Dear @brian_armstrong , It’s time to stop. This started back in January with a narrative that made sense — letting people earn with their own money. Respect for that. But now, enough. You’re protecting your business. Fair. But this industry is bigger than @coinbase . If this doesn’t move forward now, as Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis warned, we’re delaying everything until 2030. And you’re blocking it… over yield? Let’s be clear: If a technology needs incentives to be used, that’s not adoption. Blockchain doesn’t depend on yield. It has REAL use cases: FINANCE International payments 2) Remittances 3) Interbank settlement 4) Stablecoins 5) Collateralized loans 6) Uncollateralized loans 7) Lending / Borrowing 8) Yield farming 9) Staking 10) Derivatives (futures, options, swaps) 11) Tokenization of financial assets 12) Tokenized bonds 13) Tokenized equities 14) On-chain money markets 15) AMM 16) DEX 17) Digital custody 18) Treasury management 19) Programmable payments 20) Crowdfunding 21) ICO / IDO / STO 22) Decentralized insurance 23) On-chain reinsurance 24) Tokenized factoring 25) Trade finance 26) Liquidity as a service 27) Clearing 28) Real-time financial auditing INFRASTRUCTURE 29) CBDCs 30) National payment systems 31) RTGS 32) Financial interoperability 33) Global liquidity networks 34) Digital money issuance 35) Monetary policy 36) Programmable money 37) Automated subsidies 38) Automated taxes 39) Public treasury LEGAL / IDENTITY 40) Digital identity 41) KYC/AML 42) Digital signatures 43) Notarization 44) Property registry 45) Corporate registry 46) Legal smart contracts 47) Arbitration 48) Voting 49) DAO 50) Digital certificates 51) Licenses 52) Patents 53) Intellectual property 54) Digital evidence SUPPLY CHAIN 55) Traceability 56) Inventory management 57) Shipment tracking 58) Origin certification 59) Quality control 60) Anti-counterfeiting 61) Logistics automation 62) Trade documentation 63) Customs 64) Tokenization of goods REAL WORLD ASSETS (RWA) 65) Tokenized real estate 66) Fractional ownership 67) Automated rentals 68) Tokenized infrastructure 69) Tokenized energy 70) Tokenized commodities 71) Tokenized art 72) Collectibles 73) Usage rights 74) Automated royalties GAMING / METAVERSE 75) NFTs 76) In-game assets 77) Virtual economies 78) Play-to-earn 79) Digital gaming identity 80) Game interoperability 81) Asset ownership 82) Secondary markets CONTENT 83) Music 84) Copyright 85) Creator monetization 86) No-intermediary platforms 87) Micropayments 88) Content NFTs 89) Tokenized subscriptions DATA / TECHNOLOGY 90) Decentralized storage 91) Decentralized computing 92) Oracles 93) Data sharing 94) Data protection 95) IoT identity 96) Decentralized machine learning 97) Data monetization 98) Data integrity ENERGY 99) Smart grids 100) P2P energy 101) Renewable certificates 102) Carbon credits 103) Emissions tracking 104) Energy incentives HEALTH 105) Medical records 106) Healthcare interoperability 107) Clinical trials 108) Pharmaceutical tracking 109) Consent management 110) Medical identity EDUCATION 111) Academic certificates 112) Education records 113) Verifiable credentials 114) Educational content 115) Reputation GOVERNMENT 116) Budget transparency 117) Public spending 118) Public procurement 119) Civil registry 120) Land registry 121) Elections 122) Citizen identity MOBILITY 123) Vehicle identity 124) Maintenance records 125) Mobility insurance 126) Automated tolls 127) Fleet management 128) Autonomous vehicles RETAIL 129) Loyalty programs 130) Ecommerce payments 131) Tokenized points 132) Product authenticity 133) Retail supply chains 134) Decentralized marketplaces OTHERS 135) Philanthropy 136) Communities 137) Reputation 138) Global freelance 139) Smart labor contracts 140) Memberships 141) Crowdsourcing 142) Decentralized social networks 143) Corporate governance 144) Sports rights Yield is ONE use case.

@FoodProfessor CommieMart?

How should Toronto name its publicly-owned grocery stores?

@HudsonHMack @AirCanada @CanadianPM “Because it’s the law!” He exclaimed. What a dumb take. Competence is the only measure of value in a position like that. Pure virtue signalling on the part of anyone who’s spewing this. It’s an unimportant take from the irrelevant media

I agree the CEO of @AirCanada should be fluently bilingual. He isn’t and that should be dealt with. But this week is not the time to make an issue of it. Outside of Quebec and the Ottawa bubble this is a non-issue and it reflects badly on @CanadianPM.

@CryptoMikli “I’m not a smart man, but I know what fraud is.”

Bob Menery reveals he’s buying viewers to grow faster and get bigger deals “I buy views, absolutely. Why wouldn’t I? I just started streaming, so I buy more viewers to trick my mind into thinking I’m performing in front of a bigger audience” “When the botting timer runs out and the views drop from 3,000 to 9, I’m like, ‘Where did those 3,000 people go? Did I say something wrong?’” “Do I use botting to get bigger deals? Of course. If you’re dumb enough not to realize, that’s on you for making a bad deal”

@DeItaone That is pure insanity. If that doesn’t tell you the government doesn’t give a shit about you, nothing does.

@TrevorSheatz Who are you trying to convince friend?

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is parking. There are rules.

the part they left out: these dogs were stolen for the dog meat trade in Jilin, China. Jilin province has 50+ slaughterhouses. they escaped from a moving truck, formed a defensive formation around an injured german shepherd, and a corgi navigated them 17km home over 2 days. they were all neighborhood dogs who played together every day. they all made it back. China still has no national ban on dog meat, but Shenzhen banned it in 2020.

@BenRabidoux Real estate only goes up family members told us. Now we are seeing family members buried in their mortgages with no way out. But it was worth the 2 years of low mortgage rates right?

I’m a small business owner from BC. I saw this coming 4 years ago. My wife and I sold the week Covid shut everything down in 2020. We still haven’t bought back in. The market priced us out so we set up a suite at my mother in laws and moved in with her to ride it out. Another year and hopefully the plan pays dividends. Long way of saying, if someone like me saw this coming, how come these bankers, economists, and politicians didn’t? Ignorance or mal-intent?

A headline like this was unthinkable a few yrs ago. One thing that drives homeowner insolvency in credit cycles is when "walking away" loses social stigma. This is a notable sign post--> Why it could be the right time to walk away from your real estate financialpost.com/personal-finan…

As a European, I don’t understand how Trump and his failed administration remain in charge. I clearly don’t understand.
