We started @CryptoKitties to bring decentralization to the mainstream

Today the world's greatest ball player joins our movement

cryptokitties.co/stephen-curry

Meet #CurryKitties, the first ever sports collectibles with ownership and authenticity secured by the blockchain 🏀💎
The new @CryptoKitties include three one-of-a-kind "Exclusives" with unique artwork that are only available from @StephenCurry30 through our official auction-house – the first is up for sale now

One will be a limited edition "Fancy" Kitty to be discovered by our players 😻
Fun fact: the most valuable baseball card in history (the T206 Honus Wagner card) was also one of the world's first. Through booms and busts of the baseball card market, that piece of cardboard has maintained its value and place in history, selling in 2016 for US$3.12 million
There are 50-200 T206 Honus Wagner cards in existence (compared to tens or hundreds of thousands of other T206 cards) – we don't actually know for sure. Attempted forgeries of the T206 Honus Wagner are common, with a water test usually needed to verify authenticity.
Blockchain assets come out of the box with guarantees of ownership, authenticity, scarcity, and chain of custody.

Also out of box: access to an unprecedented global marketplace and payment infrastructure. You can send your #CurryKitty anywhere as easily as a bitcoin 🌏

Mass consumer experiences are coming to the blockchain 🎮

I'm excited to announce I'm judging the @Ubisoft blockchain hackathon next month on behalf of @CryptoKitties with Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft’s legendary founder and CEO

Tweetstorm below ⤵️
Games have been the key driver for mainstream consumer adoption of every platform from Doom and PCs to Farmville and Facebook – blockchain will be no different

Games teach new behaviors to consumers and are a forcing function for technological innovation all through the stack
.@CryptoKitties is the first blockchain game. Each Kitty is a unique collectible artform born and raised on the blockchain; an ethereal anti-Westworld where the rules of the game are published transparently in programs called Smart Contracts (PSA: neither smart nor contracts!)

Token economies recognize and reward fans and evangelists, making them integral participants not just spectators. In a sense, any token economy is a "joint venture" between the developers / creators of the platform and the community of consumers they seek to serve.
In an ideal end-state, cryptocurrencies / crypto-collectibles / digital assets crystallize cultural value into liquid token economies, giving end-user communities a tradable currency whose financial value should reflect the strength of the bonds that keep them together.
Non-fungible crypto-collectibles (#ERC721) are even more powerful in this context than cryptocurrencies. Non-fungibles create incredibly rich surface area for the community to engage; games and play jump-start the imagination in a way purely financial tokens never could.

Midway through Ronald Kahn's wonderful book 'The Future of Investment Management'.

The 1st half is solely focused on the evolution of investment management through the last 4 millennia.

And rightly so. Because #history matters.

A quick summary below.

[Retweet if helpful]
Investing as we know it today did not exist before the stock market crash of 1929 & the Great Depression that followed.

Slack regulations, inadequate company disclosures & the general inability to systematically analyse investments kept most investors out of the market.
This state of affairs, however, was soon changed by gurus like Graham, Dodd, Markowitz, Sharpe, Burr, Ross, & others who provided a systematic framework to analyse securities, define risk, & efficiently manage portfolios.

I began my formal research in 1999, eight years after battling my way out of a secret, so-called #Marxist-#Leninist group whose leader controlled my life in its most intimate details.

He determined what I wore: a version of the advice in John Molloy’s bestseller Dress for Success (1975), featuring tailored blue suits and floppy red silk bowties. More significantly, he decided when I could marry, and whether I might have children.

Fight Back Against Campus Leftism! powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/… via @powerlineUS
No one who reads this site needs to be told that far leftists dominate America’s college campuses and are warping the minds of a generation of young people. The question is, what can we do about it?
On Monday evening, Alan Dershowitz delivered a stirring defense of free speech to an audience of 770 at an event sponsored by my organization, Center of the American Experiment.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
