<p>We’re currently watching one of the the largest events in Crypto history. </p> <p>The sketchy outlook in the markets has triggered a run on the UST stablecoin, which began destabilizing in the last several weeks.</p> <p>As time progressed, the peg worsened, and it eventually rolled over into a complete crash of both the value of UST, and the native asset LUNA.</p> <p>What led to the crash? Was it a coordinated attack, or an inevitable collapse?</p> <p>What Red Flags were there ahead of time? What’s the fallout from all of this? What lessons can we learn? </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>⚡️ MAKER DAO | THE DAI STABLECOIN<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 6:30 Explaining the Terra Ecosystem<br /> 9:30 Tail Risk and Background<br /> 13:50 Bitcoin, Curve, and Monsters<br /> 17:54 The Initial Destabilization<br /> 20:14 The Panic Begins<br /> 24:40 The Charts<br /> 27:18 A Total Collapse<br /> 32:30 Regulators Get Involved<br /> 35:08 Was This An Attack?<br /> 37:58 The Collateral Damage<br /> 40:00 Do Kwon’s Big Talk<br /> 41:52 Rick Sanchez and Basis Cash<br /> 44:08 Community Response<br /> 46:05 How Do We Move On?<br /> 49:14 Don’t Take Shortcuts</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Anchor Protocol:<br /> <a href= "https://app.anchorprotocol.com/earn">https://app.anchorprotocol.com/earn</a> <br /> Buying Bitcoin:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/LFG_Reserve/status/1507688906820620291">https://twitter.com/LFG_Reserve/status/1507688906820620291</a> <br /> Curve Pools:<br /> <a href= "https://dune.com/SebVentures/UST">https://dune.com/SebVentures/UST</a> <br /> Binance Orderbook:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/hasufl/status/1523817151471230976?s=20&t=FiTLk5ce5JmTg_s7QnWgMw"> https://twitter.com/hasufl/status/1523817151471230976?s=20&t=FiTLk5ce5JmTg_s7QnWgMw</a> <br /> External Collateral:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ThinkingBitmex/status/1523526622044860416">https://twitter.com/ThinkingBitmex/status/1523526622044860416</a> <br /> Deploying More Capital:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1523733542492016640">https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1523733542492016640</a> <br /> Collapse:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/ryanberckmans/status/1523712585794977792">https://twitter.com/ryanberckmans/status/1523712585794977792</a> <br /> Bitconnect:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/TrustlessState/status/1524451573908209664?s=20&t=1cKzW3BXwfKsAdFAsObfLQ"> https://twitter.com/TrustlessState/status/1524451573908209664?s=20&t=1cKzW3BXwfKsAdFAsObfLQ</a> <br /> Historical:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/nic__carter/status/1524233730717585409?s=20&t=azvpduGJEOCfqyNCUFSBWA"> https://twitter.com/nic__carter/status/1524233730717585409?s=20&t=azvpduGJEOCfqyNCUFSBWA</a> <br /> Janet Yellen:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/tier10k/status/1524031909067698180?s=20&t=FiTLk5ce5JmTg_s7QnWgMw"> https://twitter.com/tier10k/status/1524031909067698180?s=20&t=FiTLk5ce5JmTg_s7QnWgMw</a> <br /> Coordinated Attack:<br /

With these headwinds, The Infinite Machine movie is set to disrupt Hollywood in more ways than one.</p> <p>Reflecting on how she got to this point and the long road ahead, our biggest questions are... wen movie?

Karl Floersch is the co-founder of Optimism, the Ethereum rollup scaling solution, as well as one of the primary advocates in the space for public goods funding. <p>Through his prolific body of work—as well as a boundless well of optimism and energy—Karl is a core beating heart of Ethereum culture, as well as a schelling point for values and ethos across the ecosystem.</p> <p>We say it every episode: the code we write impacts the people who use it. Few embody this declaration more than Karl, whose deepest passion is building technological infrastructure to incentivize ethical behavior.</p> <p>We also explore the concept of ‘Ether’s Phoenix,’ a hypothetical being that rewards you for manifesting it—directly contrasting the concept of Roko’s Basilisk (research at your own risk). </p> <p>------<br /> 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Opolis">https://bankless.cc/Opolis</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ </a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>⚡️ MAKER DAO | THE DAI STABLECOIN<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 5:00 Inspiration and Leaders<br /> 10:10 Road to Ethereum<br /> 16:13 For the Right Reasons<br /> 21:12 Embedding Values<br /> 28:35 The School of Fish<br /> 34:38 The Future Karl Sees<br /> 42:00 The Human Body Metaphor<br /> 47:44 The Decentralized Brain<br /> 52:25 Retroactive Public Goods Funding<br /> 57:14 Distributing Funds<br /> 1:01:08 Unprecedented Opportunity<br /> 1:04:59 R*ku’s B*silisk<br /> 1:08:39 Ether’s Phoenix (caw!)<br /> 1:15:40 A Just Utopia</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Karl Floersch:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/karl_dot_tech">https://twitter.com/karl_dot_tech</a> <br /> Optimism:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/optimismPBC">https://twitter.com/optimismPBC</a> <br /> Ether’s Phoenix:<br /> <a href= "https://medium.com/ethereum-optimism/ethers-phoenix-18fb7d7304bb">https://medium.com/ethereum-optimism/ethers-phoenix-18fb7d7304bb</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

In addition, he is President of the Interchain Foundation.</p> <p>Today, he comes on Bankless to tell us why we’re wrong.</p> <p>This episode’s dialectic explores the fate of the blockchain ecosystem—will we have a multi-chain sprawl of different protocols, or will we see a few chains with a power law distribution?</p> <p>We dive into the value of monetary premium, set against the opposing side of monetary clearing and velocity.</p> <p>And what does this all mean for security?</p> <p>The ultimate answer we seek is how to avoid turning the world into a dystopia. On either side of the tyranny spectrum lies anarchy and autocracy, so perhaps the answer rests somewhere in the middle.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ </a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "https://availableon.com/bankless">https://availableon.com/bankless</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>⚡️ MAKER DAO | THE DAI STABLECOIN<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 An Internet Biophysicist<br /> 6:10 Why Is Bankless Wrong? <br /> 9:35 Network Topology<br /> 15:55 Co-op Full vs Bankless<br /> 23:06 Monetary Premium vs Clearing<br /> 33:25 Empires vs City-States<br /> 44:48 Discussing the EVM<br /> 51:59 The Role of Bitcoin<br /> 56:39 DeFi vs ReFi<br /> 1:00:49 Systems and Cycles<br /> 1:09:00 The Network Effect of Money<br /> 1:14:48 Mutual Exclusivity<br /> 1:19:34 Layer 2 vs Cosmos<br /> 1:26:38 Cooperative Democracies<br /> 1:32:31 Plutocracy<br /> 1:42:15 Chaos and Order<br /> 1:47:55 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Map of Zones<br /> <a href= "https://mapofzones.com/">https://mapofzones.com/</a> <br /> Debt: The First 5000 Years<br /> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years</a> <br /> Cosmos EVM<br /> <a href="https://evmos.org/">https://evmos.org/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode<br /> <a href= "https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/114-vitalik-debrief">https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/114-vitalik-debrief</a> </p> <p>----<br /> Vitalik returns to Bankless once again—this time to defend Bitcoin Maximalism of all things. On April Fools Day this year, Vitalik posted an article to his blog titled 'In Defense of Bitcoin Maximalism,' but instead of being a pure troll, the Ethereum Founder approached the piece with truth and crafted a salient & compelling argument.</p> <p>By steel-manning maximalism, Vitalik lays out a very reasonable case for the merits intolerance and toxicity. Philosophical and contrarian episodes like these help us understand the industry better, encouraging empathy for all sides of the debate.</p> <p>We explore this in context of Ethereum maximalism as well, and Vitalik offers some sage advice to Bankless. This conversation is far more philosophy-based than tech-based, but as we've seen, Vitalik is as comfortable in this setting as he is discussing the latest EIPs or protocol upgrades.</p> <p>Also, Vitalik spills the tea on Twitter's new favorite drink—the VB.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 THE GRAPH | Graph Day in San Francisco | June 2-5<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GraphDay">https://bankless.cc/GraphDay</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>⚡️ LIDO | LIQUID ETH STAKING<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/lido">https://bankless.cc/lido</a> </p> <p>🔐 LEDGER | NANO S PLUS WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger </a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 8:30 Green Tea and Twitter Hate<br /> 15:47 The April Fools Article<br /> 22:35 Crypto Grifters and Security<br /> 29:22 Taking Responsibility<br /> 37:19 Performative Weirdness<br /> 43:33 The Culture Stack<br /> 49:14 Value Tradeoffs<br /> 53:40 Lessons from BTC Maximalism<br /> 57:45 Why Maximalism is Good<br /> 1:02:30 Why Maximalism is Ridiculous<br /> 1:12:16 The Best of Both Worlds<br /> 1:16:10 Bored Weird Vitalik NFTs<br /> 1:23:05 Spotlights vs Insults<br /> 1:29:30 ETH Maximalism<br /> 1:39:41 Advice for Bankless<br /> 1:45:15 Composability & Onboarding<br /> 1:53:00 The Middle Path</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Vitalik on Twitter:<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin">https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin</a> </p> <p>Vitalik's Blog Post:<br /> <a href= "https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/04/01/maximalist.html">https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/04/01/maximalist.html</a> </p> <p>Time Magazine:<br /> <a href= "https://time.com/6158182/vitalik-buterin-ethereum-profile/">https://time.com/6158182/vitalik-buterin-ethereum-profile/</a> </p> <p>Survive, Thrive Theory of the Political Spectrum: <a href= "https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/04/a-thrivesurvive-theory-of-the-political-spectrum/"> https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/04/a-thrivesurvive-theory-of-the-political-spectrum/</a> </p> <p>Bored Weird Vitalik Club:<br /> <a href= "https://weirdvitalik.com/">https://weirdvitalik.com/</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Sam Kazemian is the founder of Frax, the fractional-algorithmic stablecoin protocol. After co-founding the decentralized Wikipedia startup Everipedia, Sam set out to pioneer the algorithmic stablecoin space. The FRAX stablecoin now has a market cap of over $2.6 billion, and the protocol’s FXS governance token is up 300% in the last year. </p> <p>In this episode, we explore the Stablecoin Wars, in which different protocols compete for liquidity and composability in DeFi. Sam brings a 1st-person perspective into the developments surrounding UST and the recently launched 4pool on Curve, which consists of stablecoins UST, FRAX, USDT, and USDC.</p> <p>A highlight of this conversation is Sam’s parable of an archetypal central bank, in which he cruises through a number of salient takes on money markets and macroeconomics. There is a lot to learn about this Cambrian explosion of financial technology, and Sam is a great teacher. Stick around to find out why walked away from this conversation bullish on Frax.</p> <p>------<br /> 📣 M·A·C: NFT | Keith Haring Collection for a Good Cause<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MAC">https://bankless.cc/MAC</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>🏦 ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>👻 AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>⚡️ MAKER DAO | THE DAI STABLECOIN<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> </p> <p>🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 3:30 Sam from Frax<br /> 7:50 The Stablecoin Narrative<br /> 13:45 The Central Bank Parable<br /> 24:45 Backing an Exchange Rate</p> <p>28:10 Frax Analytics | What is Frax?<br /> 37:34 Frax Analytics | The Peg<br /> 42:30 Frax Analytics | Comparing<br /> 45:03 RSA Gets Frax-Pilled</p> <p>49:42 MIM vs UST<br /> 53:16 The LUNA Token<br /> 56:41 Frax Roadmap | FPI</p> <p>1:04:36 The 4pool<br /> 1:14:00 The Stablecoin Wars<br /> 1:18:35 What Happens Next?<br /> 1:23:20 Closing & Disclaimers</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Sam on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/samkazemian">https://twitter.com/samkazemian</a> </p> <p>Frax Finance<br /> <a href= "https://app.frax.finance/">https://app.frax.finance/</a> </p> <p>Decentralized Finance and the Debt Cycles<br /> <a href= "https://academy.blue-swan.io/blog/decentralized-finance-and-the-debt-cycles"> https://academy.blue-swan.io/blog/decentralized-finance-and-the-debt-cycles</a> </p> <p>Market Share Chart<br /> <a href= "https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/decentralized-finance/stablecoins/total-crypto-backed-and-algorithmic-stablecoin-supply"> https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/decentralized-finance/stablecoins/total-crypto-backed-and-algorithmic-stablecoin-supply</a> </p> <p>Do Kwon’s 4pool Tweet<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1510021707377287170">https://twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1510021707377287170</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Terra is exploding. Do Kwon and the Terra ecosystem are turning Bitcoin into their collateral asset of choice to backstop LUNA and the UST stablecoin. Over the last several weeks, the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) have bought over 30,000 BTC... and they don't plan to stop there.</p> <p>As the LFG climbs the ranks of bitcoin holders, Do Kwon has started playing empire games—claiming victory over the Curve Wars with the 4pool (which contains UST, Frax, USDC, and USDT), calling for the end of DAI, and attempting to build out the Terra ecosystem as the ultimate power in the universe.</p> <p>Is Terra (UST) the future of crypto money? Or is it a ticking time bomb waiting to explode? Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle, so we're going to debate it. From the bull side is Delphi Digital's José Maria Macedo, and representing the skeptics is Selini Capital's Jordi Alexander.</p> <p>------<br /> CONSENSYS | M·A·C: NFT Collection for a Good Cause<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MAC">https://bankless.cc/MAC</a> </p> <p>------<br /> SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> <br /> ️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> </p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:</p> <p>️ ARBITRUM | SCALED ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> </p> <p>ALTO IRA | TAX-FREE CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA">https://bankless.cc/AltoIRA</a> </p> <p>AAVE V3 | LEND & BORROW CRYPTO<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/aave">https://bankless.cc/aave</a> </p> <p>️ MAKER DAO | THE DAI STABLECOIN<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> </p> <p>BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Timestamps:</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 7:30 LUNA/UST Fundamental Properties<br /> 15:15 The Balance Between LUNA/ETH<br /> 20:00 Why Bullish/Bearish?<br /> 25:28 Why is UST a Successful Stable?<br /> 30:19 Are Algo-Stablecoins Unstable?<br /> 42:25 Anchor's Utility<br /> 48:02 Do Kwon $10B Purchase of LUNA<br /> 52:02 Is UST Becoming a Bank?<br /> 57:00 Risks of De-pegging<br /> 1:06:30 Has LUNA/UST Been Tested?<br /> 1:15:00 Do Kwon & Decentralization<br /> 1:27:50 Do Kwon's 4pool<br /> 1:39:05 Potential Nightmare Scenarios<br /> 1:48:04 Closing Arguments</p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Jordi Alexander CIO of Selini Capital<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/gametheorizing">https://twitter.com/gametheorizing</a> </p> <p>Jose Macedo Founding Partner, Delphi Digital<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/zemariamacedo">https://twitter.com/zemariamacedo</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.
