INTRODUCING AVANTI's LEADERSHIP TEAM! @kanzure CTO, @zshimko COO, Chuck Thompson CLO/CCO, Britney Reddy chief of banking ops/CFO. We've seen A LOT MORE interest in what we're doing, given the environment, & many have expressed a wish that we were already in biz. We're sprinting!
2/ Many know @AvantiBT's CTO, #Bitcoin Core dev @kanzure, who has a track record of building a secure #bitcoin custody platform for @ledgerx + created Bitcoin Vaults (a pre-signed anti-theft recovery & clawback mechanism for bitcoin). He prvsly worked w/ tech partner @Blockstream
3/ Many also know @AvantiBT's Chief Legal Officer/Chief Compliance Officer, Chuck Thompson, who worked w/ @kanzure at @ledgerx. Chuck helped build reg compliance program there + has consulted since. We almost crossed paths at @MorganStanley & have known each other since 2015.
4/ Speaking of @MorganStanley, @AvantiBT's new COO, @zshimko, & I did work together there >5 yrs ago. He has been at Figure & @SALTLending since leaving to pursue his #crypto/lending passions. We shared our #Bitcoin interest while there & kept our heads down abt that at the time!
5/ Chief of Banking Ops/CFO @AvantiBT is Britney Reddy, who's been CEO, Prez, CTO, COO, CFO, CCO & pretty much every job imaginable at #Wyoming community banks. She was recruited by many here in WY. We're lucky to have a core banking innovator on team-I'm thrilled she chose us!🤠

1/ EPIC DOUG AGAIN TODAY☕️No one deserves a victory lap more than Doug for predicting the carnage from burst credit bubble-but he doesn't. Class act. He focuses on what's next. Reading it makes me proud of #Wyoming for enacting a 100% reserve bank charter.
creditbubblebulletin.blogspot.com/2020/03/weekly…
2/ SORRY NEW YORK, the center of finance in US is about to decentralize to places like #Wyoming (yep🤠), which are already in process of standing up new banks w/ pristine balance sheets, carrying no legacy from prior mess. (Disclosure: I'm working to set up one & so are others.)
3/ NEVER HAS THE NEED for new banks w/ pristine balance sheets been clearer. As Doug points out, bubble finance is OVER. Deleveraging isn't done yet. There's no locomotive in the world to enable re-inflation of the prior bubble (nope, not even China-whose debt bubble also burst).

1/ READING MATERIALS from @APompliano podcast:
* putting #coronavirus into historical context (this is how actuaries view flu pandemics...punch line=#COVIDー19 is more contagious but luckily not as deadly as 1918 flu, at least based on what we know now): pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/88283150956…
2/ * lessons of 1920 Depression (as bad as Great Depression 1929-36 but ended in <1 yr, so is rarely talked abt). Lesson: govts/central banks just got out of way & let supply chains fix themselves. US govt paid down debt & Fed did NOTHING--it ended fast.🙏mises.org/library/forgot…
3/ * history books to read (but only if you're ready to learn abt difficult history--DO NOT READ THESE if you're already anxious, bc they may make anxiety worse):
(a) When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson
(b) The Forgotten Man by @AmityShlaes
(c) Debt & Delusion by Peter Warburton

1/ HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN FINANCIAL MKTS. Western world built up a debt bubble of stunning proportions over past ~50yrs. It's deflating now, just as it tried to do in 2008, 2001, 1997, 1994, 1987, 1981 & 1974. Each time, tho, there was enuf balance sheet capacity...
2/ ...to reinflate the system by pumping more debt into it. In other words assets still existed that hadn't yet been encumbered by debt (directly or indirectly)--meaning the countries were SOLVENT. That's why their fiat currencies had value--assets were still available...
3/ ...that lenders didn't yet have a claim upon (ie, assets not yet mortgaged). Important to understand that when debt expands, liquidity grows--& mostly it just pushes up financial asset prices (for vrs. reasons). Reverse is also true. Debt has grown for ~50 CONSECUTIVE years...

A really excellent ”FAQ Friday” webinar from Dublin and Cork about all things #startup and #scaleup at 13h today with @RayNolan @irlTopper of @teamwork @BrianCVC. Here are main points that I took. Osclaím snáithe. 1/18
1/18. A lot more interest now in remote working. @teamwork has always worked this way. Big things are no fightin, no fightin, no fightin in chat. If you must fight do it by phone. Also schedule deep work time when its not allowed to ping each other @irlTopper
2/18. Tough times are great to build culture. Your customers and employees will remember how you treated them in bad times much more than in good. Call people and let them know you care. @irlTopper

lets get this started with an update and detail on $BDI model

as you know I WAS POUNDING THE TABLE IN SEPT/OCT for many reasons re a very strong rally

this model is one of those reasons...& still projects a turn in April May but is not leaning more towards April /1
I will be adding posts to this probably around 20 to 30 charts but it may get to 40 or 50 depending on the day - keep checking back...needless to say there are quite a few troubling things starting to show up in charts which lead me to believe a major high is coming soon /2
I want to say for the record I am now of the view that China is executing a massive distraction and event to cover up a existential financial system crisis domestically.

1st distract
everyone sells panic
then huge stimulus
In April banking system blow up

Coz of different activities and jobs I’ve had to do in my life, I’ve met some interesting people and heard some stories from young women that will surprise you. I went to a conservative community in Sokoto, I couldn’t even enter without a hijab. Check me in a hijab 🧕 👇🏾 THREAD:
I went to Sokoto to document some stories and that was when I was taken to Zuwaira’s home. She lived in a compound with her cousin who’s a third wife to Alhaji Aminu. All wives live in the same compound and Zuwaira seemed reasonably happy to be living there.
I usually talk to people to free them up before they go in front of a camera & talk. Zuwaira took a liking to me coz she loved that we were around the same age & she loved the idea of living in Abuja and traveling to different places for work. In the process, she opened up to me

0/ long thread on the recent @DigixGlobal $DGD to ETH burn proposal that has just ended.

i'll try to make the first bit as factual as possible and leave my bias towards the end.

so, what is this vote about and why is it important?
1/ DGD raised a shit ton of ETH back in 2016

they spent a bit here and there and now have ~400,000 ETH in their DAO treasury

these are the 2 addresses with the ETH

etherscan.io/address/0x75ba…

etherscan.io/address/0x2462…

(394,466 ETH to be exact)
2/ the interesting thing about DigixDAO (DGD) is that since it is a DAO, the majority of the tokenholders can vote to dissolve the DAO and distribute out the assets of the DAO.

with 2M DGD tokens floating around, that works out to roughly 0.197 ETH per DGD token.

Leaders are readers!

When we see this quote, what comes to mind? Books?

Effective, great and intuitive leaders read other things in addition to books, which sets them apart from others.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
1. Leaders are readers of their situation.

In all kinds of circumstances, leaders pick up on details that might elude others.

@JohnCMaxwell #leadership #Accelerate #BeDeliberate #MADIsTheNewCurrency #HRwithEM
They don't need to sift through stats, read reports, or examine a balance sheet. They know the situation before they have all the facts.

#Leadership requires people to stick with you through thick and thin.Leadership is the ability to rally people not for a single event,but for year. In business,leadership means that customers will continue to support your company even when you slip up." #StartWithWhy @simonsinek
"Great leaders, in contrast, are able to inspire people to act. Those who are able to inspire give people a sense of purpose or belonging that has little to do with any external incentive or benefit to be gained." #StartWithWhy by @simonsinek
"After September 11, there were customers who sent checks to Southwest Airlines to show their support. One note that accompanied a check for $1,000 read, “You’ve been so good to me over the years, in these hard times I wanted to say thank you by helping you out.”#StartWithWhy
