@bogwitch Great article and commentary on how the crypto news space has changed, does the next bull market look differnt from a crypto news point of view or does it just revert to what it was before with new people running new outlets?

[bock @bockus]

Using the latest tools and agents to attack your own project is the the new necessary step in security.

You really want to do this before someone else does.

[EPaZ🤘 @Drawsandwords]

Your post made me curious and was something simply new.

Thanks for highlighting it

Just read @asen_sec's article on AI replacing auditors, and while I agree with a lot of what he says I wonder if AI agents are actually getting better at auditing web3 code?
Or are we just seeing smarter prompting and agent workflows around models that haven’t meaningfully improved?
The moment the human steering sucks, the audit quality collapses pretty significantly.

It is definitely worth a read - https://t.co/lITduNOi7z

Most Digital Asset startups fail for the same reason every startup fails: they ignore the fundamentals.

Tokens do not replace unit economics, and community does not replace product market fit. The technology is new; the rules of business are not.

@bockus, Co-Founder of @Fidesiumapp, opened our accelerator with a lecture on what every founder needs to internalise before building a business: friction debt in the product, runway management through a bear, and how to identify a North Star Metric instead of chasing vanity numbers.

Watch the full lecture here:

Coming soon - A personal project about US.
This is a prototype of a living artwork — a single organism that breathes, drifts, and reshapes itself in real time. Built entirely in code, no 3D modelling software. The geometry is generated procedurally — it’s not decorative, it’s a direct mathematical consequence of what lives within.
Everything is connected. Everything flows. The form is dictated by participation.

Uk finally catching up

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

NEW: The UK's FCA clears asset managers to run fund registers on blockchain and process subscriptions directly onchain under existing rules, giving tokenized funds a clear regulatory path without needing separate experimental structures.

Over the last few years some of the most damaging hacks were not caused by coding mistakes at all.

Most “networking” events don’t create networks.

I've been running events for the past 3 years.
With over 30 dinners personally hosted.
I see the same problems over and over again.

In 2022 I went to every crypto/Web3 meetup across London and they all blurred into the same format:

Stand around with a drink
A few nibbles
30–60 minutes of small talk
Leave with 2–3 LinkedIn connections…

This structure in my opinion does nothing that actually moves the needle.

I didn’t need more contacts. I needed depth.

So in May 2023, I built The Web3 Dinner Club.

A curated room where founders and C‑suite executives from major blockchain companies, investors, and senior operators sit down at proper tables, in great restaurants, and have the kind of conversations you can’t have standing up.

No stage.
No noise.
No “spray‑and‑pray” pitching.
Just high‑signal people, good food, and real dialogue.

We’ve hosted 30+ dinners so far, and this year we’ve run two dinners that already feel like the next phase: more intentional rooms, with more people who’ve been before and want to keep coming.

Since then:

The group is growing, with 250+ members across founders, investors, and execs
Added a Manchester dinner to the events calendar
We’ve published 9 editions of our newsletter sharing insights and patterns from the room
The community is becoming more selective: we hand‑curate who joins, and founders are increasingly referring peers who ‘get’ the room

Turning a two‑hour dinner into relationships that last longer than the tab

If you’re building in Web3 and you’re tired of surface‑level networking, drop a comment or DM me and I’ll share details of the next one.

And if you’re a founder raising, hiring, or looking for partners — that’s exactly the kind of conversation I built this for.

Another day, another compromised wallet.

14 hours to go till the end of April...
