I think that today's Breakdown is going to look at the bitcoin and crypto conversation around the World Economic Forum, but it actually brings up sort of an important question:

Should this industry even care about what goes on in Davos? Why or why not?
Adding a poll for those who have an opinion but not enough to want to debate it. 🤣 Appreciate RTs for signal.

Should bitcoin/crypto space care about the convos at the WEF?

1. Yes, like it or not, they're power brokers
2. No, we're trying to build something new
3. Not sure
Relevant
And another thread along similar lines (if not specific to crypto)

LONG READS SUNDAY 79

Twitter has become less & less hospitable for long-form content, so after much contemplation, LRS is moving to email-only mode. I'll still post the top 5 best pieces of content here, but for the rest, it's a subscribe.

For now, let's dive into the top 5!
TL;DR on the Week

1. Top-level discussion was all about the price action
2. A persistent sub-theme was questions in the battle between privacy and surveillance
3. Macro themes set the stage for Davos discussions this coming week.

Now let's dive in to the Top 5.
Honorable Mention: "Internet of Beefs" by @vgr

Has the internet become inhospitable for anything but tribal warfare? It’s hard not to see the relevance to the crypto sphere, and this is a piece I think we're going to debate for some time.

Why is Bitcoin a Big Fucking Deal?

Or

Why can't Millennials afford houses?

Thread-y McThreadface... 1/
Money used to have intrinsic value. It either was, or was backed by, gold.

You could go to a bank and exchange your notes for their equivalent in gold. 2/
Throughout the 20th century, the biggest economies unpegged their currencies from gold.

The UK did this during The Great Depression in 1931. The US was the last one to do so, in 1973.

Since then, governments have had complete control of the money supply. 3/

1/ One of the great privileges I have when putting #MassiveAdoption together is meeting #Bitcoin #blockchain #crypto enterpreneurs across the country building ways away from SF/NY.

So I'm going to do a state-by-state series highlighting them.

(investors, pay attention)
2/ This is just a couple of companies to get us started. I'd love all of you to add your own picks & to tag folks in this state who are building around Bitcoin or on Bitcoin, crypto and blockchains. Let's shine some light inside the U.S., not just on the coasts.

#MassiveAdoption
3/ We start with #NorthCarolina to honor one of the stars of #Libra #LibraInDC day, Representative Patrick McHenry.

Bitcoin & blockchain aren't the first thing that come to mind when you think of NC, but you'd miss out on a lot, so let's get started.

#bitcoin could ossify today & still win the SoV use case based on its existing characteristics (scarcity, censorship resistance) & network effect / ubiquity.

Many “dev-centric” minds miss this b/c they only view #blockchain from a developer mindset & not a financial/social one.
“Do not try and do everything. Do one thing and do it well.” - Steve Jobs

#bitcoin is the 1st uninflatable, uncensorable, unconfiscatable asset the worlds ever known. It’s also the best tool to ever exist for each of those characteristics. It’s VERY GOOD as digital gold.
Hash rate at an ATH. Price is returning to ATH w/ a market capitalization of >$200B (6x+ its closest competitor ETH $31B).
