2/ First, the big industry background stuff. @AutonoFinTech produced a massive report on the state of the industry. @cburniske grabbed some of the most interesting slides, including this one on the waves of crypto funding https://t.co/DaYJLm975T

4/ Kyle t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ wrote this thread about the draws of Bitcoin Maximalism, ultimately still flagging some key questions about BTC as the ultimate digital global reserve asset. Say what you will, this man keeps it interesting. https://t.co/ULU135Rhzk

6/ Seriously though, the best thread that y’all probably missed was @dhruvbansal connecting T.H. White’s “The Once & Future King” & King Arthur to Bitcoin as a way to talk about the sort of un-copyable power of Satoshi’s disappearing act. https://t.co/4oQuy2KoOa

8/ Over in another section of crypto twitter, Ryan instigated this super interesting conversation about whether the community should demand that VCs who sell tokens disclose those moves publicly to reduce the ‘shitcoin waterfall’ that dumps coins on retail https://t.co/X1JSKLTeb6

10/ For more good analysis of these games, I really liked @yanroux and @stefanobernardi’s write up in Token Economy. They’re hoping that the mechanics inspire other use cases for autonomous ecosystems. https://t.co/35hI9qGJBf

12/ On Thursday, though, the SEC did make one decision: to reject a proposal from the Winklevoss/Gemini crew. @louaboudhogben provided some good analysis https://t.co/krfSqN2Fus & @AureliusBTC provided a great TL;DR https://t.co/v3gPLM2r74

14/ While people were talking about important stuff happening right now like Ponzi games and ETFs, some of us were day dreaming about how incentive systems can be designed to allow networks to compete with firms. https://t.co/fChr1Kyjmz

16/ @pjkershawnz connected the dots between the PoWH3D/Fomo3D games – who have created a commons predicated on greed – to other forms of digital commons that can be created without the ability to by monopolized. https://t.co/IrK31bQ0GH

18/ Finally, a few more threads and posts not necessarily connected to larger themes but just interesting in their own right.

20/ Chris wrote about a trend towards what hecalled “middleware protocols” that are smart contract platform agnostic and which make it easier for devs to build dapps. The Ruby for Rails, but for all the rails. https://t.co/fxaTbZypCe

22/ @AriannaSimpson runs counter to the push to define cryptoasset valuations that has been getting louder and louder, suggesting not that it’s not important, but simply that the only rational position right now is to learn through uncertainty. https://t.co/GlyGZYObAs
