As Goldman has pivoted to retail to grow its deposit base and fund it's balance sheet

Barclays Jes Staley runs in opposite direction 🤦‍♂️
Even though it's uk retail bank did well it's pulled out of retail banking expansion
Strategy of sticking to what you know whether the market wants it or not isn't smart
The investors who brought in McFarlane to oust Jenkins must be feeling their mistake in their Portfolios

Am loving @peepethApp code of conduct, all of the interactions with it are likeable. 🙌

It's really cool that this real world service will run with any front end, anyone can fork it, and its truly resilient. This is how to explain what decentralisation is...
My only complaint is the obvious slowness of confirmations to @IPFSbot and @ethereum (must be some way to mask that for the user) and the lack of instant follows / gratification

@ricburton - I imagine @Balance_io folks could think of ways to make that possible?
The user experience is still a little bare bones, but it has a likeability that's hard to put my finger on. It's been built with ❤️

With decentralised exchanges now all the rage we have to learn the lessons of centralised exchanges

1) user experience has to be better
2) performance has to be better
3) don't fight the law

Expanded below...
1) User experience is just awful on most centralised exchanges. There's no excuse for bad human centric design in 2018.

Who is the customer? What does crypto mean in their life? What job are they trying to get done?

Learn from the best in #fintech
2) Performance

I'm not sure how a Dapp can perform better than a centralised system but the big exchanges are SO bad it's not a high bar to leap over...

@0xProject gives me hope, but the proof is in the testing

Web scale performance remains illusive in decentraland

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

UK credit rating at risk if it fails to pay Brexit bill. UK gov source confirms threat is a bluff. But Brussels thinks it is all for the domestic audience. A dangerous game w/ repurcussions for Global Britain & trade
Latest from me @Annaisaac & a thread telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/…
Moody's told Anna that welching on the bill would shred UK credibility and that damage is already being done to investment and trade prospects. This was after Dominic Raab's op-ed 2/

A senior UK gov source told me the threat was part of a game of chicken to convince the EU we were serious about no deal.
