Here are some tips I send to people coming on my show to help them prepare.

It is a good thing to remember if you are doing a recording to help you relax.

More on relaxing below.

Who is to blame for the @Wonderland_fi debacle?

@0xSifu
@danielesesta?
@zachxbt?
The community?

A 🧵 on who created the train wreck & what we can learn from it as an industry to make it better. 1/ As you can see from the screen cap, there are strong opinions among 🐸 nation as to who is to blame.

In some ways, the complexity of the situation makes it very difficult.

These are just my opinions. I was an investor, but not active. My assumptions could be wrong.

1/ Looks like Ari touched a nerve.

Devs prefer Ethereum, but fees killing it. July may bring help, but maybe not enough. It's a crazy tight window.

The question is will Ethereum get them back before the investment/user uptake elsewhere makes it more difficult. 2/ The task for @0xPolygon, @NEARProtocol, #BSC, @solana, etc. is to give devs enough power & capability to make them invest more now, so that the lock is tighter if/when Ethereum solves their issues.

Yes, Polygon is L2, but might as well be its own with their forward vision.

Analysis - mail-in voter fraud. Please retweet!

How to answer if somebody tells you that Democrats stole the election with fake mail-in ballots. Feel free to use anywhere you like. No attribution necessary.

Ask them which state is the best example of

#YangGang [02/16]
where this fraud occurred.
Example: Pennsylvania
What percentage of the mail-in ballots were faked?
Do the math, would that change the outcome of the election?
OK, so you say that 10% of the mail-in ballots were fraudulent.(redo the math if they say less)
2.5 million

1/ #YangGang, thank you for your messages of concern. Below is an email I sent to my dr that can't treat us because #Covid19 test results take 7 days here. We are a day or 2 away from day 7 when most that go to hospital go. I hope it is all in our heads, but doesn't feel like it. 2/ "We are just 2 cases, but thought it might be useful to know what we are experiencing as you talk to other patients.

Recent data suggests Zinc can help in coronavirus cases & we started daily Zicam & multi-vitamins 2 wks ago.

We've been walking in the sun regularly.

1/ #MyYangStory #ISupportYang #YangGang

I have a unique perspective on this election. I started my career managing political campaigns, but after about 8 years of it, I burned out and decided my last campaign was going to be electing Bill Clinton. 2/ It was an amazing experience and I got to host Bill and Hillary at a rally the night after the final debate that really clinched the election.

I felt then as I do now, that I was doing something to change the world for the better.
