2/ @cburniske shared a @DAR_crypto report highlighting that small caps were performing much worse than large caps in the bear market – a reminder that you can’t hunt diamonds-in-the-rough in good times and expect it not to get ruff in bad times. https://t.co/PMT8zLQ11E

4/ One implication of this question is how funds construct their portfolios (and what the market identifies as beta vs. alpha returns). @AriannaSimpson asked who was writing about this and the thread that followed now serves as a bibliography on the topic. https://t.co/QgIl4YnkEb

6/ The top of the market is not without controversy as well. The question of Bitcoin developer incentives has been a main theme recently, with @dksf wading into it below. The convo between @_jillruth & @starkness in the comments is particularly interesting https://t.co/X3trSKKYuc

8/ @jinglanW meanwhile wrote a brief on Plasma, "a design pattern that allows for off-chain messages to dictate the transfer of on-chain assets” that is at the heart of Ethereum scaling discussions https://t.co/ePkjIecyUm

10/ Speaking of communities that put the “doing real shit” in “community,” the NFT crowd hums merrily along. This week, @toddg777 announce @NIFTYgallery, an app for discovery and displaying collections of digital collectibles https://t.co/jrj6NNkCNv

12/ If you don’t follow @backus yet, I recommend it. He is overflowing with historical analogies that can help us understand the perils of history repeating. Case in point: this thread around p2p file sharing and just how decentralized people want things https://t.co/C5uJANUvCM

14/ While the thread is a rabbit hole, I highly recommend @kjer’s piece which argues that networks in which the participants are the owners and incentivized by tokens have immense potential to remake the current business landscape https://t.co/FC3vcx6jhN

16/ Finally, for those going extra thoughful, it doesn’t get much more interesting than @simondlr and @trentmc0 conversation with @eriktorenberg about meme trading, self-owning cars and all the other ways things are going to get real, real weird. https://t.co/xeqBn9lhS1
