Alphonzo Phonz Terrell and DeVaris Brown connected during orientation on their first day working at Twitter. A few years later, they are building a social media platform of their own. "We were the only two Black guys in there, and we were like, Hey, we'll be friends," said Terrell, who served as the platform's Global Head of Social Editorial until last month, when he was one of the thousands of employees laid off upon Elon Musk's takeover.

Twitter is a Mess, So Former Employees Are Creating Spill as an Alternative

When people talk about decentralized finances today, they mostly talk about its growth and the potential of the technology underpinning it. When they talk about the future of DeFi, they talk about how much it can grow and how it can be an alternative system for traditional finance. However, very few people talk about the primary problem of traditional finance, and how DeFi has solved that. If you're not too knowledgeable about DeFi, you might think that problem is centralization. But you would just be half right. The problem isn't centralization, for that is only a symptom of a bigger problem. The bigger problem is trust. The Problem Of Trust For the overwhelming majority of human existence, we've operated financial systems based on trust. Even before the existence of banks, we've always put trust in a third party for the security of our finances. Romans, for example, trusted the state not to coins and dilute the purity of their denarii, thereby turning their currency into copper. Like many before them, they found out that the state couldn't be trusted. Before long, the purity of the silver in denarii plummeted from a peak of about 95% to one of about 5%. At that point, the coin was functionally copper. mint too many silver The Romans weren't the only ones subjected to this treatment. A lot of civilizations over the course of history did too. Interestingly, people didn't just have to trust the banks or their state— they also had to trust couriers. Merchants who had to transport large amounts of gold or silver via couriers had to trust the courier not to abscond with the treasure. Even if they were transporting it themselves, they had to trust fellow travelers or even their own family not to rob them. With the industrial revolution came the need for even more trust. Financial systems were expanding, and banks started to grow. People had to trust banks to verify transactions, and they had to trust central banks not to be irresponsible with monetary policy. It's important to understand that people didn't trust these institutions because they wanted to, but because they had to. There was no choice. As anyone would expect, these systems of trust continually broke down. The Roman denarii became ; policy has racked the modern world several times, and in some corners of the world, a devalued beyond measure inflation as a result of irresponsible monetary bank is always refusing to validate a transaction. But because we had no alternative to a trust-based system, we persevered. It may sound counterintuitive to oppose a system based on trust. That's because trust sounds like a good thing. Unfortunately, in this context, it's not. There are many reasons why trust-based systems are unstable, but I'll only mention a few important ones. The Shortcomings Of Trust The first problem with trust is that it can be broken. Even the biggest opponents of trust-based systems have no problems agreeing that in most cases third parties have earned the trust bestowed on them. Regulations mean that these third parties are often good faith players. But since they can break your trust by manipulating your data or not confirming your transactions, it stands to reason that anyone with access to their systems can do the same. The problem is that because of these same regulations, which presumptively ensure that these third parties are good faith players, also ensure that the state has almost unfettered access to their systems. Like protesters in Canada recently discovered, if the state from the banks, it will get it. By placing trust in third parties, people unwittingly make them a target for the state. Sadly, the state isn't the only party that targets these third parties. Even more nefarious actors, like hackers and thieves, target these systems too. wants something hard enough Ergo, it's quite irrelevant whether the third parties are good-faith players or not. They are targets, and since we have zero or no control over just how secure they are against these nefarious actors, we are essentially taking a huge gamble by trusting them. This isn't a new problem of the trust-based system by any means, and the several economic setbacks we've experienced because of them are testaments to that. The most recent economic setback was probably the 2008 recession which was caused by "good faith" actors holding onto a bunch of bad debt. As expected, these institutions brought the entire global economy crashing down around them. What's more? Most of them got from the government regardless. bailouts While one may argue that a vast majority of financial institutions deserve to be trusted, it's clear that if we continue to trust them we will have to adjust to regular unfaithfulness. Sometimes this may be due to their failures, and other times due to circumstances beyond their control. This inevitability of economic crashes due to trust is the number one problem of traditional finance. And if it's not solved, it may spell doom for our future as the world gets even more interconnected. Thankfully, it's a problem that we can solve. The Birth Of A Trustless System Today, we can trust algorithms that could not be motivated to breach that trust. The first person to make use of those systems to create a trustless financial framework was Satoshi Nakamato. And ever since then, we've seen, for the first time in human history, a truly trustless ecosystem. That ecosystem is now called decentralized finance, or DeFi for short. Today, there are many protocols that thrive on the principle of decentralized finance. For example, there are now companies trying to solve the problem of loans, and others trying to solve the liquidity problem of real estate. is one of the leading DeFi companies creating a sustainable and safe way for people to process loans in a trustless system, and is working on solving the liquidity problem of real estate in a trustless economy. Defi Swap Bricktrade The basic premise behind these systems means that a third party doesn't need to like you, love you, or be good to keep your transactions safe. It's a system where there are only two parties in the transaction; you and your peer. That's why DeFi transactions are called peer-2-peer transactions. But this safety isn't the only benefit of DeFi. Trustless systems don't only solve the problem of trust-based systems, they also make it easier for people to do more with their assets. Staking, for example, is a unique DeFi protocol that allows users to earn interest on their assets by committing to a validator for a certain period. Ordinarily, people don't have assets in their funds at this time. However, through liquid staking, they can earn derivative tokens that they can spend anyhow they wish. Today, one of the biggest companies allowing people to stake is — and the service already has over a hundred million staked assets. Ankr As expected, this entire system is trustless, which makes it even a better bet for people than regular interest. It's also safer, as people will never have to worry about doing bank runs since their investment is guaranteed by smart contracts. While a lot of people still believe in the trustworthiness of traditional finance, many are beginning to see they haven't earned our trust. There have been too many mistakes and breaches of trust by these institutions. They can no longer be trusted, and that's why DeFi will certainly replace them — not just co-exist with them.

DeFi May Save The World Financially

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations: Book IV, Chapter IX

A 2019 by Blockchain Capital claimed that 11 percent of Americans own and 89 percent are aware of it. A different 2019 put BTC ownership at 6 percent of Americans. So why don’t we see widespread adoption of blockchain-powered payments at coffee shops, groceries, and eCommerce sites? study Bitcoin survey In this article we explore the key reasons below. Among these is that Bitcoin and other digital coins are different from . Payment mediums need to be stable whereas cryptos can be risky; fluctuate significantly in value; are resistant to third-party mediation; and tricky to regulate across different jurisdictions and disparate . They also operate outside protections from governments and central banks. Here are challenges to mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. fiat cash monetary systems Education and reputation are important. Cryptocurrencies received plenty of media hype in the run-up to Bitcoin’s $20,500 valuation in early 2018. But the press coverage was not particularly detailed or instructive. Rather, busy journalists (many of whom were not too informed about the emerging industry) largely reported on the price frenzy and subsequent crash. During the 2018 bear market, BTC lost more than 85 percent of its value. And mainstream interest has since waned. (Bitcoin’s 2020 recovery has since reduced the loss from peak price to just 55 percent instead of 85 percent.) A primary hurdle to global adoption is education and reputation. On education, most consumers are still unaware of many aspects of cryptocurrency technology. They’re casual fans; not hardcore supporters.  When it comes to money and assets, people aren’t embracing what they don’t understand. Thus, there’s a need among blockchain companies, crypto enthusiasts, and libertarian technologists to continue to educate the masses about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins and their applications. They also need to inform the world about the disruptive tech that underpins digital money (i.e., blockchain), as well as the many advantages of non-sovereign, global monies. Governments reduce the value of fiat by printing it to eventual death (think ancient Rome’s denarius coin) whereas most cryptos have limited supply and are anti-inflationary. On reputation, hackers, scammers, pump-and-dump fraudsters, thieves, and other bad actors have tarnished the nascent industry. Consumers get the impression that in this new Wild West, they can get robbed by anonymous outlaws. A few bad apples have stained everyone’s collective reputation. It’s tough to convince households to invest thousands of dollars in tokens and coins when their funds can be stolen at an exchange, phishing website, or through crypto-jacking. Fiat convertibility helps for payments. In 2018, global payments rose 6 percent to $1.9 trillion. Electronic fiat payments are increasing worldwide but these operate within sovereign monetary systems. Most cryptocurrency projects seek to challenge the status quo while creating new ecosystems that are totally independent of governments and central banks. Some insiders believe that’s unrealistic: they argue a better approach is to integrate with legacy infrastructure. To leverage the existing banking architecture and gain consumers’ trust and adoption. “Wall Street now recognizes cryptos as a new asset class but it doesn’t have to replace fiat but rather complement it through frictionless spending and convertibility,” says Danial Daychopan in a recent interview. He’s the founder of , a finance app that allows consumers to spend cryptos and fiat through a Visa debit card, which is coupled with a crypto-back rewards program. Plutus Daychopan’s company lets consumers swap between fiat and crypto assets through a peer-to-peer exchange. While this feature is important, partnerships with established companies can be a prudent approach to risk management in the Wild West of digital coins and tokens. "Traditional financial systems have flaws but they also bring huge advantages like worldwide adoption, ease-of-use, and fast payment that many hardcore crypto enthusiasts tend to neglect,” says Daychopan. “Cryptos can leverage proven infrastructure to make spending easy, normalized, frictionless, and accepted by merchants everywhere.” A partnership with global players like Visa can make transactions secure and allay concerns of potential misconduct. This June, German fintech company Wirecard said it was . The scandal has forced wallet providers like TenX and Crypto.com to issue refunds to holders of crypto-denominated charge cards. missing $2.1 billion Volatility is viewed as risky Cryptos’ total market capitalization has rebounded 37 percent year-to-date in 2020. The market cap now stands at nearly $260 billion and the industry has gained new Wall Street investors who boost social proof. More professional traders have also reduced Bitcoin’s volatility compared to wilder price fluctuations in the past. Still, consumers see volatility as risky and uncertain when it comes to payments. The pandemic recession has also made millions of Americans risk-averse as they save more cash to cover expenses and emergencies. “Volatility makes cryptos an investment-type of purchase and many coins behave like a fluctuating asset,” says Jasper Tay, co-founder of Plutus. “Cash is stable which is best for payments. But it’s not very advantageous to hoard cash either when banks aren’t offering interest on deposits. Moreover, the Federal Reserve is printing record amounts of fiat which will diminish their long-term purchasing power.” The long-term rise of major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum gives consumers a way to earn gains from their money while spending it through platforms like that Platus is looking at. Kava ( : ) Disclaimer The author works at KAVA Unfortunately, too many people are financially illiterate and don’t understand the negative implications of the Fed’s quantitative easing, but for those that are financially literate, well, they're using Kava to bridge their major crypto holdings to access Kava's lending platform. Cryptos is a hedge option that is ignored, which goes back to the education hurdle, but ultimately the financially literate who are Bitcoin bulls need financial services on their Bitcoin. Users want to pay their bills in USD without having to sell their Bitcoin. Kava, my employer, is the bridge to decentralized finance on Bitcoin. Compliance across borders is complicated Financial services is the most regulated industry and it’s wreaking havoc on compliance when it comes to cryptos. Different agencies within the U.S. government cannot agree on how to regulate the nascent technology. And multiple jurisdictions outside the U.S. bring extra layers of complexity, cost and, burden. “It’s prudent to adapt to the existing regulatory environment and that means blockchain companies can solve compliance and interoperability issues through partnerships,” says Danial Daychopan. “In our case, we partnered with Visa to provide a debit card that enables crypto owners to convert assets to fiat and vice versa. Payments require a practical approach for adoption, and crypto projects shouldn’t behave like lone wolves. The existing infrastructure can function as a bridge to a new world.” Plutus is an up and comer. They have some catching up to do if they are to compete with the likes of Kava, Compound, and Maker, the first-mover decentralized financial platforms leading the way today, who are enabling users to lock up their crypto as collateral for loans in fiat currencies. For example, Kava, the first multi-chain lending platform has millions in assets already and plans to further accelerate its adoption announcing today that the network is compensating loan creators on its platform every Wednesday at 14:00 UTC with 74,000 KAVA tokens - roughly a quarter-million dollars when the KAVA token is at $3 - on top of a high yield savings accounts offering users up to 11.8% APY. The founder and CEO, Brain Kerr, who is also my boss because I work as a content manager for Kava, told me that “Kava aims to provide on-demand loans to anyone, anywhere, and anytime they need it. Whereas DeFi is taking off in the Ethereum ecosystem, it’s unable to serve the majority of the crypto-space. Kava aims to open the doors of DeFi to the major cryptocurrencies. With the new incentive plan announced today, we expect the supply of assets on Kava to dramatically increase resulting in more borrowing on the Kava platform.” ( : ) Disclaimer The author works at KAVA

Crypto to Fiat Convertibility Holds The Key To The Next Leap In Payments

A man from the US became a hero last year when a video of him subduing a man who had headbutted someone in the face went viral. The video has been reposted numerous times since but is regularly taken down following bogus copyright complaints. However, the censorship efforts massively backfired this week when someone tried to delete a Reddit thread using a DMCA anti-circumvention notice. Duh... For as long as people have been able to share decent-sized videos online, there have been clips of people willingly punching each other in the face. This is commonly known as a ‘fight’ and they can be quite entertaining, under the right circumstances. Some people, however, like to violently attack seemingly innocent parties over the most trivial of things. This is known as ‘assault’ and is never acceptable under any circumstances. That brings us to the horrible yet remarkable events surrounding an incident in 2019 that began awfully, was dealt with heroically and, by some twists of fate, ended up here on TF in a copyright shitstorm. Last summer, Steve Heflin was on business in Fort Lauderdale to interview prospective employee Mark with a view to hiring him as a new salesman for his Internet infrastructure company. Things went well over dinner and the pair decided to go to a local bar where they first encountered “two guys in suits” sitting at the bar. Steve tells us that after one left the other was involved in a dispute and was asked by the management to leave. Things didn’t go well. Due to the apparent level of intoxication, the valet wouldn’t return “drunk guy’s” keys, informing him that his car would be safe where it was parked and he should get an Uber home instead. There was an altercation and the valet ended up hiding behind the manager. The confrontation escalated and as can be seen in the video embedded below, something pretty awful happened to the first person in line. Those who can’t stomach violence probably shouldn’t click. For those that do, Steve is the guy that deals with the assailant to ensure he can’t hurt anyone else – including himself. Mark is the guy who steps in to help later on. “Not gonna lie – it was surreal,” Steve told TorrentFreak this week. “If I didn’t see the video myself, I would never be able to tell you how I took him down. It was all so fast. I told him to calm down, he swung and next thing you know, we are on the ground. I really was shocked to see it all! Still strange to this day.” In various edits, this video has been seen by countless thousands of people since last year. Steve has been hailed a hero for the way he handled the situation, receiving positive comments from people who watched the video on platforms including YouTube, Reddit, Vimeo, Facebook, and more. However, those looking today (Steve provided this copy on a private YouTube link) won’t find it so easily. That’s because (surprise, surprise) someone has been abusing the DMCA to have the content removed. for the video “I started getting messages from Reddit about me violating copyright laws and using copyrighted content. YouTube – same thing. Viral content advertisers were pinging me asking me for the rights to the video to make it more viral and split the money. I declined them all,” Steve explained. As the image above shows, the video – that was by himself eight months ago (he earned various awards and a custom flair for his trouble) – was removed by Reddit’s legal team because they received a copyright complaint. posted Steve Another thread on Reddit, created by someone else but referencing the same video, received a further round of attention after being reposted on the platform. As can be , however, that was also subjected to a copyright complaint. Any other subs that linked to the content ( ) were also denied access following the takedowns. seen here such as /r/bjj This pattern continued wherever the video was posted but due to the lack of transparency in respect of who claimed the video as their own, it’s not easy to see who filed the copyright complaints on sites like Reddit, for example. However, DMCA complaints and actually lists the name of the sender. two filed with Vimeo published on the Lumen Database According to Steve, it matches the name of the guy he took down in the video. This raises a number of issues, which need to be looked at closely. Could this be someone impersonating “drunk guy”, taking down videos in his name in order to ‘help’ in some way? Perhaps. Could this be the guy himself filing these notices? Also possible but he would need to obtain the copyrights first. Steve says that’s unlikely. As the video clearly shows, the assailant did not record the video himself since at the time he was either headbutting someone in the face or having his face ground into the floor. In fact, the video was taken by someone else – a woman – who happily handed over a copy to Steve upon request. A crucial point here is that the existence of the video – which someone is now trying to erase from history – was potentially an absolute life-saver for Steve because after the police took the assailant away, they returned with some pretty serious allegations. “So by now someone had bought me a beer (my third of the night so I am very sober) and the cops come back inside and want to talk to me. I figure it is a normal Q&A about the incident. Nope. They are asking me who I am with and where my friends are and why I sucker-punched [the assailant],” Steve explained. “I was like – what? The cop says well, [the assailant] said you and TEN of your friends jumped him and then I sucker-punched him when he wasn’t looking. So now I am on the defense because they want to take me in! Everyone starts chiming in at the same time about what really happened and it is overload with so many people talking. “Then this one woman plainly says ‘Do you want to see the video?’ I turned and looked at her and said, ‘You took a video?'” The unavoidable conclusion here is that witness accounts aside, the video proved who was in the wrong and Steve was allowed to go on his way. It’s a piece of evidence recorded by an accidental citizen journalist, evidence that is now being subjected to DMCA complaint after DMCA complaint in an effort to disappear what happened that day. That, conveniently, leads us to the headline of this article, which wouldn’t have even been written if it hadn’t been for this icing on the cake. On April 9, 2020, an entity describing itself as ‘ ‘ filed DMCA complaints with Google ( , ) in an effort to have a new thread, referencing a new posting of the video on Reddit, deleted from its indexes. TECHLAW 1 2 One was a standard DMCA takedown notice. The other was a highly dubious effort to have another URL removed on the basis that it breaches the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA. The massive irony here is that if this latest misguided effort to remove the video hadn’t been filed with Google this week, this entire episode would’ve flown under the radar without piquing our interest. Instead, the anti-circumvention notice stuck out like a sore thumb and led us down this inglorious Streisand-Effect rabbit hole. The big question now is whether the notice-sender, whoever they may be, will continue in their quest to remove the video – a video they have no right to remove and is only likely to get posted in more and more places in response to the notices. Whatever happens, Steve isn’t bitter about the events of that night, or the person he had to deal with. “I truly have nothing against him,” he told us. “I mean, he thought my name was really Denarius…duh. I’m sure we would not get along if we knew each other….that’s no big deal. But what if I saved a life or him from a bad accident, if not that night then another? If no one humbled him and he continued to be a drunk douche?

Viral Headbutt Video Taken Down Following Gogus Copyright Complaints

It is the year of the Lord of 2017. The world is Fiat. Fiat is centralized. And centralization is Corruption, Deception & Serfdom of the people. But inch by inch, centralization winter is coming… In 2016 many DevWarriors started to work in building their own CryptoKingdoms with the tools and weapons provided by The House of Ethereum’s Blacksmith. Along with The House of Ethereum many other Lords started to launch their own over the Fiatland territories. In 2017 it was not Bitcoin but Ethereum who lead the charge against the Fiatland territories. Idea for a Crypto Offensive (ICO) The offensive was in many fronts of decentralization: New Platform Kingdoms. Insurance, Lending and Payment processing territories. Trading, Decentralized exchanges lands. Gaming, Gambling and Prediction market areas Smart contracts and CrytoWallet fields Energy, computation and file storage regions Video and other content monetization platforms. Many serfs of Fiatland, tired of their poverty wages, soon joined Cryptoland growth and fast learned to use opensource weapons many Dew Warriors had been developing on the Ethereum Blacksmith: MyEtherWallet, EtherDelta , Gas Limit, ENS… They also had a crash course on ICO’s by the hand of He grew his wealth fast and showed many Warriors how to join a quality Idea for a Crypto Offensive (ICO). Sir Ian Balina, a self-made Lord who did not have his own ICO Kingdom but owned parts of many other CryptoKingdoms. In the battlefield or in Sir Ian Balina’s barracks new Warriors learned how to analyze a good ICO Team and Whitepaper, good token metrics, good idea, advisers, community… and with the fast growth of every small Kingdom. Many Warriors got very wealthy very fast with the complete success every ICO was having to arrive to Cryptoland and to join the ranks of different new Cryptokingdoms. The more new Warriors the more powerful Cryptoland was becoming. That provoked a Tsunami of new Warriors Early arriving Warriors made so much wealth that their friends, family and colleagues also joined the party. Such was the success of the Ethereum ICOs that only The Ethereum Kingdom grew more than 13,000% in 2017. Experts said: “It is an open network, so there is no ICO in CryptoLand that can be censored. No authority can ban it”. “All expectations are for this sector to grow further in 2018.” Many newly arrived Warriors (newbies) joined many Ideas for a Crypto Offensive (ICOs) with no knowledge of War and still returned successful landowners with big valuable crypto-bags on their pockets. Newbie Warriors said in the battlefield without too much knowledge of what it really meant. “ they told to each other happily. “Buy low, sell high”, “The trend is your friend” Oh! This is nothing, just the Optimism Phase, we still have 2 years of growth and adoption in front of us!” Cryptoland ICOs allowed the standard serf of Fiatland to feel like a Lord. Warrior A: — “ Bitcoin has already gone to 16.000, it is impossible to make a fast x4 on it. I prefer to buy cheap undervalued technology.” Warrior B: — “Me too. I am joining an ICO regarding drones. That one is going to F***** Moon!” Warrior C: — “Today I’ve received on my ICO tracker a project about AI + Robotics + Blockchain. I am going full on it!” Warrior A: — “That’s nothing! I am an Early Investor on the Pre-ICO of a decentralized platform that is going to disrupt the payments world. Even Floyd Mayweather is joining in!” Everything was easy, fast and profitable… Warrior D: — “Let me check my BLOCKFOLIO. I have invested in catchy names: REKT, PIGGY, WOW, PIRATE, POT, TRUMP, UFO, BNANA…” . Marketing Man, Marketing. Catchy names have many more possibilities of getting stick to the brain than other names… It is just superior marketing! They are gonna F****** blow up!!!” Warrior B: — “Look and cry! I am already X2 in my Portfolio from October to New Year’s day 2018!!! , My wife is so happy!!!  —  I am going to add to my crypto holdings from our savings.” — Warrior A: — Do Your Own Research man! That is what I do. Look at this ICO I found: NEUROCHAIN. This one is just a F***** Lambo. Let me read from the web because it is for knowledgeable Devs: “NeuroChain is powered by an ecosystem of smart, fast, secure Bots that learn, evolve and get smarter. Ultimately, they will autonomously resolve issues and propose solutions. NeuroChain replaces blockchain’s brute Proof of Work and Proof of Stake protocols by a powerful Consensus Based on Involvement. Built upon the logic of the human brain” (sic) Warrior B: — “ Wow” Warrior C: — “Wow” Warrior A: — “Its like a new intelligent bot for an augmented Blockchain with next generation Proof of Involvement ecological protocol…” Warrior D: — “You know what I say: If it sounds good JUST BUY IT. I think I am selling some of my gains in TRON CLASSIC to buy that one.” The party was like this day after day. At the end of The Year of the Lord of 2017 the Ethereum Token territories were out of control. Warrior A: — “Check out my new Babies!: (sic) 0XBITCOIN: “The best of BTC and ETH together” (sic) HERBALIST TOKEN “Global Rare Herbs Market on the Blockchain” (sic) PARKING GO “Token to meet the demand of parking space on Milan Malpensa Airport” (sic) SAND COIN “Quality Sand investing in Russia” (sic) BIBLEPAY “Proof-of-Bible Hash” Warrior B: — There is definitely a huge market for that one. (sic) ORMEUS COIN “New Digital money system backed by Industrial Crypto Operations”, “Powered by green energy mining” (sic) STOREUM “Unleash the power of your store through the Blockchain” “Storeum targeted token price: $100” Warrior A: — “ Today’s price is $0,016 for STOREUM TOKEN!!!. I am not going to get greedy, I will sell early at $50. I am happy with a 5000X “ Warrior B: — “ ” F***** cheap! Buy Low sell High!!! Warrior D: — “ ” Buy when there is blood on the streets!!! After all this, 2018 was a bloodbath… HEY HEY HEEEYYY… HEY HEY HEEEYYY… WASSA, WASSA, WASSA, WASSA, WASSAAAP… B***********!!!!!!!! Wikipedia “A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent ones… It can maintain the illusion of a sustainable business as long as new investors contribute new funds, and as long as most of the investors do not demand full repayment” THE BITCONNECT STORY by Carlos Matos “Hi, my name is Carlos Matos, I am from New York city, NY.
