2025 Crypto Year in Review

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

dating founders is hard. really fking hard.

you come home to a messy apartment, to someone who’s still glued to their laptop. you’re exhausted from your own job, but you pour what’s left of you into his dream. you hold space for their stress, and stay calm when it all feels too heavy. you rejoice in their success, and you support them in their lows. and you hold optimism for them when no one else can.

this is the quiet resilience of a partner.

but for all the sleepless nights, the tears, the chaos, you get a man who is ambitious, magnetic, and genuinely believes he can change the world. and somehow, that makes you believe it too.

and if that's not the sexiest thing in the whole damn world, i don't know what is.

@unusual_whales Why do they need to vote against something that “doesn’t exist”?

Not financial advice, but if you’re still all-in on the same coins you loved in 2021, you might be in a failed relationship, not a trade.

$1855 to be referred to the ER because Quick Care wasn’t confident enough to tell me I had an infection that I claimed to have. Incredible stuff here in the United States.

@MsAnnaBaxter @theliamnissan Trump will probably keep it simple and have 3 files to categorize all Americans: ‘Gay’ ‘Liberal’ or ‘Very Good Guy’

@britcoal @TheWealthMill @TheDrugMoney I prefer not to waste my time bickering with herbs on the internet so if you’re version of winning an argument is “I’m right because losers that got fired and old people can withdraw early without penalty” then go ahead and take that marvelous W broski.

[Skinny Gandolfini @SlimGandolfini]

@britcoal @TheWealthMill @TheDrugMoney I’m not wrong though? You said I can’t do what my original point stated without being penalized. You pointing out a minuscule asterisk doesn’t mean I’m wrong. It means you brought pointless information to the table.

[Skinny Gandolfini @SlimGandolfini]

@britcoal @TheWealthMill @TheDrugMoney Ah here comes the fine print. So if I’m old or lost my job, experiencing other hardships.
