Thoughts on #DeFi with @JulienThevenard:

Companies tokenise invoices & assets with @centrifuge and use them as collateral on @DharmaProtocol / @MakerDAO to unlock working capital?

People tokenise their cars / homes / stock options with @mattereum and use them as collateral?
As long as there is a liquid market & pricing for the collateral asset: e.g. @webuyanycar, @Opendoor & @EquityZen, what's still missing?

- Enforceable transfer of ownership of collateral? --> @mattereum
- Insurance against unexpected devaluation of collateral?
Would love thoughts or ideas about what still needs to be built out?

Or where are we missing something or simply wrong?

⬇️ Core Arguments Below ⬇️
This movement is much more than just crypto - instead it’s a completely new wave of computing architecture driven by a couple of mega trends: Edge Computing, AI/ML and Decentralised Data Networks - 2/9
This wave fits in a history of paradigm shifts, in which technical innovations led to a complete overhaul of business models and value accrual mechanisms. Democratising access to previously locked-up data will push companies to focus on network native business models - 3/9

1/ Welcome to Ethereum - check your fiat at the door and grab some ether from @coinbase - you’re about to enter the world of open finance #DeFi 🦄

(thread)
2/ With your freshly purchased ether, you can now interact with the Ethereum economy & Web3 while securely storing your assets using the @CoinbaseWallet (or @ethstatus, @TrustWalletApp etc).
3/ What is Web3 you ask? The web, as it exists today, is controlled by giant companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon. Web3 aims to transform the web into an open, decentralized system using distributed ledger technology.

1/ Long Reads Sunday 17. I don’t if it was the momentum wake of big institutional announcements, the battle for interpretation around stablecoin instability, or something else entirely, but crypto brains 🧠 popped off this week. Cancel your plans, it’s long reads time. 👇
2/ The week kicked off with what some called the biggest news of the year - the announcement of Fidelity Digital Assets by the 3rd largest asset manager in the world. @MessariCrypto breaks down the details.
3/ It’s only one small detail, but it’s telling that on the day of the announcement, the new Fidelity group published a medium post surveying the pre-Bitcoin history of digital cash. Contextual awareness of crypto history matters for a big firm

1/ Prompted by @tonysheng’s great piece (tonysheng.com/mass-movement), I’ve been thinking a lot about mass movements today
2/ I hadn't really thought of it in these terms before, but #DeFi is a mass movement. It's a community for enthusiasts of Decentralized Finance. And we have all come together because we believe in a much better future

3/ We're at the early stages of this movement. But we're seeing the emergence of "men of words", who are sowing the intellectual seeds that will bring adherents to the movement

People who don't understand #spinning yarn by hand, aka #handspinning, think a spinning wheel works if the drive wheel turns. And that wheels are easy to build. I mean, how hard could it be? They're totally for women, so they're obviously not really technology.
These thoughts brought to you by yet another morning waking up to an email asking if someone should spend $300 on a non-working "antique" that someone says "works great," because new wheels people recommend start in the $500-600 range.

Functioning new wheels cost that because that's what it costs to build them reliably and bring them to market.

Could you build your own? people also ask often. Maybe. But you need to already have all the tools and already know how spinning wheels actually work.

🚨🚨TRUTH BOMB INCOMING🚨🚨

So the always amazing @DrDaveOBrien @markrt & @OrianBrook have dropped 44 pages worth of receipts on the Creative Industries attitudes to:

🔹Social class
🔹Cultural taste
🔹Inequality

Hold me, I'm going in.

createlondon.org/wp-content/upl…
Inequality in the arts can feel like a trivial issue. I mean, the arts are the fluffy stuff of life, right?

No.

The arts are how we see ourselves reflected in culture, so...

🔹The unrepresented go unseen.
🔹The over-represented. assume their experience is 'universal;
Also, props to @DrDaveOBrien, @markrt & @OrianBrook for adopting an inter-sectional approach.

The default assumption that 'working class' is indivisible from white maleness needs deconstructing, and fast.
