Top crypto tweets of the day – May 16th

So yesterday @Ledger published an update for a service that sends your seed phrases to different companies

Which can be “opted out” but i feel like trust is now 100% broken because whether a person subscribes to the service the backdoor was always there to begin with pic.twitter.com/BkbCLShzsg

Let me pile on the request for a super technical write up about the functioning of the new @Ledger seed backup feature.

From the website explanation ( https://t.co/wpIynaJVwU ) it doesn't seem the seed can only be backed up at creation time, but it reads as if you could back the…

There are two things in #Bitcoin that you need to be prepared for.

1. An 80% drop in price at any time.

2. A 20x increase in price at any time.

This is why I don't believe in retiring early on your #BTC & I don't believe in dollar cost averaging.

Before the misinformed become involved: Dollar cost averaging = having a large sum of money that you *slowly* invest in an asset instead of putting it in in a lump sum. It does not mean putting aside a sum of your income every month. That is simply saving.

WSJ: The court filings shows that Jump Trading made some $1 billion in profit through its dealings with Terraform Labs. The January 2020 email outlined a deal in which Jump would boost the liquidity of "Terra and Luna," and Jump would get to buy Luna at 30 cents, 40 cents, and 50…

Dear American Law Makers,

Let's be clear:

The current pace of the SEC rule making is not only an embarrassment to the United States but a real and present danger.

Chair Gensler cites cases suggesting that 10-20 year rule makings are acceptable. pic.twitter.com/sEe8Mfq62c

One can appreciate that new technology can be challenging to understand the implications of and merits time to study.

Which is why despite crypto being created in 2010, it took other US regulators time to respond – but, respond they did.

Also @HesterPeirce how many decades did you work on your crypto safe harbor proposal?

I believe it was less than 0.1, right?

So qualified SEC commissioners can indeed develop nuanced rule making proposals in sub-decade timeframes?

Justin Sun attacked the younger brother of Huobi founder Lilin for obtaining zero-cost HT and selling, and will burn these HTs. Li Lin hopes that Sun should show evidence, and if it is true, he will pay 10x the compensation. Sun bought the Huobi exchange from Li Lin last year.…

Total costs to taxpayers were not revealed.

That's something that central bank shills like Alex "Digiconomist" de Vries don't like to see mentioned while spreading FUD about #Bitcoin using "too much energy." – because they know this is maximum fiat inefficiency. pic.twitter.com/qBt6anC756
