I’m back and excited to share Maximum Frequency Ventures inaugural $50m fund with the world. MFV was built as an evolution to venture capital in crypto. CT is quick to dunk on VCs, often rightfully so, but venture capital remains still one of the strongest forces for good in this industry.

@moshaikh @alextang @jerome_ and I built MFV as a vehicle designed to support founders to build generational companies while we remain in the trenches with them.

Supporting builders was the best part of working at Aptos - seeing hungry founders grind and win. We cultivated 200+ projects with a collective $150m raised across them. Those experiences taught us what great founders need and where VC often falls short.

That realization led us here. We’re a VC that spends more time building than investing. Rolling up our sleeves is the foundation for this venture.

Our team came together naturally as we saw ~90% of the collective business outcomes at Aptos. From the biggest partnerships to ecosystem-defining deals, we’ve lived the highs and lows of scaling in real time and we’ll bring that same experience to every company we invest in.

The timing couldn’t be better. The next wave of crypto demands builders who can execute with precision, resilience, and speed. We’re ready to match that energy.

It’s time for VCs to build. MFV will be in the trenches. See you there.

@lzminsky @Moshaikh and everything is a market

[Neil @neilhar]

We’re entering the new use case era for prediction markets

and @lzminsky is entering his shipping era

[Lauris @lzminsky]

An NYC bar offered free drinks if the Knicks won and hedged it on @Kalshi so the promo paid for itself

Shipped Bizhedge: tell it your business, and it finds live @kalshi markets you can use to cover a risk or run a promotion.

Not a product, company or investment advice. Just a fun yet useful prototype.

Hedging is for everyone, not just hedge funds

yeah so crypto wasn't dead the last 5 times when literally none of it worked

but now that it works and we're about to pass the biggiest piece of legislation in its history, that's when it will die

or perhaps you're all just emotional

ATHs soon

@NeerajKA trust has eroded https://t.co/D5l7uigzqm

Trust in established norms has eroded and the social construct is changing. This ties in closely to all the advancements you're seeing in tech too.

Have been writing up my thoughts on this over the last few months, may need to turn it into an article

@KYDNimale Been fun to see the pitch evolve from the early days

Vibe right now —

Crypto twitter: “after 15 years, this might be the year it’s over for [new recent reason]”

Financial advisor I’m with at happy hour in Florida: “saw price is down, it’s time to buy right? It’s amazing to finally have access.”

Somehow the roles have flipped upside down in 2026.

[Neil @neilhar]

@lulumeservey @PalmerLuckey might be at the top of the list with potentially a third unicorn with Erebor

@Bfaviero @krakenfx @KrakenInsto congrats!!

@parisrouz @tomer_ganor best snack of all time

This is playing out in real time now with $NOCK and solana:PERLEQKUNUp1dgFZ8EvyXHdN9d6ZQqfGxALDvfs6pDs

Proof of Work has is making its comeback

[Neil @neilhar]

there are some really strong teams tackling the hardest problems in proof of work right now

I expect a strong PoW comeback in the next few months

[Neil @neilhar]

Seeing a resurgence of crypto x AI in a few new hyped projects. Crypto is very clearly reshaping the fabric of infrastructure behind finance while AI is reshaping the form factor of how we consume content

Neither technology is anywhere near its end state and neither is the overlap of the two

[Neil @neilhar]

One day you’ll get the urge to take a path that feels strange and uncomfortable but may lead to differentiated outcomes.

There will be people that have little experience on that path tell you it’s a bad idea.

Do not listen to those people.

@CL207 it also just so happens that you receive that when you are at your hungriest during the meal

[Neil @neilhar]

@lzminsky @Kalshi this is really cool

[Neil @neilhar]

AI will collapse most apps into automations and the way we consume content and work will change forever.

The question I've been asking is what will benefit as a result and the answer is likely what makes these automations more efficient (read: crypto)

[Neil @neilhar]

@Moshaikh talk about how the clarity act is not priced in yet

[Neil @neilhar]

All respect to David for putting this out there but now feels like the right time to long ETH, not sell

Capitulation in the depths of a bear market is never a prudent trade
