The following is a guest post and opinion of Jeff Garzik, Co-founder of Hemi Labs.

As the crypto industry moves toward all-pervading decentralized finance (DeFi) interoperability, however, this mindset is rapidly becoming not only irrelevant but even harmful to the sector. Bitcoin maximalism really took shape in the early days of crypto, back when Bitcoin was the only truly decentralized and trustless store of value, with a proven protocol and a…

This is a segment from the Lightspeed newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. If you want to build in Web3, you’ve pretty much always needed to know how to code. Not necessarily at an elite level, but at least a baseline understanding. That plus lots of late nights, semicolon-heavy syntax, compiler errors, and a burly stack of ever-open documentation tabs. The technical barrier was part of the “chewing glass” culture. Gatekeeping, maybe, but also a necessary filter in an ecosystem where one misplaced line in a smart contract could drain a treasury. That filter is eroding fast these days, however.…

Her first chart, sourced from the Federal Reserve’s FRED database, displayed a stark decoupling: the unemployment rate is down, yet the fiscal deficit has surged past 7% of GDP. “This started around 2017, went into overdrive during the pandemic, and hasn’t corrected,” Alden said. “That’s not normal. We’re in a new era.” She didn’t mince words. “Nothing stops this train because there are no brakes attached to it anymore. The brakes are heavily impaired. Why should Bitcoiners care? Because,…
