Arthur Hayes reveals how one dinner with @naval at Token 2049 had him buying millions of zcash:native:
"He started talking to me about how the ring signatures of Monero are not as strong as you think. They'd be the events successfully deanonymized by Japanese law enforcement."
"Right then, I bought a few million dollars worth of Z cash. And what I noticed was only two brokers would make me a price in Z cash, because, you know, we don't do privacy coins. If I can't get it, then I want more of it."

Clavicular calls out red pill streamers for being inauthentic
“A lot of that red pill stuff is garbage, and the alpha male thing is something I usually meme on. Those guys have to play a 24/7 persona, and when you’re doing these long IRL streams as I do, eventually the mask would slip.”
“I was never someone who was like, ‘Alright, I’m this alpha personality.’ That way I can just be real and have vulnerable moments on stream where I fuck up, and it’s okay.”

.@im_roy_lee explains why your ego should come from getting things done
“What I do have ego in is my ability to get things done. I have an intense amount of ego in my ability to not give up on things. I have an intense amount of ego in my ability to finish a project that others won’t."

Mike Dudas says Tether has blown Circle away:
“It’s pretty clear that Circle’s strategy is to be as close to a CBDC as possible.”
“Circle is a bald guy with a suit who’s in DC three times a week and basically would rather a judge tell him what to do, so he can absolve himself of any responsibility…”
“Tether has blown Circle away in terms of decision making about how to handle absolute black and white decisions over the past month.”

Pump Fun Hackathon entry @trypurch Tells Brycent how the Hackathon allowed him to be a founder:
"how are you gonna win the lottery if you don't buy the ticket? Right?"

We all overestimate how long market conditions will be easy, how long the twitter algo will keep us relevant, how long partnerships/advisorships/kol deals will last
And we underestimate how easy it is to spend money and how difficult it is to make it
