TIL Alice and Bob were almost Adolf and Bertholt
Rich Schroepell made the suggestion for the RSA paper:
"Another literary suggestion: name your protagonists, perhaps Adolf and Bertholt or somesuch. This would reserve isolated letters for mathematical quantities."

Spent the past few months in physical archives digging up this MIT report from 1983 about the NSA’s attempts to limit cryptography research in universities

Human Global Payments = $3T
Machine Global Payments = $300T
We should be talking about stablecoins as offense tech, not "will replace legacy financial rails" tech.
The dollar's global reach is a matter of national security, and stablecoins let us secure USD as the standard reserve currency for our robot future
Sure stablecoins are great for replacing existing Visa transactions because they're cheaper + faster + blah blah blah, but the exciting opportunity is defining the financial and economic system for machines.
Pushing stablecoin adoption and increasing demand for USD via stablecoins is strategically very good for the US over the long-term.

Crypto is down across the board YTD with the exception of stablecoins.
in terms of market cap, USDT is +4% YTD and USDC Is +37%.
combined market cap of these 2 is ~75bps of the total 2.77T crypto market cap (small), but still very exciting that stablecoin adoption continues to rise despite price declines

May 1993 - Cypherpunks in Wired magazine
Encryption tech = defense tech
One of my favorite Cypherpunk quotes was written by Duncan Frissell in 1994:
"Software has a wonderful property, the Cypherpunks are fond of saying: Once it's created, it can never be destroyed. It can be copied infinitely, from computer to computer, spreading like a secret. Come what may, unbreakable Cypherpunk code, and Cypherpunk networks, will be out there forever, they hope."

Open source software has historically only gotten 5% of venture funding, but has created over $2,000 of value for every $1 invested!!!
Insane ROI.
Don’t sleep on open source.

My 76 year old father in law is having a piano recital next month and I’m literally going to make posters to cheer him on 🥹
anyone know why USDC volumes on Solana at the end of 2021 went insane? it's all bot activity but i can't identify what kind of bot activity / why it happened.

Did you know that the NSA allegedly installed a backdoor into banking software in the 1980s that allowed it to passively monitor fund flows on SWIFT??
They did this through stolen software which was then also sold to drug traffickers, allowing said traffickers to launder drug money directly through the banking system
