On: Regulators should treat stablecoins like banks

You are correct. Last time I checked, more than 50% backed by USDC. Makes no sense as the whole point of censorship resistance is defeated.

[shawabawa3 → njade]

from https://daistats.com/#/overview it's currently ~26% USDC

It's also 200% collateralised so USDC could go to zero (or freeze all of the DAI locked USDC) without breaking the peg on DAI

Where/how did you check this? >50% of USDC sounds unreasonably high.

I have to say - the course is very well organised. For me atleast, the structure and flow is exactly how I approach my learning. A video overview -> a though provoking discussion -> the problems -> hints -> academic paper -> solution. Neat.

I'm not sure if evernote does the same technique, in my experience, evernote app scans documents pretty well most of the time.

From now, when you logout of LinkedIn, you will be redirected to msn.com :P

Cool work! Kudos. Will try this. FYI - I have been doing a similar project for evolutionary algorithms using Erlang OTP/Elixir. I plug `Collenchyma` (part of Autumn Architecture) to do number-crunching and computationally intensive tasks. I'm curious about how >distributed optimization of networks is done. :) (y)
