@hosseeb Thanks for sharing this

Not easy to share and yet highly relatable

It may seem like I’m stating the obvious. But what surprises me recently is how many people found themselves in denial of both the AI bubble and the crypto bear, at least until recent days and weeks.

Some may still be in denial. That’s OK. Markets change their mind eventually anyway, and it’s better for practical business reasons, and for mental clarity, not to obsess over prices. Though it is also good to have a sober view of reality.

[Cyrus evm @CyrusEVM]

We are definitionally in an AI bull market and bubble.

While also in a crypto bear market and crypto winter.

Meanwhile, both technologies have proven themselves to be world changing. They are good for society on balance, even when valuations skew wildly.

@BitGrateful @deus_trader Good advice.
For my first four years of practice, my wife and I lived in the same walk-up studio apartment as we did when I was in law school. Then we bought a house without help.

@0xMarcB @zackbshapiro @SMB_Attorney Marc, you nailed it. This is the future and the frontier lawyers are going to get there faster. Those of us at big firms need to get loud within our firms and practice this type of up leveling with haste.

@levie Spot on.

@MichaelRosmer @JourneyMacro Hi Michael - tangentially related, how would you recommend allocating today between BTC and ETH?

@max_gagliardi You couldn’t pay me $17k to ride a cruise ship for 140 days.

@brian_armstrong And to you and the Coinbase and Base teams, who deserve credit for leading the industry.

@RyanSAdams Love to see it. You deserve credit RSA for not only investing for the long haul but also pausing, refreshing, and coming back with a vengeance.

[Cyrus evm @CyrusEVM]

@CryptoTaxGirl Wow, congrats on the growing team. That’s a big deal.

@rleshner This is the correct sign off whenever ETH nears $5,000

I continue to believe that the key to success in business is adaptability.

Adjust to the market, tailor your product to the customer, be flexible with your counterparty, conform to changing regulations, be water my friend.

[Cyrus evm @CyrusEVM]

Startups who use AI to move faster and more efficiently will win.

I would just say that you shouldn't use AI to skip legal, data privacy, security, and compliance entirely.

@CryptoGucci @SERdotxyz How does the USD value compare between value held by all bitcoin treasury companies and all ETH treasury companies, as of today?

[Cyrus evm @CyrusEVM]

The best lawyers I know spend as much time learning the client’s business as they do reading the law.

And how I justify following crypto daily.

@SMB_Attorney I use voice on my phone ideation and strategy. Do you have ChatGPT plugged directly into Outlook?

@CryptoGucci @cyounessi1 @icebergy This is the tease

[Cyrus evm @CyrusEVM]

@CryptoGucci @cyounessi1 @icebergy Ok, maybe today.
