Kain Warwick: ‘The only defensible aspect of a crypto protocol is it’s monetary premium.’

kainwarwick.eth @kaiynne

The only defensible aspect of a crypto protocol is its monetary premium. Essentially every component of defensibility resolves to this. The fundamental question is, how deeply do people believe this is real? A few examples; 1/13

Simon de la Rouviere on Warner investing in Dapper Labs, pointing to artist tipping as a use case: ‘Feels like a stuck record. Trying to tip musicians online has been around since 2014 (if not earlier).’

Simon de la Rouviere @simondlr

Feels like a stuck record (re: Warner pointing to tipping as a use-case). Trying to tip musicians online have been around since 2014 (if not earlier). A faster blockchain won't solve this when you realise that 40% of Tencent Music users have bought virtual gifts.

Eric Conner: ‘I went to do a "State of the Ethereum killers" tweet but I literally can't even find information on most of them.’

Eric Conner @econoar

I went to do a "State of the Ethereum killers" tweet but I literally can't even find information on most of them. Polkadot seems they will miss EOY launch, Algorand I think has a mainnet with a couple txs, Tezos is baking stuff and Solana says they have 0 nodes.

Balaji S. Srinivasan: ‘Interest is shaping up to be the killer app for DeFi. Easy to understand, lower volatility risk due to use of stablecoins, and significantly higher than normal bank rates.’

Balaji S. Srinivasan @balajis

Interest is shaping up to be the killer app for #defi. Easy to understand, lower volatility risk due to use of stablecoins, and significantly higher than normal bank rates.

Lars Müller @lean_lars

1) so in love with #defi and the leverage possibilities - lend DAI on @compoundfinance for 9.6% APR - lend USDC on @compoundfinance for 5% APR - borrow ETH on @compoundfinance for 2.23% APR - swap 50% of your ETH for #sETH on @UniswapExchange

RhythmTrader: ‘Bitcoin is a game of musical chairs with the lights turned off. No one knows who else may be playing.’

Rhythm @Rhythmtrader

Bitcoin is a game of musical chairs with the lights turned off. No one knows who else may be playing. The goal is to grab as many seats as you can before the lights turn back on and the music stops. You might be surprised who was playing the whole time.

• Also recaps government’s opinion of Bitcoin year-by-year.

  Rhythm @Rhythmtrader

  Government on Bitcoin: 2012: 😂 2013: 😂 2014: 😂 2015: 😂 2016: 😂 2017: 😅 2018: 😂 2019: "Bitcoin is unstoppable money. Bitcoin, not shitcoins. Bitcoin is nothing but thin air. Bitcoin is a risk to the system. Bitcoin is a store of value like gold." That escalated quicky.

Anthony Pompliano: ‘Automated Finance will be much bigger and more important than Decentralized Finance.’

Pomp 🌪 @APompliano

Automated Finance will be much bigger and more important than Decentralized Finance. Every financial service will be automated in the future, but they all won't be decentralized.
