Really sad to see so many in the crypto world upset that @block_one_ wasn't fined *even more* by the SEC. They had $24m taken from them. Some of y'all are more like Elizabeth Warren than Satoshi Nakamoto.

Ameen Soleimani apologizes to Glen Weyl after making borderline anti semitic remarks.

Twitter avatar for @ameensolAmeen Soleimani πŸ‘Ή @ameensol
This is my apology. First, I'd like to apologize to Glen Weyl. The way I brought up his Jewish pride was irrelevant to the conversation, imprecise, and unnecessary.

Ameen Soleimani πŸ‘Ή @ameensol

2. I could have been nicer to Glen. I could have asked him to what extent the Jewish pride he demonstrates is rooted in Judaism or his Jewish heritage. It seems odd to accept, propagate, and indoctrinate your children into the religion simply because tradition demands it.

Ameen also shares some other reflections on religion.

Twitter avatar for @ameensolAmeen Soleimani πŸ‘Ή @ameensol
I'd like to share what I learned yesterday: 1. A new word - "Judaists" which refers *only* to Jews who believe in the Judaistic religion, and *not* secular Jewish people. I expect it to save me a great amount of grief in the future.

RhythmTrader also thinks investors are starting to realize quantitative easing, negative interest rates, fractional reserves, & inflation are the experiments, not bitcoin.

Twitter avatar for @RhythmtraderRhythm @Rhythmtrader
A great flippening is approaching. More investors flip everyday to realize that quanatative easing, negative interest rates, fractional reserves, the elimination of cash, mass surveillance, currency wars, and inflation are all the frightening experiments, not bitcoin.

Jesse Walden: β€˜Ethereum miners are hodling more ETH.’

Ethereum miners are hodling more ETH. Some speculation that is to preserve relevance after transition to PoS, but seems more likely they're awaiting a more optimal market to offset costs? Any other theories?
