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!

#Cryptonetworks that started as a security but already launched & will be grandfathered into “sufficiently-decentralized-to-no-longer-be-a-security-land” have a sizable #RegulatoryMoat vs those that raised in 2017 and have yet to launch & cross the security divide.
Much easier for a regulator to say, that #cryptoasset’s no longer a security, and leave its tax treatment, filing requirements, etc as such, than to provide the path to cross from security —> non-security, and that “path” I fear will become a quagmire.
What woes will a team face if upon launch their cryptoasset is a security (until they become a non-security)?

For example:
1) tax ramifications of “transacting” a security are horrible for use.
2) heavy filing requirements drag on resources, especially if dev heavy team
3) ...?

Really enjoyed this chat with @jwangARK & @yassineARK.

#Bitcoin was the main topic, but we wove in discussion of @placeholdervc, developer traction, #crypto’s financial stack, regulatory matters and more: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fyi…
@jwangARK is a dear friend & sharp, independent thinker who we were lucky enough to hire from @nvidia when I was at @ARKInvest to cover $ARKW with me.
@yassineARK is a new friend who exudes warmth, and has done a fantastic job of replacing me at the firm, quickly making a name for himself in the #bitcoin space (and rightfully so!).

1/ Don't underestimate the strength of the #hodl meme. Until we have market completeness, hodlers will make #cryptoasset prices stickier than anticipated.
2/ Market completeness: "In such a market, the complete set of possible bets on future states-of-the-world can be constructed with existing assets without friction." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_…
3/ It's no secret the #crypto markets have a strong long bias.

Outside of the top 10 #cryptoassets, shorting is difficult, and even for the top 10, friction remains.

Howdy, burned-out Millennials! Today's @bopinion post is about what Millennials need.

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
This post was inspired by @annehelen's widely read piece on Millennial burnout: buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…
Disappointment and frustrated opportunity are at the core of educated Millennial burnout.

One reason is that traditional career paths for educated people are disappearing.

For example, look at the state of academic faculty hiring:

I’ve given several talks about burnout in the last five years, in the context of open source software maintenance, and I feel like I should do another one, but I’m not sure anybody wants to hear it.
It’s not very inspirational. It’s about what happened to me when the weight of burnout became too great to keep carrying along, and then too much to bear. As @annehelen’s excellent essay for Buzzfeed says (buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…), there’s no quick fix for burnout.
@annehelen It caused me anxiety, it alienated me from my career, it corroded my relationship, it threw up barriers in my family, it made me an unreliable and difficult friend / colleague / son / partner. It is a mode of existence more than a condition.

I want to talk about the millenial burnout article through the lens of disability and chronic illness. I think the article has many valid points about say, capitalism and the need for unions, but makes some missteps.
First off, I absolutely believe that workers today (and particularly millenials) need greater labor protections. Reagan/Thatcher eroded a lot of the ones people fought and died for, and there are too many loopholes in ones we still have (like the 35 hour week).
But I'm...uncomfortable with how the author of the millenial burnout piece seems to be taking a systemic problem with capitalism and using the language of disability/chronic illness/neurodivergence to describe it.

I wrote a long and oddly soothing piece about how burnout became the millennial condition:

buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…
This piece began with me trying to figure out why I had "errand paralysis" and ballooned into this much bigger thing. I was convinced I didn't have burnout. But that's because I was convinced that burnout was something you could fix with a vacation:

buzzfeednews.com/article/annehe…
Goes without saying that dozens of people's writing and thinking contributed to this piece but I'm particularly grateful to @JonMalesic, who's been writing about burnout forever, and @BigMeanInternet's book on millennials, which you can buy here:
