Attached: 1 image Block which renamed itself from Square to rebrand itself as a blockchain platform is winding down its blockchain platform efforts. It’s now clear that there is little value in blockchains and crypto as a technology platform. Crypto has found a niche as a form of speculative assets for financial risk takers and a tool for moving money around while avoiding regulation (e.g. ransomware payments, foreign remittances, etc). https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/11/08/jack-dorsey-dramatically-shutters-blocks-tbd-crypto-unit.html

When it came time to reckon with social media’s failings, nobody ran to the “web3” platforms. Nobody asked “can I get paid per message”? Nobody asked about the blockchain. The community of people …

if you buy a donut and get a receipt, and the donut itself gets stolen and eaten, you still have the same asset because the receipt still exists, nothing has changed

The creator of a memecoin-turned-top cryptocurrency says his interactions with Elon Musk didn't impress him, and predicted that crypto is still headed for a big crash.

"not much" is glossing over the fact that binance's luna holdings, which were nominally worth $1.6 billion, are now worth $2,900

With crypto crashing, hopefully to zero, we have a potential ~0.1 Gt-CO2 per year savings in greenhouse gas emissions on the table. Cool. That’s 10,000x larger than all the world’s carbon capture technologies to date. And it could happen immediately.

Really wonder how Matt Damon, Lebron, Spike Lee, Larry David, etc feel or will feel when this is all over. This ain't like selling someone a product. They straight up convinced naive fans of theirs who admire and trust them to be bag holders. How does that not weigh on your soul?

And let’s not forget how thanks to the nature of DeFi, inside jobs are just as plausible as an attack. If you develop a protocol, would you not be tempted to leave a small door to make off with tens of millions, and never be charged with any crimes? It’s so tempting.

Stealing $100M in diamonds is a criminal act, and those committing it were caught and imprisoned. Exploiting $80M via a DeFi protocol is… not even stealing, apparently? No police involved, and all the DeFi protocol can do is… ask nicely to return the money:

We’re engaging all efforts to try to move forward. As a decentralized project, we are asking the DeFi community and experts in chain analytics to help us limit the exploiter's ability to withdraw funds via CEXes. If the exploiter is open to a discussion, we are as well. twitter.com/losslessdefi/s…

Is it considered stealing if the attacker goes by the rules coded in the protocol? DeFi is learning the lessons the rest of the finance industry has done so the past ~100 years, and put guardrails against them. All I can say it’s very profitable to exploit DeFi right now:

Crypto tokens are going to be around for a while and sadly for the wrong reasons. This stuff is being pushed like penny stocks and lottery tickets; not some revolutionary monetary system.

They’re really really putting millions of dollars into trying to get you to feel FOMO over crypto, huh? Can you think of a reasonable, worthwhile, durable investment that they had to beg regular folks to participate in?

If cryptocurrencies are actually money, why do we need Super Bowl ads using FOMO to sell them? I’ve never seen prime time ads about buying Euros, Yuan or Yen.

With inflation at 7.5%, you lose half your money in 9 years. The only way to outperform that consistently, that I have found, is crypto. Just this year I’ve already lost half my money.
