New @FREOPP: Our paper on how to end the cycle of tuition hikes and student loan bailouts, and actually reduce the cost of higher education, building on reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Taxpayers spend $150 billion per year on student financial aid. A quarter of that debt will never be repaid, and it's taxpayers rather than the colleges who will absorb the loss.
@Avik and @JustinWStapley outline how Congress can implement accountability: freopp.org/whitepapers/highe…

A CFO has bitcoin to custody tomorrow. Where should it sit?
Avik Roy of Strive makes the case for the US. Jay Lee of Hauzen LLP makes it for Hong Kong. Tracy Hoyos-Lopez of Kraken moderates.

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. "
People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

Could backlash against anti-Muslim and anti-Hindu hostility affect Texas’s Senate race?
Many Texans in those communities have South Asian roots. A 2024 estimate put Texas’s eligible South Asian electorate near 400,000.
For perspective: Beto O’Rourke lost to Ted Cruz in 2018 by 214,921 votes—just 2.56 points.
That’s not 400,000 unclaimed votes. But hypothetically, if @jamestalarico added 400,000 votes to Beto’s tally while the Republican total stayed the same, he’d win by 185,079.
Under that scenario? GOOD NIGHT, PAXTON.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight at you, then they add you to their Long-Term Capital Markets Assumptions paper and predict you'll be the best-performing asset of the next decade.
