For my kids' early years, I deliberately ran my business at about 25 hours a week.
Slower growth, in exchange for being present.
I don't say work-life balance. Work isn't the opposite of life. It's one part of it, under one roof.
a lot of neoclouds are pivoting to inference without any real differentiation. i don’t think this ends well
the market has two dynamics:
• compute supply is constrained, so revenue is growing even for undifferentiated providers
• frontier labs are competing aggressively for talent, creating a natural path to consolidation
but revenue growth is not the same as a sustainable business!
10 companies selling effectively the same product can not all:
1. go public: wall street will butcher 10 capita intensive, undifferentiated businesses
2. get acquired: strategic buyers have limited appetite for overlapping infra
3. stay private: continuous capex and working capital requirements make independence v expensive
my bet: if none of the new ones productise, they get consolidated into players like @baseten/ @FireworksAI_HQ or the big labs
the rest face a vicious cycle:
capital constraints → talent attrition → weaker products → lower customer retention → irrelevance…
the bottleneck today is supply. the moat tomorrow has to be something else

A new whitepaper, a major institutional partnership, more ways to move USDC, and over $1B in tokenized RWAs. There’s a lot to unpack from @injective latest updates.
The new whitepaper is the first complete rewrite since December 2018, detailing native RWA tokenization, programmable asset permissions, iAssets, and infrastructure for financial applications and AI agents.
Other developments include:
→ Gulf Labs, part of Thailand’s $27B GULF Group, selected Injective for its institutional validator.
→ Canary confirmed its upcoming Staked INJ ETF under the ticker INJC.
→ CCTP now enables native USDC transfers to Injective from EVM chains and Solana.

→ Trench Treasury distributed its first $INJ rewards, while Stockdrop gave eligible users a way to earn tokenized stocks by burning $INJ.
→ Helix recorded $832M in 7 day trading volume, and Injective surpassed $1B in tokenized real world assets.
There’s also more happening around institutional adoption, privacy, and quantum resistance, with $INJ gaining wider visibility across trading platforms.
From the protocol itself to the projects building on it, @injective continues to expand its role in onchain finance.

Mark Zuckerberg says Alexandr Wang is the sharpest entrepreneur of his generation: "Alex is the guy. He's the fucking guy."
"Alex and I had spent a bunch of time talking over the years, and maybe once every few months or something we'd talk. And I was always just very impressed by how he thought about things strategically."
"I kind of had this view of like, all right, currently he's doing this very operational data business, but it always felt to me like he was the sharpest entrepreneur of his generation of the ones who I had a chance to meet."
"I think maybe when we got started, a lot of people were like, okay, like how is this going to work? It's like the social media guy is working with the data guy. Like, are we going to build a frontier lab here or what?"
"My really strong conviction is because I talked to all the leaders of all the labs, all the heads of research, all this stuff, and I was like, no, Alex is the guy. Like he's the fucking guy."
"We need this kind of strategic clarity that he has around the different ways that we want to approach this, the kind of extreme focus on talent density, on the clarity of communicating the different vision which we kind of fashioned together over this period."
"And a bunch of things that I think were kind of extreme but have basically worked, like having this very flat culture was something that you were kind of really obsessed with."
“But nothing is happening.”
YES. IT. IS. 🚨
The LARGEST publicly traded XRP treasury company on the planet has officially debuted on Nasdaq TODAY under $XRPN!
Let that sink in.
Evernorth holds approximately 473 MILLION XRP and has raised around $300 MILLION in additional capital.
And here’s where things get REALLY exciting.
This isn’t a company simply buying XRP and sitting on it.
Evernorth intends to put that XRP and its capital to WORK across the XRP Ledger ecosystem.
We’re talking about providing liquidity, supporting onchain projects, generating trading activity, investing in infrastructure and helping grow the entire XRP economy.
Just imagine what that level of institutional capital and participation could mean for XRPL projects.
More liquidity. More opportunities. More volume. More investment. And potentially some absolutely MONSTER candles across the ecosystem.
This is one of the BIGGEST developments we’ve seen for XRP and the XRP Ledger in YEARS.
And the most exciting part?
The company’s journey as a publicly traded XRP treasury is only just beginning.
As someone who has spent years building and investing in this ecosystem, I genuinely couldn’t be more excited about what comes next.
WHAT A TIME TO BE BUILDING ON THE XRP LEDGER! 🚀

Salesforce’s proposed Listen Labs acquisition goes straight to a valuable business input: understanding customers before making the next decision.
The September 29 announcement describes an AI-powered research and human simulation platform. Its agents design studies, recruit participants, conduct interviews and synthesize findings. Salesforce says the platform can draw on a network of more than 50 million participants and support interviews in over 120 languages.
Listen Labs also uses digital twins grounded in customer behavior to generate simulated responses to products, messages and ideas. Those simulations are designed to help teams compare approaches before additional customer testing.
Salesforce expects the acquisition to complement Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud and its broader AI portfolio. Closing is expected in fiscal fourth-quarter 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory clearance. The strategic link is research insight flowing into customer-facing workflows.
