1/ @stripe just pulled back the curtain on @tempo, its corporate blockchain, and the pitch is a classic. You get an all-star team, state-of-the-art tech, an impressive roster of partners—including one of the card networks the whole thing is designed to replace—and "neutrality."
Bazaar vs cathedral, but for payments: x402 (open) vs Stripe (closed). Permissionless composability or curated reliability? x.com/patrickc/statu…

1/ @TheEconomist called the theory of disruption "one of the most influential modern business ideas". And yet the data stubbornly refuses to cooperate. x.com/business/statu…

3/ True disruption is extremely rare, and incumbents catch up more often than we’d like to think. They control distribution, and inertia is a powerful selling proposition.

1/ Washington's GENIUS Act promises to finally bring back competition to money movement, but a blind spot threatens to crown a single superpower instead. The situation is a modern replay of a 19th-century fight over about two feet of iron... 🛤️
9/ The choice is simple: build an open highway for all, or pave a faster road to a single kingdom.

The stronger baseline argument for ASI risk: it won't hate us, it will just optimize—on a goal we couldn't properly constrain. We're the ant hill in the path of a skyscraper, the rounding error in an objective function we didn't fully understand. x.com/joshgans/statu…

No H1B visas? No CEO of @Microsoft. No CEO of @Google. No CEO of @Tesla / @SpaceX. How many of America’s top founders, inventors, and scientists came here on H-1B? The question isn't about immigration. It's about whether the next great American company will be American at all.
Call stablecoins bank‑like and the drama evaporates. Except at banks, where it’s called market share. If a tokenized T‑bill is better risk/return than checking or savings, the mystery isn’t the stablecoin nor financial stability. It’s the bank. x.com/StaniKulechov/…

1/ A classic choice in finance is whether you make your money from the rules, or from the gaps between them. x.com/Tether_to/stat…

2/ Tether, which arguably built an empire on the latter, is now aiming for leadership in the former via GENIUS Act compliance. It’s a brilliant strategic shift, and one that completely reframes the competitive landscape.
Censorship resistance is vital in Nepal‑style protests. But it also fixes a much more boring problem: platform risk. Permissionless infrastructure is a commitment device—the rules don’t flip after you win, and no single CorpChain intermediary can claw back what you've built.
I truly believe @zcabrams & @matthuang are sincere about this. The problem is that sincerity doesn't suspend economic gravity and incentives for a new L1. We ran this exact experiment with Libra—the physics are unforgiving. x.com/zcabrams/statu…

I love this thread. Required reading.

The only thing that truly separates crypto from the systems it aims to replace is that it's permissionless. Full stop.
