Pieter-Steph, 100 caps. Never complained, never took a shortcut, just outworked everyone. The definition of a Springbok. 100 tests for a guy who plays like every test is his first and last. Respect forever, PSDT.

Excited to announce that @JSeyff and I have a new book coming out this fall called "Both Sides of the Coin" which is available for pre-order now. We thought it was time for a fresh look at bitcoin/crypto post-ETF and sought to write a fair and balanced book for everyday TradFi investors as well as crypto natives that tracks the risks, rewards, evolution and financialization of the asset class as well as the growing debasement/debt problem. We took great pains to cover as much as ground as poss in this 370-page book, no stone was left unturned. Here's a look at the chapters: 1. Bitcoin in a Nutshell (much more of an engineering feat than most ppl think) 2. The Currency Debasement Problem (inflation, debt etc is crucial for anyone hoping to understand the ‘purpose’ of btc as well as the rise of socialist politicians) 3. Store of Value Smackdown (btc vs gold) 4. Bitcoin in a Portfolio (hot sauce, for now) 5. The Filing Heard 'Round the World (the untold inside story of how Blk/Larry Fink evolved enough to file for ETF) 6. The ETF Solution (ETFs have solved for good bitcoin’s ‘intermediary problem’ eg FTX, Coldcard etc) 7. Suitcoiners (wall street/govt adoption, which OGs should embrace not dump on) 8. Alt Coins (top 12-ish cryptos explained in detail as well as how to evaluate them) 9. A Tokenized Future (the blockchain-ization of wall st and beyond)

🚨 Sam Altman: "It will be a perfect surveillance state." The CEO of OpenAI is warning about "no privacy, no agency, no freedom" and perfect surveillance... But sure… Keep calling the people who've been sounding the alarm for years “conspiracy theorists.”
