Micah White, PhD @beingMicahWhite
It took me 30 days to learn solidity, the smart contract programming language used by Ethereum. I learned quickly because: a) I found a mentor who reviewed the code and offered suggestions b) I essentially stopped working on anything else -- a luxury of working for one-self.

Bitcoin's hashrate is now 8 times larger than it was during price's all-time high of $20,000 in 2017. This is resources being spent researching, developing, and deploying mining hardware at a record pace. Investment into bitcoin infrastructure is accelerating. 🔥

Long Reads Sunday #63. A week that should have been exuberant - BTC prices sustained above $10k, Bakkt begins warehousing as planned, interesting new DeFi announcements - instead seemed muted, if not downright glum. What the hell is going on?

Over the years, I heard a few academics refer to their "billionaire friend" who was into Bitcoin. I wonder how many of them were referring to Epstein. My guess, based on their connections and recent revelations: all of them.

Jesse Walden @jessewldn
I think legal wrappers for DAOs will be a distribution hack. Take @TheLAOOfficial, a for-profit fork of @MolochDAO (aka a VC fund.) As a DE C-Corp its limited to accredited investors only, but there are lots in crypto. Think it'll raise more $?

Jesse Walden @jessewldn
The Netflix DVD analogy may also resonate for on-chain orgs with legal wrappers. DAO-corp/coop hybrids before internet-only organizations (for “incomplete” products/svcs) Like browsing DVDs online, incorporating on-chain offers convenience & customization at lower cost. https://t.co/quRY99fF1J

Why are crypto airdrops still a thing? Has there been any research or evidence that giving people free tokens actually results in a non-negligible number of recipients becoming long-term adopters?
