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.
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?

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.
