I have spent so much of my adult life walking those NYC streets. There are no better. And imma go walk ‘em some more.

My mentor, friend and NYC tour guide, Watto, recently shared an appropriate quote to reinforce that advice. In the words of John Lennon:
“If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today, America is the Roman Empire, and New York is Rome itself.”
It’s been >50yrs since he said that. I guess we will find out. Proudly doing it as part of @BitMNR, I could not be more excited for this next adventure. Working with the smartest, most curious, hardest working and motivated individuals I’m lucky to call friends and colleagues.
Nearly two decades ago I visited NYC for the first time. It was a unique visit, with Silverchair’s frontman and general music legend Daniel Johns, for interviews with MTV and Rolling Stone. Sitting at a bar one night he gave me some incredible advice and forever lit the fire.
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). https://t.co/n3vZE2rcFv
Alright, this album is awesome.
Imaginative, structured like the great records, and takes you on a journey. Redeeming, uplifting and…full of hope.
Ran it back a few times on a long flight. Going to remain on high rotation.
Huge respect @raye.

Tomorrow, we launch.
At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century.
The next era of exploration begins.
This week, the SEC published an interpretation, with related guidance from the CFTC, on the application of federal securities laws to certain crypto asset activities.
Among other things, the release provides that “Protocol Staking Activities” do not involve the offer and sale of a security where conducted in the manner and under the circumstances described. This includes solo staking, self-custodial staking with a third party, custodial staking and liquid staking.
Next week, the energy will be focused on NYC as @Blockworks delivers the next instalment of the @blockworksDAS. Featuring an incredible line up of speakers, and a predominately institutional crowd.
@PierTwo_com's Co-Founder & CEO @pat_mcnab and Chief Commercial Officer @jakedenny will be on ground.
Sydney, last night was special.
With our most excellent co-hosts @BitGo, @solana and @Macropod_AU, we were able to bring together industry leaders and delegates from all over the world for The Future is at Stake | Policy Week 2026 Edition.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us, bring their energy and have a good time.
Special thanks to @stevevallas and @rvchellecox for delivering another excellent Policy Week.
Timing is everything.
Some years the industry comes together against backdrops that feel hostile or irrelevant. Despite huge advances in technology.
That is not the case in 2026, and especially not next week when more than 850 industry leaders from 12 jurisdictions descend on Sydney for Policy Week 2026.
Pier Two has been engaged in the conversation to advance Australia’s role in digital assets over many years, and we are proud to be supporting @blockchain_apac again. Huge thanks to the incredible energy and effort of @stevevallas and @rvchellecox who work tirelessly over many months to deliver such a rich array of topics, experts and experiences to push us forward as an industry.
The @PierTwo_com team will be around throughout the week. And we look forward to seeing everyone there.
The time is now.

The work continues for a Post-Quantum (PQ) Ethereum. To demonstrate robust consensus with secure, scalable signature aggregation – paving the way for a future-proof network.
With each devnet iteration, it has been faster to stabilize than the last. The gap between specification and working software continues to shrink. As the Lean Ethereum community moves toward larger validator sets and more realistic network conditions, Pier Two will continue contributing the implementation work, test vectors, and operational feedback that bring Lean Ethereum closer to a mainnet-ready protocol.

36.5 hours after leaving my hotel in NYC, I was back watching @RufusDuSol in their hometown of Sydney.
Unquestionably, this was my favorite show of the year.
A world class band, with foundational rock roots, and a sonic profile that sounds like the future. Incredible.
