Long Reads Sunday #61 - How Everything Changes ed.

Underneath what appeared a relatively calm, end-of-summer week was the specter of seismic change of the global money order.

Don’t believe me? Well, cop a ☕️ & let’s dive in. It’s Long Reads time!
2/ The two poles of the week were Binance announcing Venus - a regionalized, government collaborative version of Facebook’s Libra - and Bank Of England Mark Carney’s stunning proposal for a "Synthetic Hegemonic Currency” to replace USD as the global reserve currency.
3/ Binance’s announcement of Venus was almost subdued. Blog posts went live Sunday, and interestingly, the blog post in Chinese was a much fuller statement, more defiant and directed in its invocation of transforming a new financial era.

Short answer is yes.

I think that the convergence of the BTC & macro narratives has to do with the polar oppositeness of BTC's 'unforgeable scarcity' as compared to MMT.

The stock to flow idea discussed by @saifedean and modeled out by @100trillionUSD give it substance.
And the discussion of his work by @DTAPCAP and @RaoulGMI certainly helped shine a light. Shared below for those who haven't seen
@DTAPCAP @RaoulGMI Btw here is the piece from @100trillionUSD they're discussing medium.com/@100trillionUS…

0/ Back from an amazing week in Hobart* to bring you a 24-part thread covering the latest from the #crypto space over the past day or two!

*S/O to @TasFireService & @NSWRFS for bravely fighting a near-month-long fire that's now burnt out 28,000+ ha of World Heritage-listed land.
1/ 🛰️ Leading #Bitcoin infra. #tech provider @Blockstream has launched its Blockstream Satellite API Beta.

Paying via the #LightningNetwork testnet (i.e., for free), users can broadcast data via Blockstream's satellite network. No #Internet needed! blockstream.com/2019/01/16/sat…
2/ 🛑 Ethereum's #Constantinople upgrade was postponed due to a potential vulnerability discovered by #blockchain security firm @Chain_Security relating to EIP1283 (i.e., cheaper gas costs for SSTORE operations). Next course of action to be explored during Friday's core dev call.
