Crypto Daily 3@3 - 9.13 | The State vs.Crypto | BTC futures & DeFi roboadvisors | Invest:Asia trends pscp.tv/w/cEvetTE0Nzc1…
What I'm covering:

+Germany following France in blocking Libra (but exploring its own digital currency)

+CME expands BTC futures, Bakkt warehouse comes online, DeFi robo advisor tool

+Trends from Invest:Asia - incl IEOs and initial COUNTRY offerings
My take:

+Crypto vs. State is going to be one of the most impactful political and economic battles of our lives

+Luckily we've got the ability to opt out of state money for the first time ever (at least in part)

+Asia is increasingly the center of gravity for crypto markets

LONG READS SUNDAY #64

This week’s story wasn’t some big flashy news, but the slow, irrevocable shifting of the tectonic plates that underly money and the global order.

With every day that passes, the stakes of the enterprise grows.

Strap in, comrades, it's long reads time 👇
2/ What do I mean? Let’s start with this thread from @el33th4xor about a French official reaching out to talk crypto, where he perfectly sums up the context of this moment when he says “Libra awakened the sovereigns.”
3/ The context for this was news Wednesday from a speech by French finance minister Bruno Le Maire in which he said “I want to be absolutely clear: In these conditions, we cannot authorize the development of Libra on European soil.”

Crypto Daily 3@3 - 9.12 | QE is good for Bitcoin / Binance US opening / France to block Libra pscp.tv/w/cEqQuTE0Nzc1…
Here's the news we covered today:

1. European Central Bank cutting rates, Trump's response, and implications of QE for BTC

2. Binance US launches next week - who is the likely user?

3. Facebook to block Libra, but tax exempts crypto-to-crypto trades

BONUS: Mass adoption!
My takes:

1. The more people connect the dots b/n QE and bitcoin, the more its alt SoV narrative is reinforced

2. Not clear who initial Binance US user is, but I wouldn't judge by immediate uptake

3. France is example of govt's saying "maybe WE should make digital currency"

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.
