The next generation of crypto wallets will have built-in user interfaces for common verbs.

Not just send and receive, but also buy, sell, sign, vote, stake, register, and so on.
The ideal wallet might have the:

Cold storage of @CasaHODL
Convenience of @ZenGo
Functionality of @MyCrypto
Dev friendliness of @CoinbaseWallet
Browser integration of @metamask_io
Asset support of an exchange

Eventually, an open source app/library will have all of these.
@MyCrypto was ahead of the game with built-in functionality for ENS registration all the way back in late 2017. One could take that much farther, though.

Digital quarantine is here.

It appears that folks who fled Wuhan have been digitally quarantined, likely via WeChat. Their apps don’t work outside the quarantine zone.

Now that’s happened to 240 Uber users in Mexico exposed to the infected.

Complex issue! A thread…🧵
First, Wuhan is a city in crisis. The healthcare system has crashed. You do not want that in your city, or country. This is not an illusory threat.

So, a quarantine. Stop this from spreading. Free movement suddenly has externalities.

But how efficient should that quarantine be?
It’s hard to argue that the Wuhan quarantine should be porous. Or that contagious riders should spread to drivers. That’s how the whole system crashes, as in Wuhan.

Yet the potential for long-term abuse here is so obvious.

I hadn’t even thought yet about the degree of digital surveillance that may have kicked in.

Forget traditional epidemiological contact tracing. For every infected, the Chinese government can pull up their location history and find every other cellphone that was nearby.
Obvious potential for abuse. But this is that rare situation where many would opt in to being tracked.

It could help determine the people and behaviors spreading the coronavirus. Literally a life & death issue. Far more immediate than terrorism or crime.
As you go from crime, to terrorism, to pandemics the frequency decreases but severity increases.

Governments ask for powers in times of crisis. They will be granted them. They may use them to solve the crisis. Then they often eventually abuse them.

Both crisis & abuse are real.

Face masks go mainstream in the 2020s.

1) Starts as protection against infection, pollution
2) Then privacy, to defeat face recognition
3) Then people realize: less time on makeup, hair
4) Eventually, standard piece of clothing. Both privacy and hygiene.
theatlantic.com/health/archive…
Many systems exhibit hysteresis. Even after the shock of the coronavirus dissipates, hopefully once a vaccine is widely deployed, a new normal with respect to face masks will have been established within China at a minimum.
Face masks are a missing piece of the pseudonymous economy thesis:

For people to truly be pseudonymous, they'd need to cover their face in public & reveal only to the trusted. Tech like cvdazzle.com did exist, but this is how it goes mainstream

@el33th4xor caught this. i'm going to break it down in a long, probably painful THREAD.
FinCEN issues, then maybe retracts, 30 pages of guidance that is stated to be a reiteration & consolidation of prior guidance "rules and interpretations to other common business models involving CVC (convertible virtual currency) engaging in the same ...activity"
6 sections: 1. key concepts within the context of the guidance.
2 consolidates & explains current FinCEN regulations, previous
administrative rulings, & guidance involving the regulation of money transmission under the BSA. 3. summarizes FinCEN’s 2013 guidance
