What is the failure rate of NYDFS regulated and genius act regulated stablecoins compared to U.S. bank failures, both in aggregate and per capita, since 2018?

Once again asking for CT to have a senator that cares and isn’t just out for his own political agenda

100

Nah this is dumb and sad to see from my senator. The SEC under the prior admin refused to create rules, which allowed much more fraud and prevented legitimate companies from functioning (the SEC admitted this). CLARITY creates rules and protects consumers, which Chris doesn’t like, apparently.

100

Translation: Warren is aware her anti-crypto army never materialized and is making a last ditch effort to add ethics guardrails to a bill that seeks to regulate crypto. Under the prior admin there were no regs, just an SEC that refused to create rules. Warren gains political power by preventing regs

Wow. Amazing. Ever thought about fixing CT?

000

How does clarity act deregulate crypto? What does it allow that isn’t allowed now or at least isn’t evaluated on a case-by-case basis via SEC enforcement which has been mostly favorable since OCP 2.0 ended?

After I started working in tech, the vibes became noticeably off when reading these articles. They were no longer providing a nourishing information diet, and the cheat code for getting back the early vibes was to be following the builders directly.

Apparently the robot’s designer gave WIRED the exclusive on this launch, who then betrayed him by publishing this. The commentary of the situation resonates with me. When I was in high school / college I found these publications to be not just a view of the tech landscape, but even inspirational.

I might also be jaded from the status quo of skateboarding but it just seems normal to me to utilize the freely available terrain around us, and pay for upgraded terrain when you can and want to (I’m in a paid membership skatepark rn)

000

I think this is why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social’s stance is confusing to me. Replace “soccer” with “skateboarding”. There’s plenty of public space in the state to skate for free. But if you want an indoor best-in-class park, or an instructor’s time to teach you, you have to pay for it.

100

I think this is underestimating how many public parks there are (every town in CT, Murphy’s state) and overestimating how much people in the US care to develop World Cup champions

The American people also wonder why Massachusetts has under-built housing for the entire duration of Warren's time in office

000

Warren can’t help but lie about these things because she literally made being anti-crypto her platform. No matter what it is, she will tell you it’s bad.

Actually as currently drafted section 302 enforces that all current sanctions laws apply to crypto. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Do these “By X year, Y event related to <energy/water/climate/resource> will happen” articles ever turn out to be correct by the given year? Feel like I see them every few years on the internet and they never become reality

How do you defend against this?

Her post is almost entirely about stablecoins, USD1 and Genius Act

Here is an example of usage from the early days… afghan women sidestepping oppressive male guardianship laws. If you have data on it being mostly illicit usage, happy to look

000

Jake @ngmi.co · 07/07/2026

Even if you go back to the beginning… the data doesn’t show it’s mostly illicit. Even a former CIA director said its illicit usage was overstated. bsky.app/profile/ngmi...

I wouldn’t even consider my case an edge case. Google wouldn’t offer an API as an edge case, that doesn’t make sense for them. Reality is just that stablecoins make it so Google doesn’t need to give surplus to credit card companies anymore.

100

Do you have data that the majority is illicit? Stripe does tons of stablecoin business now. Many multinationals use them for reduced FX spreads. Western Union and Moneygram (2 largest remittance companies globally) both operate with stablecoins. Shopify accepts them. They’re used for RWA stocks etc

Consortium including Visa, Mastercard jointly launch new global stablecoin

I only want to pay $0.00003 each time I use this service from Google. AFAIK no card network allows for a transaction this low. Visa and Mastercard did just launch a stablecoin though so maybe that will change. www.reuters.com/business/con...

A consortium including Visa , Mastercard and Coinbase on Tuesday launched a new joint stablecoin in a bid to broaden the adoption of the digital tokens.

Second, explain how genius act allows for *more* corruption than pre-genius act. You can’t, because it doesn’t. It not only makes stablecoins safer products for consumer usage, but every profit making dollar behind a genius act stablecoin lends *more to the US govt* bsky.app/profile/ngmi...

Dear derplets, Please explain how more usd1 usage leads to more profits for its issuer. You can’t because that’s not how it works. You need total net new issuance for the underlying reserves to be parked in short US Treasuries for the underlying issuer to make more profit. bsky.app/profile/ngmi...

Yes ofc but see people generally know when their AC is that low it’s not going to be a crowd pleaser for others unless it’s truly scorching outside 🤣

Depends on if outside or inside. When being outside 70s is fine. 80s is hot if you don’t like the heat. >90 you’re probably not going to want to be outside long even if you like the heat Inside most people like their AC set to 68-72. Below 68 it will feel too chilly. Above 72 it will feel too hot
