Thread: Maple Finance Update

With the 180* turnaround in regulatory/political environment, I firmly believe we are on the cusp of an absolute defi renaissance...

And there are few projects more emblematic of this and more poised to benefit than @maplefinance.

As background, Maple was founded by gigabrain savants @syrupsid and @joe_defi.

They saw the superiority of blockchain-based financial rails very early, and launched Maple as a result.

One: Get some simple lifting equipment

Most people vastly overestimate the need to go to a gym...

But he did not allow himself to marinate in depression, or numb his pain with pleasure/vice/etc...

He rather fled towards the hard frontier out West, in what was then Dakota Territory... ceaselessly repeating his mantra "Get action... Get action..."

19/x And we can extend this concept to the realm of art as well...

It is said that the greatest inspiration behind The Lord Of The Rings was Tolkien's lifelong grief over the loss of both his parents as a child, and two of his closest friends in WWI (which he also fought in)...

Thread: Thoughts On Life And The Transmutation Of Pain

So this is a long, meandering schizo thread...

But it starts with a story involving a family I once knew...

1/x





This family- who I'll call the N's- lived in a small, extremely derelict trailer park way out in the woods (example type images below)...

This was hardcore, radical, American-gothic style poverty... beyond that which most people in the US will ever see...

Thread: 10 Utterly Brilliant Crypto/Macro Crossover Thinkers You Should Be Following In 2024

🧵

One good thing about all the cross-market carnage the last two years is that it very much cemented the fact that crypto is macro and macro is crypto...

1/x

The recent ETF approvals and coming Circle IPO further illustrate this...

And as time passes and crypto slowly eats the tradfi financial rails (see the esteemed Larry Fink below for more on this :) ), they will converge more and more...

When I was growing up, one of my best friends was a Mormon kid named JS... (cont)...

JS was the youngest of 6 siblings, and because his family lived near the local elementary + high school, I often hung out at his house in the evenings after football/baseball/etc practice, and would, as a result- very occasionally- see his father, RS.

Thread: 10 Reasons Why Crypto Will 10x In The Coming Years

🧵

All of last year we heard proclamations regarding crypto's demise, yet it has remained resilient...

In that vein... here's ten reasons why it will not only survive but thrive, and 10x in the coming years :)

1/x One: Stablecoins

Stablecoins have clearly demonstrated themselves as the 'sticky use case' of crypto at this point.

There is a massive worldwide demand for dollars especially... and stables are increasingly serving that need...

Thread: My Friend JF, Who Would Have Been An OG Bitcoin Whale

🧵

Back in the day, in my first year of college, I became good friends with a dude named JF...

We were both from the opposite (more rural) side of the state, and bonded over that, and other shared interests...

1/x I was a bit of a boisterous redneck jock type at the time, but JF was the opposite... exceptionally polite, softspoken, and introspective.

Indeed, he was one of the kindest, most decent guys I have ever met.

Thread: Some Thoughts On Privacy, Defi, And Adoption

🧵

Encrypting important information has been a concern of us humans since the dawn of written history...

1/x The Spartan's scytale devices, Da Vinci's cryptex, James Jay's invisble ink in the Revolutionary War...

All of these are historical antecedents of what we see in crypto today, so far most notably via innovations such as Monero, Tornado Cash, etc.

Thread: 10 Ridiculously Smart People On Crypto-Twitter Who You Should Be Following

One of the main reasons I am in brypto is that I un-ironically believe it has attracted the greatest minds of our generation...

1/x Indeed, I am continually blown away by the intellectual capital one encounters here.

Its probably easy to miss the significance of this if you are just starting out, but from my vantage point the sheer amount of knowledge/intelligence/creativity/etc is mind blowing...

Or will the 'Powell pause' usher in a renaissance in meme stocks and monkey jpegs?!?

And we currently find ourselves in a truly fascinating situation macro-wise (to say the least).

Here's some random thoughts on all the craziness...

Thread: Why The Intellectually-Curious Will Dominate The 2020's

One of my favorite parts of The Lord Of The Rings is where Gandalf goes to Minas Tirith to search the depths of its archives for information on the Ring Of Power...

1/x He ultimately finds a lost account of the one ring, written in Isildur's own hand, long forgotten by the latter day men of Gondor...

For, despite having this vast trove of ancient books and manuscripts, no one in the city has delved through them for hundreds of years...
