Hm... my tentative view is that SUI Foundation did the right thing by blocking the transfer of stolen funds. If a network IS factually centralized, you might as well reap the benefits of centralization when necessary. If you don't, users are getting the worst of both worlds: They

Great intro to network states by Logos. On the question of whether or not a network state should strive to obtain physical territory: I believe one of the core question here is taxes (boring, I know, but relevant nonetheless). The reason is that today, taxation for private

The Robinhood / Arbitrum thing is cool. But it also confuses me - here's why: 1/ Tokenized stocks have been around for years (didn't FTX have them?). Technically, it's trivial to tokenize a stock - the challenges are exclusively legal / regulatory. 2/ Legal problems are

When google did its IPO in 2004, they completely bypassed investment banks and sold their stock transparently via a Dutch auction. Back then, many proclaimed the end of the investment banking cartel in IPOs and the related phenomenon of systematic IPO underpricing. No such
