[Dr Moeketsi @AusBassie]

This is a friendly reminder to really go all out for yourself. Don’t ever shrink yourself..stand out! Life is too precious for saving things for later. Now dress up and shine.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

If someone made an app that analyzed all your stock positions and then created a new basket of stocks and ETFs that represented >99% of your portfolio—but with optimized tax-loss harvesting—they would be able to capture a massive part of the retail brokerage market, because you would literally produce better returns than any other brokerage.

I'm not a math guy, but I believe this an NP-hard problem that can probably be aided with AI.

If you're building this, I will bring you your first 25 customers and invest $250K after the demo.

Choosing who to allow to invest in your startup is a critical decision.

Smart founders don't just take the first investment offered. They do their research. They pay attention to everything �� because their company is worth it.

DON’T SETTLE

It shouldn’t be that in order to be liked, accepted, or approved of, you have to allow people to dishonor, use, or abuse you.

Regardless of what people say (or post), respect yourself enough to:

(1) Study the Bible & pray for insight into proper relationship management.

(2) Set the standard for love in your relationships by loving others first.

(3) Lovingly confront those who are unintentionally insensitive towards you & avoid those who are intentionally offensive.

(4) Choose peace over conflict & strife as much as possible.

(5) Trust the LORD to manage your reputation while you focus on building good character.

YOU ARE WORTHY of real love & true friends. Don’t settle for less. Value you!

After spending time with my teenage cousins this past holiday and the conversations I’ve had with 100s of students

I think it's safe to say we grossly underestimated how uneducated teenagers are about how the real world works and operates

Stuff like:
-How banks and money work
-The cost-of-living
-Salaries
-Taxes
-What interest is and how it works
-What paying back student loans actually looks like
-The job market
-How much certain types of jobs generally pay
-Promotions and how long that takes
-Voting, elections and how government operates

I could keep going on and on

I was blind-sided by most of these because I was never taught about them and so were most of my friends and peers

And I predict that trend is only going to continue

Any parents teaching their kids about these things is doing them wonders and a great service for them

A great way to grow potatoes without the use soil.

Idea: co-working spaces that serve nutritious meals.

A cafe with breakfast and lunch. Cost of food is baked into the subscription.

Founders have their needs taken care of and can focus on their work.

Why doesn’t this exist?

AI video generation is getting shockingly good.

In a couple of years, anyone will be able to create a movie from a smartphone- we're entering a whole new era of film.

Here are some of the best examples I've seen:

I've read ZERO research papers for my dissertation ...

... Now I can listen to them instead!

Listen to papers while walking, making dinner, or exercising. It's easy to fit your learning into your daily routine!

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.

I’m pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.

Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.

Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead.

As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.

What’s next for me?

I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.

After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.

I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.

On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:

- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and
- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.

Funds are SAFU!

With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.

Onwards!
