An unfortunate trend! Americans appear to be yanking money out of their stock-brokerage accounts to fund their online betting https://t.co/kB5Iv9wYNJ via @markets

Wrote a Q&A that covers my journey from working for a hedge fund in the USA, moving to EU and joining Cavalry in Berlin, Frontline in London and of course starting Koyo Loans as Founder/CEO. Excited to have joined 6degrees (SeedSeries A FinTech) as Partner https://t.co/hcfcdVzggP

Great news that HSBC has bought SVB UK. The #FintechFounders community really came together this weekend sharing advice and urging swift action from Govt.

Thank you to @HSBC for supporting our tech ecosystem and to @hmtreasury for working through the weekend to find a solution.

Vs @gabrielleydon who just raised $200m for his company and argues in this podcast that NFTs in games are inevitable https://t.co/0l1htWmJxX

[Thomas Olszewski @ThomasFinTech]

Interesting to read such varying takes on the use of NFT's in games. Bloomberg "NFTs are inherently vehicles for financial speculation, and gamers worry that layering them into a fantasy world will suck out the fun." https://t.co/r8qM62q1tK

@cliobarnard Really enjoyed - congrats!!

[Fintech Founders @FintechFounder]

It was great to have Bob Wigley, Chair of @UKFtweets come and join some of our members yesterday - a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion about some of the issues facing #founders and the wider #UKFintech sector

Finally I did a really detailed analysis on enterprise SaaS stocks at my old job @Frontlinevc (https://t.co/E6o3x2Ggbw). Even though stocks are way down today – valuations are still about 20% higher than they were when I published this in Nov 2017. (8/8)

[Thomas Olszewski @ThomasFinTech]

There has been a melt down in high-growth tech stocks over the past year with the Bessemer Cloud Index (enterprise SaaS) -40% over the past 6 months and many household names down 60-80%. This is what’s happening… (1/8)

[Thomas Olszewski @ThomasFinTech]

I won’t name any SPACS gone wrong but if you google around they are not hard to find (down 80%+ in <12 months). (7/8)
