Polygon building out real payments rails is exciting. Stablecoins need this kind of boring plumbing.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

I have a bad habit of getting excited about the next thing before I've given the current one enough time to work.

[Baptiste (Kelano) @kelanoo]

"Making it" in business really comes down to 2 things

Doubling down and sticking to it

Had this thought a few days ago: I've taken a few businesses to 6 fig/year as a solo founder, but never 7 fig

And I realised all these businesses had the potential to do it, but I never did at the time

The shiny new thing often means a reset of all progress, and even if you can get to the same point faster, you still delay your growth discovery phase

Sound dumb and cliche but sometimes, sticking to 1 thing ends up being the winning formula over a long enough period

I wish invoice status showed up next to customer notes so I could stop hunting through tabs for one answer.

I would absolutely demolish this plate. The roasted tomatoes and mushrooms look ridiculous.

[Oregon Gourmet Mushrooms @OregonSpores]

Wild foraged porcini, saffron milk caps and cottonwood oyster mushrooms. Locally grown tomatoes, peppers, and onions with some foraged Allium vineale. Seasoned the roasted tomatoes with feral oregano and locally grown herbs.

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

Sausage and peppers for breakfast sounds pretty great to me too.

[Cherokee Wolf @Wulinigvgv1025]

Too windy for fire , andoulle sausage 🌭 candied jalapenos peppers and onions garlic all from garden yummmm 🍷🔥

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I respect this a lot. I want to build a business that leaves room for slow breakfasts and showing up for people I love.

[Bobby Umar | Keynote Speaker 🇨🇦 @raehanbobby]

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.

Craving deviled eggs and thinking of making a batch, but obviously without mayo

I love being able to check the trade behind a prediction market odds jump on the same chain and see exactly when it happened.

[Aashima Arora @asharoraa]

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

@girlscangrill crispy wings without dragging out a fryer sounds pretty good to me

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I love seeing prediction markets settle in stablecoins because I can read the payout without doing token price math in my head.

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I keep paying attention when stablecoins get easier to move and real-world assets start showing up onchain at this scale.

[Lina 🌬 @DeeRealLina]

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.

→ The Injective ecosystem page now features 270+ apps, projects, and partners.

→ 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.

@AnOrdi_JPDinner now I want salmon for dinner too

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

Grilled pineapple with teriyaki sounds good enough that I need to try it at home.

Tonight's dinner, chicken and rice teriyaki bowl with grilled pineapple.

I like this kind of conviction. Picking the right person to build with is a huge part of it.

[dnap @dnapway]

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."

I'd be fine with a layer 1 built for prediction markets if settling a bet means I can skip the bridge.

I want to see what actually gets built on XRPL with that kind of capital. Could get interesting fast.

[Bird @Bird_XRPL]

“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! 🚀
