Saying there’s no reason to own Bitcoin because AI can hack a crypto app is like saying there’s no reason to speak English because AI can hack a messaging app.

I am not a houseguest I’m a paying customer. You need to compete with hotels or I’m not staying at your stupid fucking Airbnb. I’m not stripping YOUR BEDS
its just bonkers the new policy @airbnb is trying to put in place. Putting the dishes in the dishwasher, taking out the trash, pulling the sheets off the bed....they are just standard things any normal person would do when staying at a house. Why wouldn't a host be allowed to say that?

So you want to “tax the rich”, do ya?
The LA “Mansion Tax” in its first 3 years has resulted in:
* a revenue DECREASE of $452 million
* 9100 new home constructions blocked (1000 of which were “affordable housing”)
* 16,650 full time construction jobs lost

Little known fact:
BTC has NEVER been beaten by stocks over a 4 year investment duration. Even if you bought the top.
In fact, at 42% CAGR, BTC beats the undisputed champion of hedge funds, Renaissance Technologies, who delivered 39% to their investors.

THORChain's nodes are getting ready for the $ZEC integration.
Every THORChain node runs its own Zcash full node. They can now start scanning the @Zcash blockchain, ahead of the next churn, and report what they see to the network.
Scanning comes first to make sure each node is ready. Once the scanners are healthy, $ZEC can be switched on at churn.

The community notes 🫣
House Republicans passed over 70 bills this week alone — that adds to our total of over 900 bills passed through the House so far this Congress.
We’ve DELIVERED for Americans by:
🇺🇸 Enacting the largest middle and working class tax cut in US history
🇺🇸 Creating new incentives to build and hire American
🇺🇸 Adding the biggest boost to job creation in decades
🇺🇸 Establishing Trump accounts for every American child
🇺🇸 Restoring safety and order to our cities
🇺🇸 Stopping American deaths from the scourge of fentanyl
🇺🇸Closing the border
By contrast, the Democrat agenda is very simple: grievance politics, bigger government, higher taxes, open borders, and zero security.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 119th congress was the least productive in history, no congress has enacted less legislation or laws. Johnson has cancelled a total 63 scheduled voting days in the house, granting members an extra 2 months PTO, with no house votes scheduled until after the election.

The CLARITY Act didn't advance in the Senate today, which was a disappointment. While it's possible bi-partisan conversations continue and it lives to fight another day, we can't wait on Congress anymore.
The SEC and CFTC have the tools they need to create clear rules under existing authority, and I expect will begin working on this in earnest.
So clarity is coming to crypto regardless.
And of course GENIUS is already the law of the land for stablecoins, which is even more permissive on rewards. There were some concessions we made on CLARITY that were tough to swallow, so perhaps it's for the best.
Crypto can't be uninvented. With clarity emerging through the regulators, we'll continue updating the financial system.
