Ethereum and Bitcoin's strength comes from distributing power among enough people so that no single person or entity can deprive users of their assets or their freedom to control them. Or in short: Decentralization. The guarantee of controlling your own assets -- that's what attracts people. People DO care about that once they realize it's achievable. For a while decentralization was an obstacle to better UX low fees and speed. That was in the past. Today we"

"๐งก It's been X weeks since we launched BTCFi on Starknet which in crypto time feels like X months and Im still absolutely bullish on the whole thing. Bitcoin needs to be unlocked. Bitcoin holders need a secure way not just to store their BTC but to utilize it: Leverage it stake it lend it borrow against it. And Starknet is doing just that by creating a whole DeFi layer for Bitcoin. Im bullish. ๐งก"

"Privacy privacy privacy: Everyone now is a Privacy expert. Great So. Let me explain a few things as someone who's spent quite a lot of time thinking about privacy and building stuff that's actually used in the world (not just in tweets or academic papers ๐). There are all kinds of privacy and they don't all look the same feel the same or work the same. Here's an explanation on what's easy what's hard and what's the right way to get privacy done. What's easy: Creating ZK proofs for various transactions is easy (thank you StarkWare). You can't yet create ZK proofs on standard hardware wallets"

"Privacy: Who needs it and who doesn't As "godfather of ZK" (as some people referred to me) I've spent a lot of time thinking reading learning arguing about privacy on blockchain. Here's what I think about who needs it and who doesn't. Who doesn't need it If: Blockchain is just an investment/speculation/side activity place for you + The scale at which you operate is small ($100K) + You live in a free society If that's ๐ you then you don't need privacy. Why X. In crypto you're considered a small fish ( $100K). No one will try to single you out and go after you specifically when bigger whales"

Problem: Bitcoin is flawed -- it's static it's only hodled not financialized in the Way of Satoshi. What's the path forward Conviction 1: DEX will flip CEX. Bitcoin's financialization -- in the true Satoshi and Bitcoin way -- will happen on a Bitcoin L2 that will have these features: Secure cheap smooth mature and scalable. Important: It will be an L2 that shares Bitcoin's mission for freedom and security. Conviction 2: Winner takes most Among the many Bitcoin L2s one will provide it"

"General thought: @Zcash which I co-founded a long time ago and is based on the Zerocash paper I co-authored (even longer ago) is receiving a lot of attention. I love it ๐ Taking a step back the renewed interest and the price action still fit my general thesis about crypto which goes like this: Crypto doesn't have global product market fit yet but it attracts a lot of attention and speculation and has things (tokens) that people can buy to act on their beliefs. This means that speculation will drive time and again the NEW BIG THING that everyone will be talking about. A short list of some"

"I'll repeat my opinion on corpo chains: They won't last. The important element of blockchain is a system that gets rid of a central entity. It comes at a cost: A very complex technology that's hard to build and hard to use. Even if we apply AA to create simplified UX the tech under the hood is still very complex. Now several corporates want to have their own blockchain. In a way this is great. It means blockchains are no longer this scary thing anymore. But are these corporates aligned with getting rid of their position as a central entity They can't. Fast forward a few years: Corporate"

I know many of the previous and existing OGs of crypto from way before they were OGs. I explained ZK to Bitcoin OGs and to Vitalik (back when he was a reporter of Bitcoin Magazine).
