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!).
Naturally, both are worth a follow, as is the rest of the @ARKInvest investment & research team, led by none other than @CathieDWood & @wintonARK!

Anyone else feel like @twitter’s going through a social revival?
Feel like lots of people are outgrowing the other social medias, or becoming wary of the data gathered & superficial culture, but simple little @twitter keeps chugging along.
The question goes beyond #cryptotwitter (which has 📉 w/ the market), and more to the number of people finding real use in it and pulled to consume or engage.

It's > 2/3 gambling use cases, and can't say I'm thrilled about it, but it's nonetheless notable that @block_one_'s $EOS is nearing 2M daily active users: diar.co/volume-3-issue…
2/ However, as @DiarNewsletter points out, @Ethereum's on-chain transactions are at an all-time high as it continues to attract substantive financially driven projects.
3/ Apparently @Tronfoundation's transactions are even more substantially gambling driven at > 95% diar.co/volume-3-issue…

1/ Recapping @alexhevans presentation of @MakerDAO adoption last night.

In its first year, Maker issued roughly $200 million in loans. For perspective, it took @LendingClub five years to originate $250 million in loans.
2/ Telltale sign of a “#cryptonetwork working” is it being able to scale far more quickly in the service it provides than a comparable company could.

We saw it with #Bitcoin, we’re seeing it with @MakerDAO.
3/ Almost 2% of all $ETH outstanding is now locked in @MakerDAO (red line), with > $70M in loans currently outstanding (blue line).

Loans outstanding = current market cap of $DAI: coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dai/

@bquittem Software failure always occurs in 3 areas:
User failure - it didn't deserve the needs of the end user
Organizational failure - the business/org' s needs weren't met

Technological failure - technical debt, leapfrog threat, or other intrinsic/extrinsic factor caused obsolescence/1
@bquittem Bitcoin is an interesting study in software risk mitigation (which I've been ding most of my career) so I'll share out thoughts because this is my latest favorite thought experiment/2
@bquittem I'll start with technological failure because this is the area I'm least familiar with, and have the least to offer:
Statistically, the bitcoin network has 99.983% uptime over 10 years since the genesis block. The decentralized, antifragile nature of block construction, /3

0/ A busy #crypto/#blockchain space to kick off the week! Below, I've covered 16 events that took place over the past 24 hours or so.

Now that should keep you in the know!
1/ 📢 @EthereumCF-, @Zilliqa-backed @SwingbyProtocol, a cross-chain lending protocol for issuing an ERC20 BTC token, shared its MVP and whitepaper!

Creates a 1:1 soft-peg b/w #bitcoin [ $BTC ] and the BTC token *while keeping the custodian decentralized*. medium.com/swingby-protoc…
2/ 🗾 @HelloICONworld [ $ICX ] entered into a strategic partnership with top Japanese #blockchain company, @LayerXcom.

Will co-host hackathons, demo days, and conferences to increase the adoption of SCORE, ICON’s smart contract implementation environment. medium.com/helloiconworld…

0/ We're finishing the week with a head of steam!

Keep reading for a 26-part thread covering the latest happenings in the #crypto/#blockchain space from the past day or so.
1/ ⭕️ @Opera has launched its #crypto-enabled Android mobile browser!

Includes a built-in #cryptocurrency wallet, support for #Ethereum/Web3, and interactivity with dApps such as @AxieInfinity and @CryptoKitties. What an achievement!
2/ 🔃 @MakerDAO's $MKR and $DAI are now live on the @Wanchain_org [ $WAN ] mainnet!

The Dai #stablecoin will utilize Wanchain's cross-chain functionality, allowing for #bitcoin [ $BTC ] to be exchanged for Dai in a decentralized manner.

0/ Investors breathed easier today as the price of large-cap digital assets like #bitcoin [ $BTC ] and #ether [ $ETH ] managed to hold steady.

Whilst many were glued to the charts, I was trawling through the interwebs for the latest from the world of #crypto. You're welcome 😉
1/ 📣 Fresh from launching v1.1.3 of its #mainnet, @NULSservice [ $NULS ] detailed the design architecture of NULS 2.0 in the below 23-page paper.

Allows #NULS to be more than just the underlying infrastructure of the #blockchain. Many more uses to come! nuls.io/api/v1/downloa…
2/ ⛏️ @UbiqSmart [ $UBQ ] has successfully hard-forked to #Ubqhash.

Having done so, Ubiq is now decoupled from #Ethash and, thus, is no longer vulnerable to rental hash attacks. This marks the first time an #Ethereum fork has forked to a PoW mining algorithm.

0.0/ A lot of #crypto news today from the securities enforcement world:

- DOJ goes to trial on ICO-related securities fraud charges
- SEC charges broker-dealer & hedge fund with securities violations
- FINRA charges broker with fraud & dealing unregistered securities

Thread.
1.0/ Let's start with DOJ. Today's news relates to a federal criminal case in the Eastern District of New York: United States v. Maksim Zaslavskiy.

Zaslavskiy was charged in November 2017 on three counts of securities fraud in connection with two ICOs: "REcoin" and "DRC."
1.1/ DOJ says Zaslavskiy lied to investors when he sold these ICOs.

According to the indictment, he told investors that both coins were backed by real world assets: he allegedly claimed REcoin was backed by real estate & DRC was backed by diamonds.

THREAD: Ready to get mindblown by #Bitcoin #CORE implementations and progress?

Volunteers around the world gather and cumulate tons of hours from the best minds on this planet about the topic. This is a gift, an invention made to humanity.
Forget about 2nd layer, it's already and way too mainstream as I recently stated.

Yet, welcome now to the "in between layers": "The new layer can be seen as a channel factory"

Now Smart contracts.

You tought #Bitcoin was dumb? First and foremost, you were wrong because $BTC has smart contracts *since the inception*: multisign and lately get timelocks (led to LN).

If you didn't know that, admit you're never really been interested in Bitcoin or lured?
