Every bit of falseness you let into your life takes you away from reality.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Yellen & Powell said inflation was transitory so they could keep spending & pumping. When it blew up in their faces, the Fed jacked up rates so hard it collapsed a huge bank. Now they want to say it’s startups’ fault—you shouldn’t have kept your deposits there. Give me a break.

With ambition, you tend to get one step below what you aim for. So unless you try to be the best, you won't even be good.

Damn. Gutted. @virgilabloh is gone. He just texted me a few days ago... still —just a week ago— pushing me to focus on passion. The world lost an amazing talent today. I had no idea what he was fighting. Please don't squander your time. I'm trying to do better myself.

1/ On America and crypto

There is no more natural home for crypto than the United States of America.

There is no more natural strategic weapon for the United States of America than crypto.

The USA has never gone wrong betting on freedom and things are no different this time.

It is irresponsible to not learn about blockchain.

• If you're wrong, admit it.
• If you're confused, ask questions.
• If you're stuck, seek for help.
• If you make mistake, learn from it.
• If you learn something, teach others.

When everyone agrees with you when you make a decision, you get paid linearly. When everyone agrees with you after the fact, you get paid exponentially.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

The White House-supported Warner amendment still doesn’t protect software developers. It makes it possible for regulators to choose winners & losers instead of letting the marketplace make that decision. The Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment is tech-neutral and promotes innovation.

[jack @jack]

This bill has so many issues. And the @MarkWarner amendment makes it worse, especially for open source developers.

And no rationale has been provided…only rumors.

[Katie Haun @katie_haun]

1/ If the last-minute amendment introduced to the infrastructure bill introduced by @MarkWarner passes, it will impose an unworkable reporting requirement on the shoulders of software developers.
