The thing with world coin that I think I agree super dystopian but to the first point and what it's trying to do is an important thing. People are concerned about the other is that something like 25% of the world coins outstanding are held by the investors who funded the or effort. There's already kind of like world coin accounts appearing in countries that shouldn't have accounts because of back-end malfeasance. This just feels like it flies in the face of everything crypto was meant to represent and and does represent from a privacy from a censorship standpointI this just doesn't sit right with me at all something about it just it doesn't smell right.
If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com.

Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
