable script that uses @OpenAI API to summarise any text entered in the first field and adds the "tl;dr" to another field. And it works like a charm!! There are like TONS of #nlp #ml #automation things to be done with the same logic...

I once heard that many recent successful startups were optimized versions of an unbundled craigslist (cars, apartments, specialized products); a great way to think about newco ideas

Personally love the idea of everyone maintaining a portfolio of their interests & abilities

That portfolio might take the form of: • An email newsletter • Coding a small project or tool • Creation of a Dune Analytics dashboard • Launching an NFT project • A Twitter/Medium/LinkedIn presence • Getting experience with a DAO (Substack by @TheHeathen22)

A friend of mine made a huge career shift to join a growth-stage co only to be laid off three months later. Props to this job announcement.

Today, DoNotPay is hiring one analytical and driven person to join the growth team. We are profitable, have never laid anyone off since the company started 7 years ago and are growing organically and fast. We take our commitments to employee stability seriously. (1/n)

scream, my friend. believe me, my face is chapped and voice hoarse. Glad to the see voices growing in number and volume.

I'm in the mood to scream into the wind some more: SAFEs are equity rounds will full ratchet anti-dilution. No startup lawyer would let you accept these equity terms, yet we do it with SAFEs all day long, because it doesn't matter when the next round is up... until now.

Something I hope comes from the inevitable regulation is the end of “not financial/legal advice/views my own” etc. Lots of people relied on lots of people in putting $ in various projects; regulate that influence or don’t but let’s stop pretending these words make a difference

Bear markets remove fluff and put the focus on objective performance metrics. Less "soft factors" = more equitable playing field = historically overlooked founders' time to shine

Algo stablecoins!! Also, crypto twitter is wise.

I don't know who needs to hear this but it's generally a bad idea to put people in charge of regulating things they don't understand 1/100th as well as twitter anons

Agree but we need to get the correct incentive structures in place first where we’re not getting paid for the paperwork

A big use case for crypto is the removal of paperwork. This is probably the #1 hang up for deals getting done quickly. I’m convinced the biggest winners of both VC funds and startups are the lawyers.

An $18 billion stablecoin is losing its dollar peg with all the magical chaos of algorithmic stables, with a dash of Bitcoin systemic risk drama. Here's everything you need to know. The $UST Depeg Thread: 👇

Lots of interesting issues but specifically the class ones…how can these pltffs rep the class when they’d also be defs under the GP theory? Wouldn’t it just become an issue of which individual DAO members they’d try to collect from ie by definition no one could be class rep?

0/ Many successful heists in DeFi and Web3 have nothing to do with bugs in the code. If you want to be safe, you need to understand all the ways in which a protocol can be attacked. 🧵Here are 9 attack patterns in DeFi that everyone should know

By default, DAOs are partnerships: K-1s to members, & everyone (incl foreigners) may owe US taxes currently, even if no distros. If > 100 members, possibly corporate tax instead. Both are unadministrable. Pricey tax lawyers concoct other structures. We need a better way.
