"Ive thought about this topic for basically three years now because it has bedeviled me and is even weirder than @Aaryouz notes: globally Bitcoin and crypto arent the political flashpoint that they are here in America. While some prominent left figures have issues with Bitcoin many (such as Varoufakis) at least grant that Ethereum is interesting or has potential. So why is the American left especially skeptical of crypto The cheap answer is Trump bearhugging crypto but the lefts skepticism predates Trumps 23/24 conversion from strong skeptic so thats a minor factor at best.

"It may be seen that moderate inflation (3-4% annually) even outpaced by wage gains is more politically toxic than many of us on the center-left expected in 2011-2020. If thats the lesson from all this it would be very bad for large scale progressive policymaking going forward. Hard to overstate how much damage short-sighted progressives are doing to the larger progressive project by insisting that any inflation is too much REGARDLESS of whether incomes keep pace. Its a brainless retreat to crankdom and despair and it empowers your enemies. Hard to overstate how much damage short-sighted"

"Full analysis coming shortly this afternoon. Here's a teaser: TLDR: The market structure draft is an incremental albeit meaningful rewrite of FIT21 that tightens affiliate sale rules replaces the idea of the SEC certifying decentralization with an ongoing mature blockchain regime and channels exchange oversight through existing alternative trading system infrastructure. Overall this bill again would make the CFTC the dominant crypto regulator but still gives the SEC jurisdiction until a network establishes decentralization. 🚨JUST IN: Discussion draft of market structure bill just dropped"

"There are many ways to read this poll but the core finding to me is this: everything the Biden Admin touched seems to have been viewed as a failure. Trying to say this was just due to bad comms or Biden himself is cope. Biden Admin senior figures should be doing self-criticism or remaining silent for a while not trying to claim senior posts on the Neo resistance. If you got to drive during the last few years its time to take a seat and let some new voices rise up. And if you were senior in the Admin its probably wise to assume your time as a senior official in Democratic politics if over."

"Full analysis coming shortly this afternoon. Here's a teaser: TLDR: The market structure draft is an incremental albeit meaningful rewrite of FIT21 that tightens affiliate sale rules replaces the idea of the SEC certifying decentralization with an ongoing mature blockchain regime and channels exchange oversight through existing alternative trading system infrastructure. Overall this bill again would make the CFTC the dominant crypto regulator but still gives the SEC jurisdiction until a network establishes decentralization. 🚨JUST IN: Discussion draft of market structure bill just dropped"

"There are many ways to read this poll but the core finding to me is this: everything the Biden Admin touched seems to have been viewed as a failure. Trying to say this was just due to bad comms or Biden himself is cope. Biden Admin senior figures should be doing self-criticism or remaining silent for a while not trying to claim senior posts on the Neo resistance. If you got to drive during the last few years its time to take a seat and let some new voices rise up. And if you were senior in the Admin its probably wise to assume your time as a senior official in Democratic politics if over."

"Errant thoughts on a Tuesday morning: 1) The Cook attempted firing will be litigated quickly but not as quickly as folks seem to think. This process will take about few weeks even to wind its way to the Supreme Court on whether the firing will be stayed pending litigation. Cooks vote for Septembers rate meeting will be likely not be officially counted. 2) Any message that this attempted firing is illegitimate isnt breaking through outside of academic/Dem circles. Talking to a few traders Cook claiming two residences as primaries reads as an actual reason to relieve her for cause. The idea"

"Couple of quick thoughts: 1) The real news in this single paragraph decision is that SCOTUS is granting certiorari on the case with a hearing in December 2) Majority didnt give any reasoning for why stay was granted which shouldnt be taken as proof SCOTUS will find for Trump 3) If Trump wins this case its not clear how Dems can have confidence that any Dem Commissioners appointed as part of a deal over legislation or govt funding wont be fired a year a month or a day after being confirmed. 4) On the substance of policy ending minority party Commissioners is dumb.
