I asked Claude about the new Bitcoin-backed loans service from Coinbase

What Is Morpho?

Morpho is a DeFi lending platform where users can borrow and lend digital assets.

ADDMO, a French association, only provides the website interface (front-end) to access these blockchain-based protocols.

Main Concerns for Investors

1. Zero Liability: ADDMO takes no responsibility for any losses, regardless of size or cause

2. Minimal Protection: Maximum compensation is capped at $1,000, even for large losses

3. Hidden Fees: Performance fees can change up to 50% with only 24 hours notice

4. Liquidation Risks: Your collateral can be liquidated if loan-to-value ratios are exceeded

5. Geographic Restrictions: US/UK persons and certain territories are prohibited

6. No Control: ADDMO can transfer the agreement to another company without notice

Bottom Line

These terms heavily favor ADDMO by placing all risk on users. While common in DeFi, these terms provide virtually no protections for investors if something goes wrong.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Library card + Libby is a pretty good start for individual access online.

I’d imagine for anyone looking for access to data they’d have to find a library or multiple that’s willing to publish all their book data in public.

Lowering the bar maybe but also creating massive opportunities for millions of individuals that always had ideas of what to build, but lacked technical expertise. Progress isn’t linear 📉📈

Anyone else had a really uncomfortable last few days? Like this isn’t the end of hate and violence but the beginning of something awful?

I’m grateful something terrible didn’t take place to the former president, but I can’t help but feel an event like this will warp the psyche of already vulnerable individuals.

Maybe just cynicism taking hold, but the more I meditate on the events that transpired, the more I forego bad conclusions.

Chicks dig the long ball!
