1/ Long Reads Sunday #6. On the same day that NYSE/ICE announced a new crypto ecosystem w/ Microsoft & Starbucks, a bomber drone tries to assassinate the leader of a country with a bitcoin/currency black market at the center of turmoil. So, you know, just another week in crypto.
2/ Let’s start big. On Friday, the parent group of the New York Stock Exchange announced a new crypto ecosystem with partners like Microsoft and Starbucks. Some called the announcement - and the institutional validation it implied - the news of the year.
3/ Those expecting a price bump were soon disappointed. Ryan argued that this was b/c the new @Bakktapp offered new supply but not new demand. In the great conversation that followed @novogratz argued that the partners like SBUX accelerate new audiences.

2/ A popular entrapment game is an "all-pay auction" (where each bid costs money). This is similar to FOMO3D where you need to pay each time you "take" the private key.

3/ It's logical to pay $1 for $20.
Then to pay $19 for $20.
But it even makes sense to pay $21 for $20, because then you only lose $1 (21-20) instead of losing the amount of your previous bid (and not winning the $20).
