gm ♥️ #web3 @FoldableHuman accuses us of “toxic positivity” in his popular video… With this thread I prove him wrong: some of us do critically appraise FUD.
(2 / 6) I know what you’re thinking, “look at his smug face”, but within 2h of overtly biased hate-filled rambling, he made some good points, but his conclusions are wrong - they do not prove we will fail, they just suggest how we might improve.
(3 / 6) Ethereum's premine - levels of centralized ownership, "376 whales control 33% of the circulating supply in 2019". blog.chainalysis.com/reports/the-ec…
(4 / 6) Ethereum Foundation - not really a DAO, centralized power with the ability to make fundamental decisions through an opaque process (e.g. The DAO episode).
(6 / 6) DeFi regulations: the SEC understands and appreciates innovation and efficiency, but they are concerned with structural risks. Memo suggested by @saylor on the @cobie podcast sec.gov/news/statement…

If you enjoyed yesterday's thread, that was really just a starter. Here I draw out the real issues with NFTs, taken from @FoldableHuman 's video.

(3 / 10) Vulnerability of tokens pointing to images (or other data) stored on off-chain servers and accessible through HTTP.
Even if stored on peer-to-peer servers like IPFS, tokens are not cryptographically linked to the data.
This thief is raking in victims by the minute, with no sign of slowing down.
Please retweet and warn the #NFT community. etherscan.io/address/0xe7b8…
The silver lining is this gave me an amazing idea...
(2 / 12) I saw a Discord dm, thought it was an announcement, I was distracted, clicked mint. I know, I know, the opposite of what you're supposed to do - I feel your judgement...
(3 / 12) As I reflected on my faith in #web3, I had to consider if #crypto would truly manage to self-regulate, and that's when I had the 💡 moment. Web2 does it all the time: ask users to provide their own opinions (e.g. likes, thumbs-up, stars...).
