I do tech deals at a large law firm. Tweets ≠ legal advice. All opinions are my own.

@JosephPolitano @mattyglesias This is a signal that free trade isn't the goal. The goal is *something else*. Whether that's restructuring our national debt or organizing a collective trading bloc what will act against China together, who knows. Both seem unlikely to succeed.

@mattyglesias This argument infuriates me given how countries like Switzerland, which famously have basically zero trade barriers but were hit with tons of tariffs, are supposed to “cave”

@rajgokal Congresspeople are elected by and supposed to represent their constituents. Not whoever can buy their vote. But 100% agree we should have the ability to have soulbound tokens allowing more direct feedback on issues.

how long before someone in congress uses a meme coin to finance their campaign, and allows token holders to participate in on-chain governance to shape their platform and voting behavior?

the @coinbase smart wallet is the most important new product since @base and the most consequential consumer wallet launched in the last 5 years. it's the last piece to bring billions of people onchain — because it "just works." see for yourself smart-wallet.xyz

@MikeIppolito_ How many of the 100,000 are actually planning to use the phone as their daily driver vs. buying it as a ticket to future airdrops? Might affect the decision on whether to invest resources.

Once upon a time, I thought patent lawyers were masters of the art of needlessly complicating a handful of basic ideas through argot and inside references. Then I met some securities lawyers.

@dcinvestor We should be loudly and firmly against social intervention prior to any event needing social intervention. After the event has occurred, we will end up being more utilitarian.

i'd be most likely to consider social intervention in the event of 1) a catastrophic spec failure which affected all clients at once, 2) a bug in the staking contract, or 3) to slash openly hostile stake against pretty much all other social intervention agree or disagree?

Ok, having gone through the Ripple decision, here’s my takeaway: Big loss for the SEC’s approach to crypto via focusing solely on enforcement, and this measurably increases the odds of crypto legislation passing this year. Thread storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@financeguy74 @Leerzeit He means if you raised money from others to buy tickets and promised that, through your efforts, you could resell them for 10x, then the investment contract between you and your investors is a security. Analogy doesn't work because the tickets themselves were never securities.

@Leerzeit So if you buy something with the intent of reselling, it's a security? That's 100% of all commerce in the world.

A lot of talk over whether SVB "should" get a "bailout," but it's worth outlining that it might not be able to without legislation. Crisis-fighters' authorities were curtailed following 2008. The Fed and Treasury almost certainly can't rescue SVB now. Maybeeee the FDIC... [1/x]

as much as I rag on biglaw, this wasn't my experience, but I think it was because I started working a year after the Lehman collapse and firms were so understaffed they had to give you lots of stuff way above your paygrade
wassieloyer@wassielawyer

@Drew_Morris Ah yes the classic junior associate experience. 1. Circulate dial-in 2. Dial on 3. Accept people into call 4. Pray seniors come on to respond to any small talk 5. Stay on mute throughout the call 6. Say 'Thank you!' if you are feeling brave at the end 4. Record 2.0 hours billed

1/ On what to expect from the SEC: Despite all the fears & predictions of a "regulatory crackdown" on crypto in the US, & despite historically bad market conditions (to put it lightly), we saw no major gov't actions in H1 2022. I feel good about this. H2 2022 may be different.

@ohaiom This is the advice I've always given. Also, if you happen to be graduating during a recession, being top 5% in the next tier of schools is no guarantee of a biglaw salary so counting solely on your abilities is a gamble. 2010 graduates can attest.

As much as I hate to say it, Christina is right. You should only go into big debt for LS if (1) you *know* you want to do corp BigLaw for at least a few years, and (2) you’ve been accepted to a T14(ish) so your chances of getting that BigLaw job are reasonably good.

Just completed the soul-crushing exercise of charting what my net worth would have been at this age had I not gone to law school. Until this student loan crisis is fixed, I can’t recommend in good conscience that anyone go to law school if they’re financing it with student loans.

@collins_belton @chankleoncrypto @bramanathan Transactional lawyers learn best from precedents so I completely agree with this approach. There are plenty of regulatory lawyers at every firm that try to stay up to speed but there are very few transactional lawyers familiar with first principles for crypto-related contracts.

@chankleoncrypto @bramanathan So, for instance, this 1st batch is really focused on helping them get caught up on market std practices, fundraising structures, jurisdictional & tax considerations, & std templates/negotiation points at term sheet. Once more are caught up I think we’ll see more content mills

@jchervinsky Interesting! Usually it's the law firms giving the presentations so they can flex their expertise but, in a space like crypto, I think presentations from folks dedicated full-time are much more informative. Let me know if you're interested in taking your show on the road!

I'm giving a presentation on DeFi to a law firm this afternoon, using a slide deck I made a few months ago. I'm going over it now, & it's already out of date. That's how fast this space is moving. 🤯 No wonder most people who don't do crypto full-time are struggling to keep up.
