I wonder if we’ll hear about how Biden is the oldest president when (if?) his stair story hits print.
Okay fine🧵.
Guys. People lost their minds when Trump walked slowly down a ramp one time.
I don’t think the Biden stair stumble stuff should matter. But boy did the media set one hell of a precedent about presidential walking patterns.
And if you’ve forgotten, read on ⤵️

Are you kidding me?! @PhilipRucker @seungminkim
@CNN had it as a chyron for a whole segment!
About whether Trump might be afraid of stairs!!
@ChrisCillizza wrote an entire story about why the ramp mattered!
@ananavarro
@BillKristol
@SteveSchmidtSES (go figure)
@GeorgeTakei (Lordy)
Hopefully this episode will help the mainstream media learn that.
Well you know what? Your rules. You made this bed. Be better.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
