For years, labor in education was mis-priced.
Why? There was no free market.
With everyone stuck at home, we will push education from socialism to capitalism.
Teachers will be recruited to the "it" ed platforms. But, the real winners will be free agents, productize themselves.
As education moves beyond geographic restraints in an online world, the marketplace for great teachers is about to heat up.
Teachers will finally get paid what they are worth.

The "digital dollar" proposal is not about digitization. Dollars are already digital. Banks have digital $ fed accts. Consumers have digital $ bank accts.
Read: Digital dollar is about accounts, not dollars. Every consumer will get direct access to a Fed Account.
🚨 WARNING 👇
The proposal to create consumer digital dollar fed accounts is about removing banks as intermediary dollar dispensaries.
Meaning the Fed can QE directly into consumer accts rather than needing to coordinate through multiple banks and banking cores.

“The project needs to grow gradually so the software can be strengthened along the way. I make this appeal to Wikileaks not to try to use BTC. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy."

Centralized exchanges are fast but hackable and present systematic risk to the market.
Hashflow is a L2 solution for ETH:BTC that solves these problems.

Ethereum EIP seeks 20% developers’ reward akin to Zcash.
In the age of “fair launches” that forgot to pay developers + Moloch attempts to entice donations, it’s clear that people finally get that paying miners is not enough for long term sustainability of open-sourced projects.
Incentive protocols must pay each type of worker to ensure long-term sustainability.

This is not portfolio theory.
This is a narrative on the evolution of the internet
...and how you invest in it.
Let me explain 👇
Internet made information cheap and free.

Pro Tip: When signing a letter on co. letterhead but don't want to be associated w/ the statements, stand by the statements, or be liable to a 3rd party:
1-Do not print your name;
2-Do not legibly sign your name;
3-Write for ambiguity; and
4-Address to 1 person or no one.

:1: Yes! Great crypto-lawyer minds think a like. I was just about to tweet this.
If a security token later decentralizes, it is no longer a security because there is no common enterprise issuer.

:2: Yesterday, I tweeted that $XRP was a security + Ripple Co was the issuer due to centralization.
It was kind of popular.

Whoa. If Ripple Co. really thinks paying to get XRP listed is not centralization of a cryptocurrency and/or a "common enterprise" a security, I think very soon they will be proven wrong.
Time to finish that medium post I keep ignoring.
