1/ What are the implicit and explicit strategies that crypto projects are taking? What can we see about 2019 to 2021?
2/ First we have to see the fundamentals view of money, the layers of crypto, publication vs validation, verticals, and the relationship between different chains.
3/ The beginning was Bitcoin as peer to peer cash. Private key = value (bearer shares), security as a competition. The implicit assumption was exchanging, but in fact it became the lead "collectible."

1/ What is the uniqueness about Spotify and the context in which it started? What was the conventional wisdom and how did it differ?
2/ The time was after Napster died, Lala died (got acquired by Apple), Kazaa got sued out of existence, and the perception was that it was just a license problem.
3/ The conventional view was that things are shifting toward the cloud, do a client/server architecture, get some license and then done.

1/ What are the experiments from crypto in 2015 to 2018? What are the underlying beliefs and thesis that were validated or invalidated? Feel free to add your own.
2/ The beginning was the ultimate OG Bitcoin with Nakamoto Consensus. The underlying assumptions were private key = value (bearer shares), security at all cost, domain specific validation (UTXO validation), single player mode (store of value), and a community around collectible.
3/ The problem was how do you distribute this as a global currency. There are two economies: the services & goods economy and the financial economy. People took the currency and tried to add merchants to bootstrap the demand. Coinbase started with this, and instead pivoted.

1 like = 1 tech industry prediction for 2019.

Rules are: I’m not going to defend them, however outlandish they might sound. But I’ll try and be sincere. Feel free to add your own! I’ll keep this going while I’m in the air.
California will have a GDPR-like privacy bill on the table by the end of the year. Other states (like Oregon) will follow suit. Privacy legislation will pass state by state before going federal.
Bitcoin will never regain its EOY 2017 price.

The #SurvivingRKelly documentary three-day event starts tonight. While the material is riveting - it can also be triggering for survivors. Here are some tips for watching this documentary for those who have experienced sexual violence.
* Decide if you can handle it. There will be first hand accounts of sexual, physical and emotional abuse that may trigger memories or feelings that you would rather not deal with. Don’t feel obligated too. If it feels like too much don’t watch or turn it off when you want to.
* Have a plan for support. Don’t watch alone and try to watch with folks who support your healing and who are affirming in your life. If you have family or friends who victim blame or dismiss your feelings - don’t watch with them.

Lots of ppl making reading lists for the coming year right now. If you want some Jesuit reading, below are some of my favorite books and authors on all things Jesuit and Ignatian

(Also, this is by no means an exhaustive list, so feel free to add your own!)
Always start w/ the man himself: St. Ignatius and his autobiography. There’s various editions out there. I like the Ignatius Press version the best b/c it has helpful footnotes
Ignatius wrote a lot in his lifetime—in addition to his autobiography, he wrote the Spiritual Exercises, the Jesuit Constitutions, and a *mountain* of letters. The Classics of Western Spirituality vol. compiles his greatest hits, and is a solid intro to Ignatius and the Jesuits

Let's try something new: *7 days, 7 statistical misconceptions*.
Over the next 7 days I'll post about 1 statistical misconception a day. Curious to hear your favorite #statsmisconceptions, so feel free to add you own to this thread
Day 1: "Sample size has nothing to do with bias"
👆 is something I still hear regularly. This misconception seems to be based on the oversimplified idea that sample size only affects precision - something I was told repeatedly in the first years of my studies
