Millennials aren’t lazy, they’re overwhelmed and struggling to keep their heads above water: buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…
Parts of this piece hit home personally, and also for what I see in some of my peers.

Especially important to read if you’re feeling like life has become one big to-do list.

Don’t make this a to-do though, enjoy it 🙂
And thank you @annehelen, thought it was an amazing piece!

1/ Blockchains collapse the cost of digital asset creation, custody & transfer, enabling *programmable value* of all kinds.
2/ Money, while an important application of blockchains, is a subset of the broader programmable value universe.
3/ A money like #bitcoin is likely to be the greatest *single instance* of value capture within the programmable value universe, which is why many of the top #cryptoassets today are battling for this position.

The mainstream has almost entirely forgotten about #bitcoin again.
In conversations with people from home, many recall the #crypto hype from a year ago, but have stopped paying attention since.
Yes, there are a lot more “decisions makers” that have gained a basic understanding of #crypto, which is great.

And the technologists & financial folks that feed off the bleeding edge continue to pay attention, invest, or build, just as happened in 2015.

0/ The level of daily activity that takes place in the #crypto and #blockchain space never ceases to amaze me.

Below, a 22-part thread full of project announcements and other ecosystem events from the past ~24 hours. Enjoy!
1/ 🚀 @DharmaProtocol- and @CompoundFinance-powered @Bloqboard introduced its 'Offers to Lend' feature!

Now, lenders can offer to lend $BAT, $DAI, $REP, $WETH and $ZRX in a P2P-manner from their @MetaMask_io wallet. Can be done in under a minute!
2/ 🙋‍♂️ Hong Kong-headquartered @CryptoCom appointed Tyson Hackwood (@tysonius) to its leadership team as senior vice president and head of global merchant acquisition.

If you want a video about how YOU should demand that the EU #DeleteArt13 of the #EUCopyrightDirective, maybe start with this one:
If you would like an authoritative voice regards why we YOU need to act to get the EU to #DeleteArt13 - to avoid the Internet and Web being swamped with a "Link Tax", here is the perspective of German Euro-MP, Julia Reda: juliareda.eu/2018/05/censor…

Okay for real. I’m all for debates about open source. But we have to start acknowledging that part of why it’s impactful *is because it’s free*.
Most OSS has no (economic) worth until many ppl use it to create *something else* valuable. If you built that same thing and tried to charge ppl initially, it wouldn’t work.
It seems obvious, but it is such a big part of why people don’t want to pay for it even after it accrues value.

Ha, that thing you tweeted about, is like OverSec for browsers. OverSec works on Android, has some awesome features
In particular you can send the encrypted text encoded into non visible glyphs, and then write a cover message that is displayed instead
So your WhatsApp doesn’t look like it is full of encrypted chatter, but just normal messages. Of course, forensics would find it, but…
