I noticed Prometheum still puts out content They expectedly completely dropped their Gensler honeypot psyop and now praise “regulatory clarity” and “modernization” from current SEC lol Apparently just pretending they whole thing never happened And meanwhile suing people with <1k Twitter followers for calling them scammers. Pure scum https://x.com/coindesk/status/1951330959233589712?s=46

Thoughts on Canton since its been discussed on the pod I'm an investor and I run a validator node. Mainly invested because Don Wilson is behind it. The business case is at least ... legible ... but I also have some doubts The tech is the most overengineered thing I have ever seen. The infra cost is high and the tech stack is convoluted. Documentation for these things is always poor for all projects but there were a ton of undocumented fixes that required their devs to help My most cracked dev who never stumbled on any technical problems got burned out getting this to work and had to take a few days off once it was running. The company Digital Asset tried to bill us for customer support because our dev was asking questions about how to build on their open source software I'm not convinced the cost and complexity has a tradeoff of actual value, I just think they built something crazy. I also question the Canton token value accrual. But if they can onboard institutions there'll be something valuable there

"The accounting issues related to stealing old Bitcoin remaining outstanding" 😂 Regarding Matt's question "wouldn't [someone with a secret quantum computer] attack other systems first?" I used to think they would obviously go after some bigger fish than Bitcoin but now I think Bitcoin is the most attractive target Would you rather make millions/billions of dollars taking most likely lost or known-to-be lost coins (which you can possibly justify to yourself and/or the public as a victimless crime, if even a crime) or risk jail forever by committing fraud on the NYSE or eavesdropping on the President? I am not aware of a use for a secret quantum computer that isn't morally and legally fraught and the risk/reward of taking dead people's Bitcoin is pretty good compared to the alternatives

Kind of insane this isn’t being talked about anywhere on here. Basically the story is: >Silvergate is intentionally killed by OCP2.0 (pressure from the Fed making it impossible to do business with legit crypto companies) >Silvergate panic triggers run on Silicon Valley Bank >SVB was then killed by Elizabeth Warren (via Gruenberg at FDIC) despite having several valid offers that could save it >Political pressure rises to save SVB, but it’s not systemic. Signature bank is intentionally sent into receivership to trigger systemic status https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IikHw4kXhtCc0qCoOBPO8?si=Aj0TD7LkSSWITBVrtgBXCA&context=spotify%3Acollection%3Apodcasts%3Aepisodes

Good conversation with @awakesolution on bridging onchain TradTech "www." domain ownership to crypto. This is a big /ethereum opportunity. Perhaps @ensdomains can help create this bridge too. https://play.pocketcasts.com/podcasts/dddfe700-c157-0137-b70d-0acc26574db2/bca3b3f0-e6b1-4838-ab9c-a51fe55cc95d
