The University of Mississippi School of Law now has racial quotas for their formally prestigious law review and their moot court team. Federal judges should rethink putting such emphasis on these extracurriculars when seeking law clerks.

The ivy league schools are a joke at this point. Most of the students are there because they're part of a minority group or their parents bankrolled their acceptance. I can confidently say I'm putting anyone born after 1998 with an ivy league degree on their resume at the bottom of prospective applicants for a job.

Since starting #law school I have spent a lot of time thinking about how cost prohibitive the civil justice system is in the United States. What is even more disheartening is how much I learn the system tries to filter out and block cases from ever getting their day in court under the guise of "judicial efficiency."
I do not know much about #smartcontracts, but I think they show promise in creating alternatives for small value contracts to create their own justice.

Writing an article discussing #jurisdiction and #bitcoin . I'm starting by characterizing bitcoin as tangible property and therefore is situated in the jurisdiction it resides. Naturally, that raises the question where is bitcoin? I think the most capable answer is wherever the private key is located. However, where is bitcoin in a multi-sig wallet when keys are in different jurisdictions?

Its interesting to me that all the conversations about COVID reflect on the lockdowns and the reaction to the virus, rather than the virus itself. Suggests to me the real tragedies were the consequences of government reaction, and not the result of the virus itself.

This year feels like it is going to be pivotal in the future of finance and freedom in the digital world. I grow more and more concerned about the threat CBDCs and tokenization pose to digital privacy and liberty. It is imperative we draw red lines against CBDCs and authoritarian tools to control the financial system while building decentralized alternatives so people can opt out.

Deposits are a contract right though. If courts aren't willing to enforce them, they have no value. Specific money is capable of exclusive possession and alienable even though it is fungible. When I spend bitcoin I am spending specific bitcoin.

I think it is more similar to a bailment because it is capable of exclusive possession and alienable.

Thanks for your responses! This is the conundrum I find myself in. I think a bitcoin wallet takes some of the characteristics of an intangible as well as a tangible. Part of my argument rests on treating it like a tangible because:
(1) it can be exclusively possessed, as you pointed out ("I can transact from the UTXOs I can sign as inputs. But it's up to me when or whether I will"),
(2) ownership of it expresses a property right in it of itself, and
(3) it is alienable.
A typical intangible would be a stock certificate or a contract right. The contract and the stock certificate are physical, but they rely on the legal system to give them effect. The certificate and the contract are not the valuable part, just representations of ownership in something else.
The private key = password is analogous for the most part, but one key attribute is that the password gets you into account controlled by someone else. Social media account, bank acct, etc. They have intermediaries. The private key can be used to deprive all others of control over the wallet, making it capable of true exclusive possession.
Additionally, I could throw my key away or write it down and leave it somewhere, making it alienable. The wallet does not have to be tethered to someone.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Does this make sense to you? Is there a more common sense approach?

Gensler has walked back previous comments that ETH also being a commodity. ETH may face more scrutiny since the SEC is suggesting ETH may be an unregistered security and frankly given the high centralization of the project and the premining, a strong case exists.

In the fixed supply environment that is Bitcoin doesn't price grow exponentially based on demand? It is relatively stable when supply and demand are at parity but as soon as demand outstrips supply, if the supply cannot be increased then price goes parabolic.

The high fees have had me thinking about this a lot lately. I currently have no channels open bc i don't really have any reason to send bitcoin daily (though I'd love to) and the cost of opening a channel right now is quite prohibitive without some real motivation to pay the price. The day I can use bitcoin on an amazon like platform, I'll be on a bitcoin standard and never look back.

Talked a lot about the ability to put limitations on what welfare disbursements could be spent on and prohibiting it from being used to avoid sanctions. Of course the glaringly obvious issue I saw was if that is possible, then making your money expire is possible, locking down your wallet is possible, etc. I did bring up the growing weaponization of the finance industry and how programmability can be used to unplug political dissidents and other draconian measures.

Absolutely! Discussed this the other day in one of my law school classes when talking about CBDCs. We were discussing the "benefits," one of which being the programmability of money.
