Chris Lane

1/ Operation Choke Point 2.0 has entered the mainstream discussion and as the former CTO of Silvergate, I want to provide my personal view First, the Silvergate SEN network was a core piece of infrastructure in the cryptocurrency economy As someone who was there when it launched, I can't express how watching its influence disappear overnight impacted my family and myself My father, Alan Lane was the CEO of Silvergate. It was sometime in early 2023 that I realized Silvergate, the business I poured my life into for 13 years was going to die

🇺🇸 NEXT FED CHAIR KEVIN WARSH JUST DISCLOSED THAT HE IS INVESTED IN BITCOIN LIGHTNING PLATFORM 'FLASHNET' 👀 HE KNOWS WHAT'S COMING‼️

Hal Finney predicted Bitcoin banks in 2010. Next week, we get another step closer.

BTC Aaron has passed away. He's survived by his wife and three children. Please join me in praying for him and his family. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen

Bitcoiners have only two moods:

BILLIONAIRE COINBASE CEO ABSOLUTELY SCHOOLS CENTRAL BANKER ON #BITCOIN "BTC IS DECENTRALIZED. THERE IS NO ISSUER" "THERE IS NO ONE WHO CONTROLS IT" RIP GLOBAL ELITES 🔥

This is insane. A New York City police officer conducted a drug bust on a known criminal. The criminal tried to flee the scene on a scooter, so the officer deployed a non-lethal weapon (threw a cooler at him) in an honest attempt to stop the suspect. The suspect died, which is unfortunate, but now the officer has been sentenced to 3-9 years in prison. That alone would be ridiculous. The judge took it a step further and explicitly said the aggressive sentence was meant to be a deterrent to other police officers. For what? For stopping criminals from committing crimes? The hardworking men and women of the NYPD deserve better than this. They risk their lives every day to protect innocent citizens from drugs and violent criminals. Activist judges who abuse their position of power over politics should be removed from office as well.

@aubreystrobel Yeah, Bitcoin was better with zero conf

“We paid the toll.” “We’ll let you through once it’s confirmed.” “…we’ve been drifting for 3 hours, the fee was too low and we’re stuck in the mempool.”

Tuesday April 14, I'm presenting a free webinar in partnership with @BankDirector Details and registration link: galoy.io/events/bank-di…

@_Checkmatey_ @nic_carter @Werkman biggest takeaway from 2017 was that Bitcoin was ossified I’ll believe we can reach stronger consensus on implementing a quantum enhancement than we did on a 1MB block size increase (pre–fee market)… when I see it. hopefully @gavinandresen is still around - gonna take a village

@_Checkmatey_ @nic_carter @Werkman I believe @_Checkmatey_ help my unbelief

The Morgan Stanley sales force is about to mobilize around their new Bitcoin ETF. For reference, Morgan Stanley has one of the largest advisor networks with ~15,000 advisors.

@jameswester loved this question in the paper: “who provides the ultimate settlement asset?”

I read the IMF paper on tokenized finance over the weekend. (see link.) This is a doozy: "Financial sector policy frameworks have evolved around institutions, balance sheets, and markets that operate with TEMPORAL FRICTIONS." [emphasis mine] imf.org/-/media/files/… 1/

Alright, I’ll open the can of worms. If you land on the other side of the wall with the ball in your glove, it should be a homer.

🇺🇸 Michael Saylor says all major U.S. banks have contacted him for Bitcoin advice 👀

🇺🇸 Elon Musk said, “Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.”

@NickDarlington take their jobs?

How do we get people who are hoarding Bitcoin to also spend it?

🚨 RET. GEN. FRANK MCKENZIE JUST DROPPED AN ABSOLUTE BANGER “It takes a year to build an aircraft, but it takes 200 YEARS to build a military tradition where you DON’T LEAVE ANYBODY BEHIND” That’s exactly why our warriors pulled off the impossible!
