Quant for the interoperability, programability, and custom API’s. XRPL for the instant settlement(cross-border & liquidity, etc)

(it was also the millionth competing pos programability standard/asset)..

The trend of permissioned protocols and chains is the natural reaction to hitting the ceiling on how the current generation of monolithic blockchains actually work. KYC, trust, and compliance are one direction of thought to solving MEV. The other path is something the market hasn't priced: Solve the problems that create MEV in the first place so you don't have to fall back on trust. That doesn't mean that true neutral infrastructure would sidestep the entire regulatory environment but the case in point would be to look at the canonical example of how far Bitcoin has progressed in terms of regulatory acceptance due to it's neutrality. The design of the protocol intrinsically achieves the same fundamental outcomes that the regulatory framework seeks. The mistake that the crypto industry made was seeing Bitcoin's success as a payments-only protocol on monolithic architecture, and then pushing the monolithic architecture into programability which is way out of its depth, and that is precisely why the industry feels weird and is showing demand for permissioned protocols. Their are two solutions to MEV. They are not mutually exclusive. 1. Fall back on conventional trust based framework. 2. Blockchain architecture that declines to create the MEV surface in the first place. 🐇

This weeks Coffee & Crypto delves into the usual amount of current info, but two areas that really come to light is the drivers behind stablecoin issuance and the real use of #stablecoins (spoiler alert-follow the money and programability).

I think the meme coin era is over. Crypto is now in the hands of the adults( Wall Street etc.) This guy's value transparency, Robustness and programability. Eth rails have been laid. I think there will be specialty coins that have a specific feature set but cute memes and air drops won't cut it any more.

any idea why ILP was not immediately adopted as a standard and chainlink spread instead as go to solution to interoperability? as far as I know chainlink is expensive...is because it integrates oracles better? has more programability?

public networks programability self-custody i think someone will grasp the opportunity soon and show what these all actually mean for FIs (it's good)

Kaspa, everything else is either poorly designed PoW that will never serve the objective of cryptocurrency as medium of liberty in programability and value movement, or they are just simply crypto companies created to make founders billionaires by printing coins from thin air.

This all just vindicates my point. You ARE living in the past. > The 4th & 5th generation can do things that BCH cannot What things? Not any that I'm aware of. Your mental model is 6 upgrades behind where we are. > BCH also did not incorporate the governance lessons we learned over the years How did it not? Again, there's been 6 years (with a 7th incoming, so about 100 years in crypto time) with no split, no contention, no dictator - nothing. Powerful upgrades are rolling out with consensus annually as perfectly as you could possibly ask for. What lessons were not learnt that could produce a better result than that? > demands greater speed, programability & capacity Literally the latest upgrades (that you don't know about) have added massive programmability & capacity - with work underway on 2 further upgrades around speed. > You can disagree with my thesis, but to say I am living in the past is unfair. It's not unfair when I still haven't seen a single shred of evidence you've looked at any of the BCH upgrades (et alone the REST of the ecosystem) since 2020. All the things you are asking for, BCH either has already done or is actively delivering on, and you haven't made a single specific point about any of it except to dismiss it. If you'd looked into any of it, you'd at least be able to provide a specific criticism, but it seems you haven't even done that. > Usage numbers also support my thesis that this is, in fact, the case This is the only good point you've made. I agree the BCH on-chain volume isn't there yet (or at all). So I won't argue with that. For more results here, I'd say we do still need a little time, but secondary indicators around the community like rising dev activity and growth in conferences is clearly underway which will (hopefully) lead to user growth. > Using crypto in this specific way is a peculiar purity test. Despite my firm generating more fees & volume than low-value commerce ever could This is imagining that I have a mutual exclusion fallacy with these things that I don't. You yourself said on the Space you don't use crypto much, backtracking to say your firm does but not buy coffees is not what you said initially, and in any case I'm sure it's true and I think it's great that you use crypto for other stuff.

Pre BTC except for paper money, the world lack peer to peer infrastructure without counter party risks. Satoshi solves this and designed BTC to be programable. When he left, DAG was proposed to solve scalability and pathway for programability, it was rejected for lightning. (1/2)

$kas is the future of crypto, it's blockDAG architechture and fairlaunch PoW consensus solves the trilema in style and the Toccata upgrade brings programability with no need for L2's opening a world of usescases including totally new ones. Checkmate for crypto

Understand that, from my perspective, BCH is living in the past. The 4th & 5th generation can do things that BCH cannot BCH also did not incorporate the governance lessons we learned over the years To also further clarify my other points: 1. I use crypto professionally as part of my company, I do not "buy coffees" with crypto on a regular basis personally. Using crypto in this specific way is a peculiar purity test. Despite my firm generating more fees & volume than low-value commerce ever could 2. I am sad that crypto commerce died where I live due to BTC not scaling, as it never came back; it could have played out differently, but that is just not the reality now 3. I am not "completely unaware"; I am just not convinced it is a competitive solution. Usage numbers also support my thesis that this is, in fact, the case A bit rude to say I am living in the past when I moved on from BTC, BCH & ETH due to technological obsolescence. My thesis is instead rooted in a hyper-competitive utilitarian worldview that demands greater speed, programability & capacity You can disagree with my thesis, but to say I am living in the past is unfair. From my perspective, sticking to older chains despite recent innovations is more like living in the past to me

compliant auditable privace protocol is the way programability, this is the next era of #Web3 and #privacy

Agreed… I would qualify its value prop as: 1. atomicity 2. programability 3. composability

50% circulating value staked on chain No bridges Chainkey gives programability to BTC Orders of magnitude more depth for production solutions VC fund price prop up and next fool theory investing isn’t the strong foundation we’ve been misled to believe it is

Great podcast with @RaoulGMI ‘measuring value via intelligence and programmability’ While not endorsing #ICP, every metric stated it wins What can you do with a chain? Cost Speed Magnitudes more complexity programability Adoption is inevitable youtu.be/Y1a4lXqHHGo?si=QNpl…

The market feels fairly different to be honest, with Kaspa at least. the first run we went on was in a bear market, i don't see how we can be in a bear market with institution net inflows, i think $LINK hasn't seen a single day of net outflow. I think Kaspa with this upgrade becomes an even bigger beast, as it gives proper programability. The network with that upgrade becomes properly undervalued when compared to peers market caps, nevermind the upgrades to come.

ETH accrues value in violent, non-linear bursts. Compared to the post ICO period when we had programability and nothing to do with it, this is milk and cookies town. I’ve sold unbelievable accounts of Eth over the years and it’s always a punishing move over the long horizon. Don’t be emotional, get every Eth token back pronto tonto. Every capitulation essay is an emotional move dressed up as analysis.

I'd love to do a track on time-locking and the ultimate dead man's switch. Many benefits from inheritance to threat vectors to diamond hands. Cryptography vs legality. Sort of the programability of your future.
