$100M+ bonuses for ex OpenAI employees. The legal subtext - with a general erosion of non-competes, this is why trade secrets and certain strategic IP protections matter more than ever for cutting-edge tech companies.

8 hours ago at Gracie Mansion, I saw something rare:
A head of state talking about crypto —
Not with caution.
With conviction.
NYC @NYCMayor Eric Adams didn’t hedge.
He didn’t placate.
He preached.
And it was one of the most impassioned defenses of Bitcoin and blockchain I’ve ever heard from a political figure - ever.
“We’re not still trading cows and goats.
Every evolution of currency faced resistance.
But they’re not going to get away with it this time — not in New York.”
Mic. Dropped.
Builders got love.
Bureaucrats got served.
“You shouldn’t be hiding out in some basement.
You shouldn’t have to leave the country to build.
That ends now.”
Whether you agree or not — it was a moment.
NYC just put the crypto world on notice:
We’re open for business —
And we’re not asking permission.
🎥 Full clip drops soon.
And then — this happened:
A guy in crypto came up to me and said:
“Wait… are you the one writing those posts?”
Apparently, three in a row makes you “crypto recognizable.”
I told him:
“I just woke up one morning and realized I had a lot to say.”
That one moment?
Gave me enough LinkedIn serotonin to power through the week.
If these posts are resonating — I’m glad.
I guess that's what honest storytelling does.

Much Wow! Very Funded! 🤑
DogeOS just raised $6.9M (nice) to turn Dogecoin into the internet’s favorite app layer.
Big thanks to @polychain for leading the round, and to all our amazing supporters backing the mission. We're just getting started! 🚀
I feel this is one of the best interviews I have done. It has a lot of information that was not shared before. Farokh somehow got me to talk.
Thanks for the interview!
