Thrilled to launch Long Reads Live tonight - a weekly riff w/ the smartest, most interesting people I can find about the ideas shaping crypto. For this kickoff episode, my co-host is @Travis_Kling and we'll be joined by @katherineykwu & @myles_snider
bit.ly/longreadslive /1
2/ With so much going on, you can expect a pretty fire show. I anticipate we'll get into:

+Market manipulation in all its beautiful forms
+Regulatory intrigue
+Bitmain IPO #s and interpretation
+Viral dynamics and crypto-native equity

and maybe...the Tether Target?
3/ Big thanks to all the podcasters, creators and curators out there who produce so much great thinking. Special ups to @theonevortex whose weekly The Bitcoin News Show was a definite inspiration. youtube.com/channel/UCHFL9…

Long Reads Sunday #28 - First Long Reads Of 2019 Edition!

What fresh madness will the new year bring?
Is the herd coming?
Is it the year of open finance?
Will NFTs and games matter at all?

Smash a coffee ☕️ and a crumpet 🥐it’s long reads time! 👇
2/ Let’s kick things off with a recap of the recaps and predictions thread. Gotta give the first slot honors to @arjunblj, whose 63 crypto theses took over the conversation. I particularly love the convention of sharing confidence intervals. medium.com/@arjunblj/cryp…
3/ Last year’s big prediction piece was @twobitidiot 95 crypto theses. Ryan published a recap scoring how he did, and also challenged @arjunblj to a duel for getting out ahead of him on this year's. They debate on a new live pod with @apompliano next week! messari.substack.com/p/scoring-my-9…

Simply put, this is the best crypto content of the year - the most interesting, influential & inflammatory threads and essays.

You may not agree with everything here, but you can’t ignore it. 🔥

2/ Much of this year was about prying ourselves from the fever dream of free money and non-dilutive capital that was the 2017 ICO frenzy. Even as the token bonanza continued into 2018, @Melt_Dem flagged the inevitable collision w the lack of natural demand medium.com/@Melt_Dem/drow…
3/ As the dust settled and we asked how we got hundreds of speculative assets with valuations in the tens or hundreds of millions, @nic__carter connected the dots between exchanges, coin ranking sites, and coin developers medium.com/s/the-crypto-c…

I'm at a crypto event with reps from the Bank of England, HM Treasury, FCA, Ripple, and Prime Factor Capital. You think crypto is going away? These people are discussing how to implement it now. #crypto #bitcoin @ripple @bankofengland @TheFCA @hmtreasury
One study shows 43% of investors (mostly asset managers) are invested in crypto. 33% of transactions were in the OTC market. #crypto #investors
Almost all panelists refer to "crypto assets" not cryptocurrencies #cryptoassets #crypto
