CMO @Cryptocom taking crypto mainstream #CROFam #FFTB ex @HBO @RGA @Twitter

They say Fortune Favors the Brave.

Six years ago, I joined @cryptocom with an ambitious (many said unattainable) goal: take a little known crypto app and build it into a global brand that is a household name. We built a world class marketing team and did exactly that.

With the brand now more recognized than ever, I’ve made the decision to step down as CMO, effective June 30, and begin my next chapter.

It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’m proud of what we’ve built. I’ll continue to support @Kris as an advisor to ensure a smooth transition.

I was wrong about the Midjourney ultra-sound scanner.

Well, maybe not wrong, but at a minimum I missed something obvious because I was thinking like a doctor who's been practicing for 25 years.

And I didn't explain my point well.

First, where I was wrong:

All historical precendent that showed that widespread screening imaging is net neutral or harmful was imaging that was expensive, inconvenient, gated by physicians and couldn't practically be repeated frequently short term.

If the Midjourney ultrasound is high resolution, harmless, inexpensive and convenient, people can get an initial scan, then if there are abnormalities concerning for cancer, they can get weekly follow up scans to see if it's growing/changing, and if it's not, they can leave it alone.

In retrospect, that is obvious but it never occurred to me.

Now, you'd assume that that approach would have to lead to it being useful and saving lives, and it probably will. But we won't really know it does until we have a couple years of data. Lots of things that seem obvious in medicine end up being wrong once we collect data.

Second, what I didn't explain well:

It's not that I think non-doctors are 'too dumb' to use the results effectively.

Its that historically it was literally impossible to use the results effectively, and that is super, super counterintuitive. It seems obvious that finding stuff early is beneficial, but experience has shown that it isn't.

Here's why:

The vast majority of abnormalities (i.e. possible cancer) isn't cancer - like over 90% of them, ends up being harmless - something thay your body could have handled on it's own.

But the only way to find out was to have invasive, risky procedures to biopsy or remove what was found.

And overall, the side effects from all the risky, invasive procedures to track down the over 90% of stuff that was harmless equal or outweigh the benefit from removing the less than 10% of stuff that wasn't harmless.

If the MIdjourney device can be repeated frequently, like weekly, at a low cost and is harmless, it could negate the need for the risky, invasive procedures.

Not saying it will, but it seems like it could and I confidently posted yesterday that it was a bad idea.

I was wrong to confidently post that.

Hong Kong has one of the greatest life expectancies on the planet.

They also have the highest per capita meat consumption in the world.

They eat roughly 300 lb of meat per person every year. It's four times what the average Brit eats. Pork and chicken make up over 80% of it.

But the part nobody talks about is Hong Kong also walks more than any other country in the world.

The average resident logs over 10,600 steps a day. The global average is around 8,000. Americans average under 5,000.

The city is dense, hilly, and built around walking and public transit. Cars are an inconvenience. Stairs are unavoidable. Movement is not a workout in Hong Kong. It is the commute.

The real story is the longest-lived population on Earth eats the most meat AND moves the most. Diet plus daily movement. Not one or the other.

This is the lesson people keep missing. You cannot eat your way to a long life sitting in a chair for 12 hours. And you cannot walk your way out of a garbage diet.

The food gives you the raw materials. The movement decides what your body does with them.

I've been looking for this forever.
Bravo @levelsio 👏👏👏

As always, new tech brings new problems, and new problems create new jobs.

[Engineering at Meta @Meta_Engineers]

Today we're announcing LevelUp: a free, four-week training program that takes people with no prior experience and prepares them to work as fiber technicians on data center construction sites across the US.

We built this program with CBRE because the fiber technician field, and the broader construction industry, is facing a nationwide shortage at a time when data center demand is higher than ever.

How it works:
🔧 Classroom instruction, hands-on labs + team activities covering transferable technical skills

🎓 Graduates have the opportunity to work at Meta's US construction sites through our contractor network

🤝 Open to everyone from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals

Since 2010, Meta's data center projects have supported 30,000+ skilled trade jobs during construction + 5,000+ permanent operational roles. LevelUp is about building the pipeline to keep that going.

Team Cronos starting the year strong!

[Kris @kris]

2025 moved fast and it’s only looking back that we realize how much momentum we built together.

From major regulatory milestones, to new products and markets, to seeing https://t.co/dwRH3YcIjT show up in everyday moments around the world — this year was about compounding progress.

None of it happens without the team behind the scenes, our partners who trusted us, and most importantly, our #CROfam that continues to push us forward.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
I’m excited for what we’ll build next in 2026.

From initial rallies to sudden reversals, this Uptober was anything but ordinary. Here’s what the https://t.co/dwRH3YcIjT Team built to help our users come up tops 👇

📈 IPO Early Bird and Trend Watch
Users can now lock in their IPO orders up to three weeks before public trading begins, and use Trend Watch to track the hottest investment themes and their top-performing stocks.

🏟️ Sports and Prediction
More than just trading on “who wins”, events now include spreads (winning margins) and totals (combined points scored) — with more markets coming soon.

⚙️ General upgrades to the app and Exchange, including a revamped Homepage, Stake Baskets, advanced OTOCO/TP SL trading tools, and more.

💼 On the business side of things, we’re making waves with the announcement of our partnership with Truth Social to make prediction markets available on a social media platform — a first in the world.

Plus, we’ve taken yet another step towards greater regulatory compliance and customer protection, via a National Trust Bank Charter application with the OCC. We also obtained In-Principle Approval from the Central Bank of the UAE, becoming the first Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in the region to do so.

Stay tuned next month for more updates 🔥
