Crypto people look at stablecoins and ask, “What risk? They are fully backed!” while tradfi people don’t think crypto rails are meaningfully different than permissioned ones. We dive into these misconceptions in our paper from the MIT DCI media.mit.edu/projects/the-h…

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Messari and handed the reins to Diran. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one for the company’s next phase, and he has my full support. It’s also a difficult day for the team as we say goodbye to many people who helped build Messari. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. It’s been the privilege of a lifetime to work with such an extraordinary group of people over the last eight years. I’ll continue supporting the team as an advisor and am rooting for what comes next.
Diran Li@diran_li

Today I’m stepping into the CEO role at Messari. After conversations with Eric and the board, we agreed this is the right step for the company’s next chapter. This transition also includes a difficult decision: we’ve parted ways with many teammates who helped build Messari into what it is today. I’m incredibly grateful for their work and the impact they’ve had on the company. They’re an exceptionally talented group, and I’m eager to help connect them with teams that are hiring. Looking ahead, we’re doubling down on Messari as an AI-first company serving institutions through research and AI products. The industry and the world are changing quickly, but our mission remains the same: helping customers navigate crypto with confidence.

Got tired of using bcrelay and related broadcast relay userland daemons to make things play nicely across subnets so I wrote a more modern and versatile implementation github.com/anders94/bcr

@brian_armstrong @CoinbaseDuck @coinbase Just make a thing that sends a check to whomever you specify. For those that can take a bank wire or ACH, do that. But, 100% coverage via checks in the mail and nobody has a reason not to switch.

Paycheck day means more deposit onto @coinbase Coinbase is my bank 💙 Once Coinbase sorts out the bill payment stuff, I will say goodbye to BOA forever.

"The fact that our internet is still run on advertising is kind of nuts. We think it can be run on money, on real value, as long as you make it fast and cheap enough." @RkBench, Founder at @radiustech_xyz "We're charging a hundredth of a penny. We know we can go lower." Radius launched mainnet today! Full interview with Robert drops tomorrow on Stableminded.

@anders94 Thank you. Do you have a demo that explain visually those layers like the ones you provided on blockchain?

@SteveJuniorJea3 Hi Steve - too much to go into in a tweet but on the layers, Coinebase’s Base is an L2, Ethereum is an L1 and people that run Ethereum are the L0.

@anders94 Good afternoon profesor Anders. I have finally understood the concept of blockchain yesterday watching your demos on YouTube. I have two more things that I need your help to understand: cryptocurrency, I do not see what it is. And the layer 0, 1, 2, 3. Thanks.

@DavidBeckworth Right. Not all stables are the same the way GSIB commercial bank money might be. Circle’s cross chain transfer protocol (CCTP) but across major stables could create something similar though.

Interesting paper on the plumbing of stablecoins. A big takeaway for me is the importance of interoperability on two dimensions: (1) stablecoins with tradfi system and (2) stablecoins among themselves. Skinny Fed master accounts largely solves (1), but (2) remains a vexing issue. @DanAwrey @faryarshirzad @austincampbell

Circa 2017, banks were saying, “blockchain, not Bitcoin” as they rolled out myriad short-lived R&D projects that stripped out the decentralization. Now, the banks have embraced public permissionless Ethereum while all the crypto firms are launching their own centralized L1s. ???

🧵1/ Even if stablecoins have 1:1 backing with high-quality, liquid assets, that doesn’t mean they are completely insulated from risk. The latest paper from the MIT DCI shows other risks stablecoins may be exposed to
