This is bananas.

@WYODCworld

[H.E. Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 @justinsuntron]

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve bought the banana🍌 !!! @SpaceX @Sothebys I am Justin Sun, and I’m excited to share that I have successfully acquired Maurizio Cattelan’s iconic work, Comedian for $6.2 million. This is not just an artwork; it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history. I am honored to be the proud owner of the banana 🍌 and look forward to it sparking further inspiration and impact for art enthusiasts around the world.

Additionally, in the coming days, I will personally eat the banana 🍌as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture. Stay tuned!

Alignment is key. This is true of buyers, investors, business or life partners.

I'm not talking about blind agreement but shared values and a genuine desire for mutual benefit and success.

Take the time to discover, qualify and invest in the right partnerships.

It is nearly impossible to convince a VC of a thesis they don’t already believe, so the key in fundraising is to ‘discover’ the right partners, not try to educate and convince…

A podcast listener made this thing that learns our voice then uses AI to make you rap or say whatever they want you to say.

Listen to the last 10 seconds of "me" talking.

Its incredible. and scary.

"Please pick up that bolt and attach it to a car with that wrench," and it should be able to do that," says Elon Musk of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot.

"I think we can do that." 🤔 Bold vision. Given how far AI still has to go, it remains to be seen.

My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion.

ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.

“Do I have to choose a single identity?”

Where you grow up influences how you think about race. @enasatir had to confront her Afro-Arab identity living in Bahrain, Sudan and then Canada. Now she uses art to explore complex issues of race. Read her essay: https://t.co/vAEsVQY2Fu
