Would a possible US gov’t shutdown have an impact on crypto? My thinking at a high level is that the event may cause uncertainty in USD, possibly driving folks to crypto. Not making a bet though..

Yeah, that’s exotic wishful thinking

The sky didnt fall in previous government shutdowns, doubt it will this time.

A temporary reduction in government services will not cause businesses to suddenly accept variants of cryptocurrency because most coins are, in fact, all but useless to them. But this is of course a fundamental problem with these coins in general and particularly the altcoins.

A shutdown also won’t cause any US businesses to suddenly start accepting pounds, pesos, euros, rupees, etc. domestically. Accepting any non-dollar currency will merely increase their cost of doing business as they have to convert it to something they can actually use (dollars).

This lack of usefulness of most coins is probably a greater risk to them than the current speculation as it’s an existential problem.

Cross posted: Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-One LLC, so only one PPM
-Multiple investors that can be onboarded anytime
-Multiple investments that investors can determine whether or not they want to invest in
-One K-1 per investor based on their investments and income
-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
To me this seems extremely cumbersome and would require multiple classes of (cont’d)
