This was somehow a quick read even tho its 44 pages (!). Highly recommended. Motivated me to order his latest book goodreads.com/book/show/5658…

I’ve been reading Vaclav Smil forever. This is yet another amazing write up from him on the extreme challenge of a second large energy transition TLDR, it is going to take way, way longer than anyone wants it to. Must read: privatebank.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jp…

Really impressive stuff from ClearMarkets, using @Cordablockchain for wrapping BTC and USDC for exchange of initial and variation margin of (crypto) derivatives on Corda Network at lower costs + benefit of Zodia as regulated custodian

Congratulations to #ClearMarkets + all counterparties involved in the execution of the first #crypto options trades, where #Corda played a role in ensuring the robust risk management. R3's @Mcdtv spoke to @KatLeighDoherty at @Bloomberg Discover here: bit.ly/3Pwpyp3

Some very sage writing advice from the 🐐 of sitting down and just ****ing writing and having it be brilliant. Also “Do you beat yourself up because you know you should be sharing more knowledge but never quite get round to it?” I feel seen…
