3 hard truths about Grayscale:

1 - They're NOT damn gobbling up all of BTC's supply.

~80% of the money it reportedly pulls in do not make up for any buy pressure.

(proof attached) 👇 In-kind contribution = a share is created, priced at NAV, eligible for tax-benefits + for resale on secondary markets after 6mo., priced at NAV + premium

That's a fancy way of saying you can inject BTC into a time machine and withdrawal it 6 months later with a ~20% surplus.

15 Things I Learned in Bitcoin's 3rd Epoch 🧵👇

(that may or may not help you in its 4th)

1/

They said it was too late in 2011. In 2013. 2016 and 2019.

It's not too late. The best day to buy bitcoin is today.

Be patient. You are witnessing the birth of a new form of money. 2/

Runescape lessons: the surest way to get rich is to stop playing for a while.

OG wisdom was: if you've managed to snag a limited edition item (e.g. a Santa Hat), go away for a couple of years - when you return, it'll be worth orders of magnitude more.

Same applies to BTC.

🌊 A “stock-to-flow debacle” has taken crypto-twitter by storm.

The meme achieved superior performance in nocoiner conversion…

…and flooded your timeline with 🔢math, 💎minerals and 🔥heated opinions you may not understand.

Time to slash FUD and review some of the #stats: S2F is a measure of scarcity applied to commodities.

“in how many yrs, at current production levels (flow), will the market add *new assets* equivalent to all current outstanding assets (stock)?”

@TraceMayer, @Saifedean flirted w/ applying it to BTC...

Many dismiss Filecoin for "taking years" after one of the biggest ICOs ever.

I actually think @protocollabs is doing a great job at

(1) consistently shipping;
(2) attracting world-class talent;
(3) orchestrating a big team at a fast pace;
(4) getting their stuff used!

👇 2/

@protocollabs is likely among the best funded open source efforts in history (cc @devonzuegel).

They’ve brought to life @IPLDbot, @Multiformats, @IPFSbot, @libp2p and, now, @MineFilecoin.

The ICO financed the latter. But also a massive push for a more distributed web.

1/ 📝 Just published “Visions of Ether” on #tokeneconomy. The article goes through major narratives that have shaped the growth of Ethereum over the years, inspired by @nic__carter and @hasufl’s previous work on Bitcoin.

tokeneconomy.co/visions-of-eth… 2/ TL;DR: nobody knows about everything. The complexity of society is irreducible. We cling to mental models that satisfy our thirst for understanding a given phenomenon, and stick to groups who identify with similar narratives.
