1/ friend who works for a well-known sports media company with 20M+ monthly visitors / users

"i hate that everything is owned by @facebook, @Google, and @Apple. we now post most of our content on @telegram because all the other platforms keep blocking our content."
@facebook @Google @Apple @telegram 2/ next week, i'm hosting a panel w/ @getongab, @makelovenotporn, and @eaze on this topic @CryptoSprings

it isn't just access to payments that's getting blocked.

it's access to technology infrastructure (servers, domains, email, web hosting)

it's access to your own users
@facebook @Google @Apple @telegram @getongab @makelovenotporn @eaze @CryptoSprings 3/ today - our digital overlords control who can do what, when, and where.

despite having terms of service, these terms are implemented inconsistently and based on the opinions of the company's executives and the ability of a vocal minority to control the narrative.

1/ random thread, on locks and keys. since humans have existed, we have been finding ways to lock things away.

this is a nuremberg chest from the 16th century, which secured its contents using an ornate set of interlocking mechanisms opened by sets of keys operated in tandem
2/ "security" is to put things inside larger boxes with thicker walls and more keys.

it's been so ingrained into our consciousness to secure things with locks and keys that as we go from a world of *things* to a world of *ideas*, we still look for boxes to shove shit into.
3/ but how do you store ideas in a box with locks and keys?

i'm always so fascinated by how people react to cryptocurrency - because for most, it's their first interaction with digital locks and keys.

public private key encryption is mind-blowingly cool!

1/ a short thread on cyclical (short term) vs secular (long term) investing, and crypto

secular investment trends take a long time to play out, and are often driven by a paradigm shift / once in a generation event. @amazon $AMZN is a great example.
@amazon 2/ if you bought Amazon at its peak in 2000, you were out of the money for *seven* years.

Amazon was part of a cyclical trend in internet stocks in 2000.

however, over the last 20 years, $AMZN has been one of the best investments. secular > cyclical.
@amazon 3/ if we look at bitcoin investing, it follows the cyclical trend outlined by the brilliant @CarlotaPrzPerez in her book "technological revolutions and financial bubbles"

bitcoin is a secular investment (if you zoom out, up and to the right) that operates in cycles

சுற்றுச்சூழல் முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்த #Amazon மழைக்காடு, உலகில் வெளியடப்படும் Carbon di oxide வளியை பெருமளவில் உட்கொள்ளும் திறன் வாய்ந்தது மட்டுமல்லாமல் உலகின் 20 சதவீதம் ஆக்ஸிஜனை அளிப்பதும் அமேசான் காடுகள் என்பதால் தான், அதை உலகின் நுரையீரல் என்று குறிப்பிடுகிறார்கள்.
உலகின் முக்கியத்துவத்தை பெற்றிருக்கும் அம்மழைக்காட்டில், இந்த ஆண்டு மட்டும் 72,843 காட்டுத் தீ விபத்துக்கள் ஏற்பட்டுள்ள தாகவும், கடந்த ஆகஸ்ட் 15 க்கு பிறகு மட்டும் 9,000க்கும் அதிகமான தீ விபத்துகள் அங்கு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளதாக ஆய்வுகள் தெரிவிக்கின்றது.

உலகின் பெரும்பகுதியான மழைக்காடுகளையும், பல வகையான தொல்குடி இன மக்களையும், மிகப்பெரிய அளவிலான உயிரினங்களையும் உள்ளடக்கிய மழைக்காட்டினை தன்னகத்தே கொண்டதுதான் அமேசான்மழைக்காடு.

The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.
🗣️Protect nature!

There is no "ngo" burning the #AmazonRainforest these are Cattle Ranchers, most of whom voted for #Bolsonaro. They're destroying the #Enviroment to steal #Indigenous land for themselves #NativeTwitter!#IndigenousRights #NativeLivesMatter

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Dutch govt supports its firms 'sustainable' invstmt in Brazil's Northern Corridor while its own internal studies show that it will worsen Amazon deforestation & conflict.
