2/ The geopolitical situation underlying crypto this week was Iran’s missile response. As news broke, @travis_kling pointed out the price of bitcoin moving in parallel w gold & crude, as it had since the announcement of the killing of Suleimani.
3/ The next day, I had @Travis_kling join me on The Breakdown to discuss what this price action suggests in the ongoing debate about to what extent bitcoin is acting like a safe haven in times of geopolitical turbulence. coindesk.com/travis-kling-o…

A note on reading this: each week, I’ll post the week and LRS # along with a few words on the vibe or key events of the week, plus the highlight content. The content was chosen based on how clicked it was + my personal bias!
[LRS28 - Jan 6] Like any year, 2019 kicked off with a bevy of prediction posts, and among all of them it was @arjunblj that stood out. What’s notable looking back is how much crypto black swan events like Libra just weren’t on the horizon medium.com/@arjunblj/cryp…

2/ Bitcoin price drops do to Crypto Twitter what releasing a pack of Dementor’s does to Hogwarts Students, so let’s start with *why* people think the price is tanking. According to @Reuters, it’s a ‘China Crackdown’
3/ Meanwhile, according to @OJRenick, the price is tanking because bitcoin can only be successful if the world fails, people are realizing that and getting out accordingly. And oh, maybe they should get out of Gold too. forbes.com/sites/oliverre…

2/ This LRS starts, like everything on the internet, with porn. On Thursday, news broke that PayPal would be blocking all transaction to @PornhubHelp models. It was a tailor-made “bitcoin fixes this” moment
3/ The point was not that this PayPal block would impact most people, but the reminder that, to an alarming extent, technology controls us as much as we control it. This is why so many are getting more and more excited about the concept of #DissidentTech
