Critical Thinking Brain

Is there a centralized resource that lists all the DAOs with their legal structure status, devs involved, VCs, other people associated with it?

Why is the info / data valuable? For many many reasons, mainly legal reasons and regulatory reasons.

Sell the data to regulatory agencies, lawyers, other interested parties

Is this doxxing? Is that illegal? But if it is decentralized it is supposed to be open and transparent

Get homeschool kids to help compile the information 

Homeschool project - get students to help research all the different DAOs, figure out their legal nature, join discords etc. They could learn about the law, crypto, defi, and reading docs of these orgs including reading code.

Aspiring crypto analyst could contribute to the project.  Could even be part of the curriculum into a live bootcamp like class to become a crypto defi analyst

Could evolve into a DoNotPay like company that helps spur lawsuits for disputes within Daos

Follow up- didn't mention- Chainanalysis sort of but for DAOs - Later add legal opinions on tokens products, etc. Categorize each token, categorize big money flows, and what they offer-- sort of like an analyst opinion, just an opinion, others have other ideas. Remember when Coinbase created their guide for is this a security or not?

Energy prices spiking across the globe

Bitcoin miners are not addresses the surge in prices in energy, yet they are talking about bitcoin miners and electric grids non stop for 6 months

Bitcoin and ESG match made in heaven not going to last--- will end in a nasty divorce

I can't wait to pitch a documentary to Netflix or Amazon or HBO on how bitcoin miners are responsible for deaths related to blackouts and energy price increases---oooo I can just smell the green-- oooo and not to mention the political nature of this issue

Bitcoin and cryptos might be blamed for chip shortages or hardware as well even though their contribution to the shortages might be small.

No not from network effects or from adoption

It will go to a million because of the something for nothing (a usdt loan) or other stablecoin product or any other inflationary crypto actually

What stablecoin critics get wrong

Didn't mention potential collateral in the loan example--- but this collateral gives value to the loan itself (the promise to pay)--- not the actual stablecoin - which is printed without any limit and without restriction just like what the Federal Reserve does

Piggy backing on 'the market cap' of the coin when new coins enter the market

The critics do not understand this because they don't understand money printing by the Federal Reserve- they often like money printing

Dapper Labs is a NFT platform plus the seller of topshots with the NBA

Class action lawsuit civil against Dapper Labs

Dapper Labs going to release NFT NFL moments while lawsuit going on

I advocate you go buy these unregistered in these NFTs and then go sue them you don't profit

FLOW

Permissioned blockchains is not decentralized

Free call option-- buy up these NFTs and sell for profit,, if sell for a loss--- sue them

The Texas Securities Board is supposed to be regulating these companies and I alerted them to the crime.

Bitcoin Green ESG movement

Grids

Blackouts

Bitcoin miners who embrace renewables and ESG find themselves more aligned with the federal reserve goals on climate

"BREAKING: House GOP members blast the Federal Reserve for promoting "critical race theory," "critical climate justice," and "decolon[izing] the atmosphere," while inflation erodes the national finances.  The members have demanded documents and launched an investigation. Game on." - Rufo

Someone should tell Rufo that the bitcoin ESG folks are in alignment with the Fed--- Rufo tweeted out Crypto Now after learning this about the Fed. 

"The Federal Reserve is now promoting critical race theory. It's fake money enabling a fake ideology in service of fake élites.  Crypto now." - Rufo

Is POS a distraction? Ethereum is still doing POW while making money or 'printing money' on their POS chain.

Why bitcoiners do not call out the Eth guys on POS as a misdirection. Why haven't they moved to POS yet?

How much energy is Eth POW using? Why no comparisons? Why don't we hear about Eth miners?

Bitcoin embraces ESG and they are playing a short term game. They will take the fall too since they don't call out Eth POW mining--it seems contradictory since they like POW, but it is not if bitcoin is going to take the blame and if you ultimately think POS isn't a viable option.

The framework has shifted from POW and bitcoin uses and wastes all this energy, to bitcoin POW uses all this renewable energy and is an ESG cheerleader.

The bitcoin people who laugh at ETH for wanting to get away from POW and go to POS are embracing bitcoin ESG for the same reason ETH wants to talk about POS all the time. They are both worried about the green movement and through their latest actions, have conceded and effectually joined them (the green movement) in a weird perverse way.

Should it be public or secret?

The OpenSea exec didn't wash trade nor did he insider trade. He did use proprietary info to profit, but didn't break any laws. If anything he was frontrunning, but so are the MEV people. Front running is the name of the game in crypto land, especially not ethereum.

People don't understand definitions of wash trading or insider trading or even front running. 

Is front running technically illegal--- no not really, maybe it violates some fidurciary duty on some people, but not if you don't have a fidurcirayr duty. 

Front running should be watched by crypto industry in particular. Watch Robinhood and what the SEC does.

The person paying for the wash trading and the platform used would all be on the hook from anyone that complains

We should be defending the OpenSea insider trader--- he should sue for defamation - because what he did was not the legal definition of insider trading and the company had no policy against his actions

Will your NFTs go up in price after you die?

A platform should compile or curate a list of NFTs whose creator has recently died.

This would be a hit for Halloween--- could be part of a special Coindesk special spooky launch.

Everyone should be able to wash trade NFTs, even poor people. Which is why there should be a service.

If you die how much will your NFTs be worth? Will they go up?

Cryptopunks were most definitely wash traded to go from free (zero dollars) to worth millions or hundreds of thousands.

If OpenSea or other NFT marketplaces are decentralized then they can't prevent wash trading. 

OpenSea has to be careful in what it says is true (meaning their UX) saying what are legit transactions.

After all all OpenSea does if they are actually decentralized is put a friendly wrapper that says which transactions happened by you telling them your wallet address.

The only person you have to worry about getting you in trouble for wash trading is a angry customer- just make them happy if they sue you for buying your NFT and not being able to sell to a new sucker. However if they are able to sell to another sucker, you are off the hook for fraud because there is someone in between the two of you, unless they go back to you for the original fraud. 

Follow up- didn't discuss- Find someone who died, but before they died they created some NFTs.... scarcity is already set. Narrative of death in play. There could be an entire platform on death NFTs. I kind of like that concept.

Follow up question- uniswap price dynamics--- bored ape project called uniswap pricing mechanism a ponzi-- makes wonder why did they launch like this-- selling all for same price - 200 instead of an auction
