Same question, but for best tweet/twitter thread
I’ll start. LRS is where I put everything but as a preview, this thread on how Ethereum could think intentionally about price, security and competition is a great read
Adding this to the Tweet thread.

Fun facts:

+I was a history major, and still obsessed with shit like this
+I get tagged as the National Library of Wales (NLW) all the damn time

Because it was inside another thread, it didn't get as much action, but a ton to learn re: stablecoins and cross-border settlement here from @MichaelDunwort1

LRS32 Super Bowl Edition!

You might have heard that Tom Brady has thrown 11.4% of all Super Bowl TDs ever, but did you know that Dan Larimer created 47.6% of all blockchains?

This week reinforced that, in crypto, the “big game” is the battle of ideas. Here are 20 👇
2/ IDEA: Crypto tribalism results in part from different base belief systems.

@arjunblj & @yassineARK kicked off a massive amount of lively discussion with this piece on the difference of constrained vs. unconstrained visions of the world.
3/ IDEA: If Ethereum has failed in five years, this is why.

@lrettig prompted this valuable though experiment that got the Ethereum community self-reflecting in a massive way on what might go wrong and how they could do better.

No sacred cows! 🐮
To be clear, the authors are not arguing that there won’t be a single dominant digits money; they’re articulating the immense challenges arrayed against it, including:

+incentives of big capital to find a “newer, better version”
+theoretically culturally incompatible adopters
They’re good points. To me the interesting question is about escape velocity. It feels likely that the network effect of money is enough to overcome these challenges, but only once a digital proton pet has reached sufficient network escape velocity within early adopter circles

$100m for VC mining vs. $5k for core development.

A short thread on Grin, incentives, and the state of the crypto commons. /1

👇

2/ Last night, Ignotus Peverell, pseudonymous dev who launched @GrinMW shared his frustration w industry around Grin. "Grin will profit infinitely more from the contributions of a great developer..than from any single additional miner, exchange or fund." grin-forum.org/t/early-disapp…
3/ Specifically in question was the disparity between VC-backed mining, which @wheatpond estimated at $100m+, and the crowd funding campaign for @yeastplume, which stood at ~$5k before the announcement and is a bit over $20k now theblockcrypto.com/tiny/grin-lead…

So after my Twitter thread yesterday on how "Nigerian Twitter influencers" make money and an estimate of what they make daily and monthly, I've been getting DM's from people that are interested to learn how they can go about being an "influencer".

Issa #thread!
This thread won't cover how you can become an influencer though. I told y'all the sweet money making parts yesterday and I don't blame anyone for wanting to join the Twitter influencer clique. However, it's not all rosy on this side. Especially for people that are looking to...
...become "influencers".

First of all, I'd like to tell y'all that there are cliques that get all those deals I mentioned. There are people sitting in position of power at top PR agencies and marketing executives at brands that they have connections with. They get deals...

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

How CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana compromised the security and lives of millions of Indians under the #SmartCities project by collaborating with shady foreign spy firms who could now exploit our sensitive police data & other realtime info.
gginews.in/picture-intell…
Rakesh Asthana then Police Commissioner was involved in deploying very sensitive Forensic Criminal Investigation Sys requiring real-time intelligence gathering working in sync with police database. Given the nature of work & risks involved it must be handeled carefully. Was it?
“The Face Recognition System & Forensic Criminal Investigation System can offer our police department the much required real-time intelligence to ensure safety of our city and its citizens. We can now proudly say that Surat Safe City is India’s first Safe City.”

People have been wanting info about my streaming setup, so here's a bit of information about it... It's nothing masterful, but I do what I can because I must. ;) (Somewhat long #thread) Obligatory stream link: twitch.tv/mattlewellyn #SupportSmallStreamers
First, my stream art. My art usually starts somehow based on a @streamlabs theme, even if only for inspiration or to make my custom CSS/JS a lot easier to wrangle. The text is usually done w/ custom browser sources. For more info on Streamlabs OBS visit streamlabs.com/slobs/d/103698…
For custom fonts, I override whatever font selection is made via custom CSS. I embed my fonts as base 64 in the CSS thanks to @FontSquirrel's webfont generator. Base 64 seems to perform the best for locally-hosted HTML files with inline CSS even. Probably because no caching.

This is the best thing on Twitter this morning. I see too many security products trying to *replace* human-to-human interaction - there’s a good chunk of security and privacy that’s about *people*.

Let’s make more products which help people STOP, collaborate, and listen 😝
Forgetting about the “people” part of security is why we’ve heard “GRC is dead” for the last 10 years. We’re on “GRC 4.0” now and it *still* sucks.

GRC tools like Archer are designed for Process and Technology but forget about the poor People who have to use that dumpster fire.
We still have new vendors trying to design single-pane-of-glass “CISO dashboards”, meanwhile *very* few security companies are truly focused on people (not just security people) inside of organizations.

@duosec is one of the few companies who has focused on people. @habitu8 too

Aadhaar through the ages.

A #thread -
Nilekani: Let there be an ID that is voluntary in nature & would prove to be an empowerment tool for millions!

UPA: Cool. Like a citizenship ID?

NN: Nope. Just an ID. No rights will be granted... But eventually... all citizen rights will be dependent on it! Get it?

UPA:
Activists: Um I think you need to create a law. This is kinda big. YUGE project. YUGE

UPA: Let there be an ID which will be created by a random attached office in the planning commission!

Activist: Wait. What?

UPA: Oh hey, Planning Comm is doing a lot of PLANNING for this, OK?
