It’s always absolutely brutal watching a PM quit - May obviously absolutely devastated having fought so long and so hard
Standby of course for politicians who were part of her undoing now miraculously spending the day saying nice things about her - this is a rough game
No question her leadership was broken some time ago and she was c reluctant to accept it - political chemistry will change for whoever’s next - but policy nightmares remain

Lots of news in that half hour .... in no particular order .. Trump says everything would be on the table for a trade deal, says Johnson and Hunt would both be good as PM but he ‘doesn’t know Michael’ (gove has interviewed him so they have actually met)
Trump says Khan and Corbyn are ‘negative’ and he ‘doesn’t like critics’ - (quite something coming from him!)
Interestingly, despite taking part in the protest, Trump reveals Corbyn asked for a meeting, which has been now confirmed by Corbyn’s office

1. Win for @AlbertoCostaMP who's persuaded Michael Gove to scrap fees for EU citizens to become British citizens if he becomes PM and to change system for EU citizens who live here so they don't have prove they have the right to stay
2. Costa says - 'EU citizens rights were wrongly placed onto the negotiating table. By absolutely guaranteeing the rights of EU nationals and making them a truly generous offer of British Citizenship, Michael Gove has got it. This is the morally right thing to do'
2. Source close to Gove says 'This is simply the right thing to do – honouring the promise of vote Leave that EU nationals studying, working + living in the UK were welcome to stay.'-in theory this could mean as many as 3m new UK citizens in unlikely event they all took up offer

1. Been a weird day - election rules have meant we haven’t been able to report fully on what’s been going on
2. Now polls have closed... several Cabinet ministers say they expect May to name the date tmrw, one told me they might quit if she doesn’t
3. Likely date for start of contest 10th June, so May still in place fully for Trump visit, then ministers hope contest for next PM can be wrapped up by end of July

Now, shifting gears slightly, we shared the #HyperDecisive model at the #RealBIEvent. We discussed, we got feedback, and we got scoring! #BIWisdom
OK, got my slides ready. Here's the model again, for reference. Slight edit on the left axis. #BIWisdom
Next we showed an "imagined" score, derived from our research. The red line is for reference soon. #BIWisdom

Long Reads Sunday #46.

Are you kidding me, crypto?

Binance Hack.
FinCEN regulatory guidance.
Major BIPs.
Oh, and a $7K Blockchain Week surge.

Strap in folks, it’s a wacky and wild long reads time.
2/ The week started with a bang when news broke that @binance had been hacked of ~7000 BTC, reaffirming the notion that when it comes to exchange hacks, it’s not a matter of if, but when, and what happens next.
3/ Somehow, in this case the “what happens next” was even more interesting. In the wake of the attack, Bitcoin core dev @JeremyRubin did a bit of thinking out loud, proposing that @cz_binance “coordinate a reorg to undo the theft.”

Long thread: some people will think this is a foolish statement but a lot of us here in #PDX understand that we are in the epicenter of street politics in the United States.
There’s many reasons why Portland is so politically charged but it’s history as a white supremacist utopia certainly plays a role.

In the early 90s there was still a substantial amount of neo nazi organizing in Portland, until anti fascists pushed them out of town.

Long Reads Sunday #30.

Grin goes live; Ethereum Constantinople delays; Wyoming leading the regulatory pack; 2019 as year of the DAO?; hostile token takeovers and, of course, ⚡ lightning. 2019 is revving up so smash those coffee mugs, it’s long reads time. /1

👇
2/ Let’s start with something great. Crypto is demonstrating the rising global competition b/n states & nations for citizenship/revenue. In the US, Wyoming is showing leadership around crypto legal clarity. Big announcement explained by @CaitlinLong_
3/ In addition to being good for crypto companies and good for the state, Wyoming’s regulatory leadership also provide a point of reference for those, like this former Congressman, arguing that protecting crypto innovation needs to be a policy goal thehill.com/opinion/techno…

PM of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad @chedetofficial speaking on 'Future of Democracy in Asia' at Chatham House, London today. @501Awani
"I may be accused of being a dictator, but I like to differ. And today, a dictator will talk about democracy." - Tun M said, to a roar of laughter from the crowd at Chatham House.
"Democracy is not something easy to handle. The basic rule is that the majority of people have a right to choose their leaders. If you want to make a government work, you need to have a certain kind of discipline."
