FDIC’s Blockchain Gambit: Can Banks Save Us From Ourselves? 🤑💻

by

“A deposit is a deposit,” Hill intoned, as if reciting a mantra to ward off madness. Whether it rests in a vault or on a blockchain, it must retain its value and protections, he insisted. One imagines the FDIC as a weary monk, now tasked with insuring digital tokens instead of dusty coins. The upcoming guidance, they say, will clarify how insured tokenized deposits might function. Clarify? Perhaps. Resolve the deeper existential crisis of whether money can truly exist without a physical form? Never.

Where Winds Meet Review

Wow, the first few minutes of Where Winds Meet totally blew me away! The prologue isn’t heavy on actual gameplay – it’s mostly quick-time events and a short boss fight – but it’s an incredible cinematic experience. The music is fantastic, and the graphics are absolutely stunning. It honestly felt like I was in a movie like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or House of Flying Daggers. It’s a breathtaking start, but sadly, the game tries to do too much, and that ultimately holds it back from being truly great.

Hougan frames the development within his long-running meta thesis that crypto is “going to reinvent the fundamental aspects of finance.” He highlights Bitcoin as “reinventing gold,” stablecoins as “reinventing dollars,” and tokenization as “reinventing trading and settlement.” He stresses that crypto remains early in each cycle but says the endgame is already visible: “I expect that eventually most assets will be tokenized, most dollars will move on stablecoin rails, and bitcoin will be as widely accepted as gold.” 🪙✨
