My spider senses really tingling here. Something is up. China suddenly halts refined product exports. US military asks critical mineral producers for support. Trump admin facilitates a large gold order between the U.S. and Venezuela, with up to 1,000 kilograms of gold to be shipped to the U.S. And PM Carney does a huge and suddenly shift and offers strong support of Trump’s attack on Iran.

@bgurley There’s a burgeoning number of crypto projects (offering up extra GPU to rent).
Currently, there don’t seem to be advantages in price, quality, and reliability. Longer term, I suspect there are advantages to this model.
File storage is analogous where there are opportunities.

Reposting w open replies. My argument is that an active resale market requires a “surplus” not a shortage.
Bill Gurley@bgurley
I just recently found out that there is a large secondary market for cloud GPU credits. Question for the lazy web, are these prices above or below retail? I get the sense they are below. Which would imply we are clearly not “running out of compute.”

@CharlesXAdkins Who’s your customer and what problem are you solving?
As a retail investor, I already have access to actively managed funds. Why would this need to be secured on a distributed ledger?

@Cointelegraph @dapperlabs @dapperlabs - is tokenizing text-to-image Disney characters (e.g., Mickey Mouse with a backward hat playing chess with Goofy) on the platform’s roadmap?
English

feels like the end of crypto in America… the advantage of these coins was velocity & the lack of regulation
If it’s regulated & slow it’s not *that* different than the current banking system
Mission accomplished by the SEC/government: maintain control of monetary supply

As a consequence, blues and reds have partitioned at the level of both network and state.
Blues have built one party Democrat states in Washington and California. Reds are now doing the reverse in places like Texas and Florida.
The sociopolitical divergence is accelerating.
Balaji@balajis
Make America States Again? Noah asks what comes next. I think it matches his observation. Blue and red states are diverging. From each other and DC. Sanctuary cities vs e-verify. Gun laws, drug laws, abortion laws. As different as different countries. And so they may be.

@PeterZeihan Any particular Telegram channels you’d recommend?
English
Russian Telegram to this point has been the best source for info on in-progress Ukrainian military assaults. So far today, not much discussion on Kherson-related stuff. (So no big push just yet.)

This must be a tactic to estimate what % of Twitter’s users are bots, right?

If you want me to follow you back, so you can comment in my threads, simply quote retweet one of my tweets and say something intelligent or funny and I will snap follow you back. Given the MAGA brigading I'm now set to only "people you follow can reply" following +500 a day

to be honest, it's a fairly basic technique I learned in the dotcom era: trust the founder but believe the product and customers

@Jason was right all along about crypto grift, for years and years now, even when lots of folks were laughing at him for being outspoken about this. At heart, Jason, you are still the reporter you were 30 years ago.

We need less tribalism, dogma, and conventional thinking in the United States.
We need more common sense, personal responsibility, and independent thought.
Think for yourself.

Marc Andreessen argues that Americans need to focus on building better institutions.
He's absolutely right. This is the time to build.
