It's insane that anyone with your phone and 4 digit PIN can lock you out of all of your accounts, photos, etc. We desperately need to fix the fallback recovery options with our identity tech.
I absolutely cannot believe Apple is marketing this as a feature after @nicnguyen and I have done multiple @WSJ stories and videos about how this very feature is being used by iPhone thieves across the country to permanently lock victims out of their Apple accounts. This feature needs to be changed. Not marketed.

"The fact that we used to tell our parents 'don’t write your passwords on a piece of paper,' and now web3 comes along and we’re like 'yeah, just write down your seed phrase.' That’s just bad UX." 🤔 -@inks, CMO of @AmbireWallet, on the Side Stage at #WalletCon2023

Got excited to hear from my fellow crypto companies on @chain_reaction from last year's Startup Battlefield, but it seems like none of us (including @coremeleon) were included 😭: podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR…

(1/4) This is a great primer on some of the ways that crypto can impact US competitiveness and national security @faryarshirzad from @coinbase.
Replying to @faryarshirzad
12/ This week I published a paper through the @coinbase Institute that lays out the national security case for crypto in some detail. The issues are complex, so I welcome your thoughts on it: downloads.ctfassets.net/c5bd…

(4/4) Having just witnessed the impact of offshoring semiconductor manufacturing and the Herculean effort required to bring a decent amount of it back, the US should formally encourage crypto and blockchain development here at home.

I find it interesting that the same people who say #Bitcoin will "fix the world" always want the price to keep going up, pricing out most of the world.

Congratulations to the teams surrounding this massive achievement! When I was at the LLE I was betting this would take until 2050 😅
