Chamath Calls Bitcoin a Nosy Neighbor – But It’s Still Partying at $73K!

In a recent “I’m just saying” moment, Chamath pointed out that Bitcoin’s transparency makes it a bit of a nosy neighbor.

There, he penned a missive, a lamentation wrapped in the guise of an essay, bemoaning the state of his creation. “Ethereum,” he wrote, “stands idly by as the world writhes under the boot of surveillance, war, and corporate tyranny.

Backpack’s Bold Gambit: IPO Access for the Masses, or Mere Folly?

Backpack, already a name whispered with a mixture of admiration and skepticism for its management of fee-free FTX creditor claims and its acquisition of FTX EU’s assets (a move that has restored licensed trading in Europe, though whether this is a triumph or a mere stopping of the bleeding remains to be seen), now ventures further into uncharted waters.
