Found myself having to use archive.is links or go around paywalls a bunch - which is annoying considering the number of links there are, so decided to make this

Did they migrate away to a more server heavy model?
There could be a similar arrangement where US pairs don’t appear on the intentional exchange and vice versa, even if they use the same infra

Maybe they are just better with b2b SaaS and other verticals, with crypto being exceptionally bad.

If we take a step back and look at the key takeaway from the audit report is that amount of commercial paper was reduced and amount of T-bills (essentially cash) was increased by 5 bil. Good news if you think solvency is an issue, but of course they're all scoundrels eh?/s
Tether might have done shady things in the past as the article, but the scale to which Tether operates now (10s of bllns), in addition to scrutiny from SDNY, external audit, etc mean that Tether from before is much different from the Tether now, and it has pulled off the made it portion of "fake it till you make it".
SocGen, the 3rd oldest French bank recently put up a loan request on the Maker forums for 20 mil backed by bonds iirc.
exciting times!
Breaches still occasionally happen, but you're more likely to see data breaches from these data broker companies because they didn't secure their elasticsearch DBs or something dumb like that.
I'm working on a simulator platform that leverages dapps built on Ethereum on a testnet to teach various financial concepts, and then abstracting away the complicated defi/blockchain gibberish to better reflect the real world.
Yield farming -> high yield bank account
NFTs -> buying illiquid assets like art or a house
altcoins -> buying stocks
p2p transactions -> cashapp/venmo
eventually there can be a way to surfacing more blockchain related concepts, but you can go quite far even with this simplified model. Ultimately, it'll be a lot more interesting than reading a book or watching a video.
Email is in bio if you think this is interesting and want to talk more.
Also, not sure where money laundering and the cartels come in- I’ve never heard this claim before and there’s no evidence at all.
As for why SBF got control(along with a few others), SBF was the biggest critic of Nomi’s leadership and arguably after the rugpull, you needed a name as weighty and trustworthy as SBF’s to really turn it around- and I think he did a good job.
Also SBF let the community have reins on if after navigating the roughest patches, so again- don’t see the issue there either.
They shouldn't claim to be principled and then take a cheap shot at Google by bowing down to Murdoch.
Yes, I get that they're a business and good on them for taking more market share but I'm not calling out Microsoft because they're not claiming to be the good guys.
Facebook has been heavily investing resources into the metaverse for a while - building up various experiences, snapping up game studios, even Occulus itself!
They just haven't bothered calling it a metaverse until now, but make no mistake - they are the leaders by a mile.
The code change to defeat the code change is easy to make (just delete a section of code) but you have to distribute clients that ship with the difficulty bomb removed on top of EIP 1559 not being implemented, on top of people actually downloading the changed version.
Good luck trying to convince the Geth or other client teams to ship that version.
Nothing wrong with being lofty, but with the money and manpower that FB has put behind BCI, versus the talent flight from Neurallink – FB will likely be the winner.
A shame, because I don't think anyone else can even come close to really stacking up.
It's just a column.
But that's not to say the reactions from journalists weren't critical. Adam from Stat had some choice words about the decision.
iirc, the side effect profile was pretty mild nausea, so definitely a viable option if you're in the market for FDA approved weight loss/control drugs
