I've never trusted Twitter, and I honestly don't trust Telegram either. But Twitter is unsustainable and the latest decisions on who to "suspend" are the straw that broke the camel's back. Telegram is unknown from this point of view: in principle it can do even worse than Twitter, but in practice I don't know yet. This is an experiment.

From what I see, broadcast channels are great for broadcasting. I don't know yet if it will be good for generating discussions, which is this channel's real goal. In my opinion, the Telegram user interface should help in this sense: it's all a dialogue that branches off. Better than Twitter threads.

A few days ago I shared a reddit post about non-fungible tokens. In this post I have fun extrapolating the consequences of NFTs and the new financial possibilities they'll create. Enjoy the copy/paste while it lasts.
