Episode notes
Positive Shift in Crypto Regulation
- The SEC's recent DeFi roundtable shows a more constructive regulatory approach embracing crypto's core American values.
- This new clarity can lead to healthier growth by reducing bad actors and aligning regulators with crypto innovators.
Crypto Moats and Network Effects
- Defensive moats in crypto mostly come from strong network effects and regulatory lock-ins, not from products themselves.
- Network effects act like gravity wells, making it hard for competitors to supplant leading crypto networks.
Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Keys
- Quantum computing could break Bitcoin's encryption within 5 to 15 years, posing risks to digital signatures and key security.
- The problem is mostly implementation and coordination, not lack of post-quantum cryptography solutions.
