NFT Marketplaces: Aggregation, Centralisation & Individuation?
I have been thinking a lot recently about how NFT marketplaces will evolve, especially as it feels like every other deck I see is some form of marketplace.

I don’t currently have a conclusion but this is how I am viewing the different options and issues facing the NFT Marketplace space. Problem - There are SO ...
Defi Dives: Ribbon Protocol
Disclaimer I am a member of Ribbon DAO and use the protocol. None of what I say here should be taken as investment advice, this is simply an examination of how the platform works.I want to start doing some dives into Defi protocols and products. This can be as much a learning opportunity for me as you dear reader. It gives me a chance to break down topics into concepts easier to understand and examine for those of us who aren’t far right on the IQ bell curve (I know where I am located…hint it...
Sol Breakpoint 2021
First of all, let’s get the important stuff out of the way… GMMy fav piece of ‘merch’ all week 😂 thank you Slope & the dude walking around with these in his hair. I was lucky enough to attend Sol Breakpoint in Lisbon this year. I was there on a personal and professional basis both as an angel investor and to represent New Finance :)I wanted to write a bit about my experience, to share my views with others and also, for my own sake, document the event. To share some of the interesting compani...

Satoshi Nakamoto was open to the idea of other coins.
Hal Finney: Satoshi, are you endorsing the idea that additional block chains would each create their own flavor of coins, which would trade with bitcoins on exchanges? These chain-specific coins would be used to reward miners on those chains, and to purchase some kinds of rights or privileges within the domain of that chain?
Satoshi: Right, the exchange rate between domains and bitcoins would float.
Why do BTC maxis defend Bitcoin with a religious fervor that the founder didn’t seem to have?
Why are they closed off to the notion that other ideas or experiments with blockchains can have merit?
Immutabiltiy = good
Programmability also = good
Interesting
