Incredibly honored that @giancarloMKTS asked me to write the foreword to his upcoming book, The New Adventures of Crypto Dad. Chairman Giancarlo is an excellent storyteller who takes readers behind the scenes of some of crypto’s biggest moments in Washington while exploring the future of decentralized technology, all against the backdrop of America’s 250th anniversary.

My guest @OisinKyne says Ethereum doesn't have $100 billion of security. "We really have 5 million a day," he argues, and EIP-8363 could cut that further. https://t.co/ixFW7izfr6
In today’s Crypto is Macro Now, I explain the significance of the SEC proposal on token issuance exemptions – there’s some mind-blowing stuff in there, but the really big deal is how it contemplates a new type of capital market for a new type of asset. No more one-size-fits-all. https://t.co/X1HkT09HuE
