Why does my brain do this to me? Supposed to be working... instead fixated on the implications of the migration from to

1) In case ye didn't know: migration ratio = 100:1. Every 100 LEND will get you 1 AAVE.
2) Current supply of = 1.3 billion, so we should see a cap of 13 million .

But no...

Instead, we'll see an extra 3 million enter the world via the pliable birth canal that is the blockchain for a total of 16 million Image
3) The whole thing feels like a little wand-waving to conjure 30% more supply out of thin air...

4) Oh yeah, with the added "bonus" of turning the token into the "insurance" fund in the event of a catastrophic failure. Thanks for the additional risk lol
5) Sounds lame so far, but it ain't. There's good news. The new supply won't flood the market

Governance will say how to use it... some will be held to secure the system. The rest will be for enticements to help grow
6) My takeaways: I like the optics/ease of a smaller circulating supply

16 million is just easier to grok than a random-ass 1.3 billion .
7) My brutally-honest takeaway (like I've been drinking too much):

Print that fucking money !

Oh yeah. Make the system grow! We all know you came along too early to benefit from yield farming

(instead other yield farming platforms benefitted from you!)
7.5) Now, though, with those extra tokies, should be able to create some right proper incentives to pour fuel on its already 🔥 growth trajectory.
8) More: Everyone feels like #defi is growing insanely and they seem to think $10 billion locked is a huge deal

Me thinks that's the smallest little mound of 🥜 imaginable relative to where this is all going
9) Even within #DeFi itself, $10 billion locked isn't much. It's less than 3% of the total market cap of ALL cryptos.

We could be at 10% of the total market (about $35 billion) by the end of the year...
10) Say we hit $35 billion total locked in DeFi. If keeps the 3rd place slot and the ratios don't change, it will have $5 billion+ locked

Current MC = 43% of total locked
10.5) If that stays the same when they have $5 billion locked, will be worth $2.15 billion or $134 per token (that's about $1.65 per token or a gain of about 200%)
11) Of course, I think things like are going to be what brings the COMMON MAN into our nerdy little club. So $5 billion locked seems like a sandbagger's goal. Even the 100th largest bank in the U.S. has 3x that amount!
11.5) Seriously. No. 100 = City National Bank of Florida in Miami with $16 billion in assets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l…

12) Aave is a protocol. It's not a company, so it's not fair to compare it to a bank.

It will hold so much more than a fucking bank.
13) Closing words (I promise):

is still in its pre-pubescent days. It has pimples. It gets a woody even thinking about holding a girl's hand. One night, we will go to bed and will be a cute little boy. We will wake up in the morning and it will be a man.
14) will have $50 billion locked. It will literally shut down some of the banks on that Top 100 list. It will integrate with the rest

15) I need to get back to work

16) Keep your head down, @StaniKulechov You're an inspiration

17) Peace, love and alpha, my frens

1/ Crypto has consumed my life for more than a decade. I thought it had made me a single-issue voter.

So I got my early voting ballot… filled it out for Trump and stuck it in the mailbox just after sunset. The next morning, I went to the mailbox, removed it...
2/ ...and threw it in the trash 🗑️. As much as I want crypto adoption to go parabolic, I honestly can’t believe our choices are down to:

👉 A man who attempted to end two centuries of peaceful power transitions by demanding his VP subvert democracy
3/ 👉 A woman whose platform is essentially "no" to crypto, "no" to tech, "no" to innovation—while saying "yes" to censorship and ideological control (aka wokism)

Neither is “American” in spirit.

LLMs & @truth_terminal are actively altering my worldview & how insane I think the crypto/AI bubble will become. Thoughts:

1. One could argue crypto users are the tip of humanity’s spear. We explore the digital frontiers and often see economic/tech truths before the public. Image
2. If a crypto trader stays in the game long enough, he learns all about "approximate truths"… i.e. he buys his first coin and thinks it will rule them all. That maxi-ism often forces him to ignore the notion that any other coin will be successful.
3. Then, life (i.e. losing money) hits him like a pipe wrench. And the longer he's in the shitcoin trenches, the more apparent it becomes that we are all Jon Snow (we “know nothing”). Truth is not truth after all.

Our professions are our moorings. They're the pillars that help us build identity. From them, we get a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

But what happens when that purpose disappears?

🧵 1/13
2/ As AI + robotics accelerate, the moorings grow unstable. Our jobs are at risk. And that in turn, puts our houses, food and healthcare at risk, too.

It's both exhilarating and scary AF.
3/ AI is exhilarating because we approach an era of abundance.

Imagine food planted, grown, harvested, packaged + delivered by humanoid robots. Zero human involvement until the moment of consumption.

1/ When Edward @Snowden spoke at Bitcoin2024 last week, he asked a question that lodged like a tumor in my brain. To paraphrase:

“Does the world and the U.S. election feel normal to you?”

When he was a kid, he said... 🧵👇Image
2/ ... presidents were people you looked up, people you admired and aspired to be like.

Do these candidates fit the bill? Do they represent the best of us?

If so, wtf happened to us?
3/ Something’s off, he argues, and he points to the algos that subtly manipulate us on X, TikTok, Insta, FB and beyond.

For all their benefits, they’ve ultimately pitted us against one another in a competition for likes.

Raw braindump on Bitcoin2024:

1. Nashville marks the end of the cypherpunk phase. #bitcoin now plays the game of thrones

2. RFK’s speech was 10x better than Trump's. This could split the die-hard crypto vote between Trump and RFK and potentially jeopardize Trump’s bid 🧵👇 Image
3. There were murmurs of bitcoin replacing all fiat. That’s always been the vision, but it’s taken a backseat to the "digital gold" narrative

Look for "bitcoin as money" to gain strength… esp. if some govts reclassify $BTC as legal tender (& ditch the retardio cap gains tax)
4. With clearer regs and reclassification, payroll providers, could make it far easier for companies to pay (all or a portion of) their worker salaries in sats, which is probably the single most important factor in driving adoption

1/ Crypto’s next massive narrative stares us in the face… it’s not the election, Solana memecoins, restaking or gaming. It’s bigger than all those combined

It’s AI + crypto 🧵👇 Image
2/ And it’s not just that AI will work better on crypto rails than tradfi rails, it’s that AI will work better on a decentralized web as well

In other words, AI + crypto are rearchitecting modern finance AND the internet itself
3/ First, finance:

AI won’t have sufficient access to TradFi rails. That system is too opaque, trustful, slow and over-regulated
