Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.

It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.

The breakdown is sponsored by nexo.io, circle, and FtX, and produced and distributed by CoinDesk.

What's going on, guys? It is Sunday, October 2nd, and that means it's time for Long Read Sunday.

Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying the breakdown, please go subscribe to it,

give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation,

come join us on the breakers Discord.

You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit.ly slash breakdown pod.

Also a disclosure, as always, in addition to them being a sponsor of the show, I also work with FTX.

All right, folks, welcome back to Long Reads Sunday.

And this week again, I think that we are going to focus on

threads from twitter i mentioned this before but the original long read sunday when i first started

using that name to describe content was a thread of threads on twitter i started it in early

2018 more than four years ago. And really what I noticed

is that there were so many great threads on Twitter that had everyone chatting about them and

talking about them for a day or even some number of hours, but then were pushed down by the

relentless pressure of new content on the feed. Threads were really powerful because you got more of people's

thoughts. There was room for more analysis than you'd get from a single tweet, but they were much

less imposing and difficult to compose and easier to start than writing a full essay.

Now, eventually that morphed into a newsletter and eventually that morphed into this podcast,

but I still think

there's value in capturing threads that might otherwise get lost to the pages of Twitter.
