Before I took this job, I got breakfast with @joshelman, one of the first product managers at the company and my mentor for the last 10 years.
He said getting new accounts ramped up on X has been one of the app's toughest challenges -- and the most important thing to unlock growth.
And it's obvious to people who use the app: once you get out the mainstream timeline of news & politics and into your niche, you really unlock the magic of X.
However, X is an interest-based graph, you can't simply "sync your contacts" and have a relevant feed. Power users like me have spent years finding accounts and curating our timeline.
But that problem is now getting fixed:
Over the last 6 months, we've been iterating each day to make it quicker & easier for new accounts to find their interests on X. The pieces are finally coming together -- and it's been amazing to watch.
Paying a global team shouldn’t mean exposing every salary on-chain.
With DOP, HR and finance teams can:
✔ Pay contributors privately.
✔ Keep compliance teams satisfied.
✔ Export audit proofs anytime.
Private by default. Auditable by choice.
JUST IN 🇷🇺🇺🇦: Russia said at least four people were killed after a large Ukrainian drone attack targeted several regions overnight, including the Moscow area.
Officials described it as the biggest drone assault on the Russian capital in more than a year.
From day one, we and our partners at Fight Foundation have put fighters first. $FIGHT was never a toy project, it is a business, a bridge, and a community built for champions.
Coinbase has just added $FIGHT to their roadmap.
This is a huge win for the fight culture. Let's get into the fight game 🥊
Been a while since I last checked the $TAO ecosystem.
After a deep dive, honestly it's looking great:
- Subnet count growing fast
- Real use cases increasing on subnets across AI compute, visual, robotics
- Strong community with OGs still active
- Increasing publications (research, newsletter) on @opentensor
Also, a lot of quality education posts/videos. New joiners can grasp how Bittensor works in minutes now, compared to the hours it used to take.
From market perspective, TAO is the largest-cap name and the proxy trade for AI x crypto (even into robotics).
It's 20% above the lower bound at this price. R:R looks good if BTC bounces from here.
Thanks to invitation by @Binance, I spent a week in Davos representing @MantaNetwork at the World Economic Forum. It gave me a unique opportunity to have really in-depth conversations with amazing leaders in industries outside of web3, which gave me a much better perspective on how people outside the space are viewing the broader blockchain market.
I gained two key takeaways from those conversations: 1) some are still trying to figure out what blockchain is, 2) while others have already identified the opportunity for mass adoption.
The widely accepted PMF for mass adoption is around building financial tooling. At the heart of it, finance has always been the core PMF for crypto. Whether it's DEXs, lending protocols, perps, or stablecoins, DeFi products have outshined any other segment of the crypto space.
Big banks see this. When I was on a panel with @FTI_Global, they talked about their tokenized money market fund, which has over $4b in TVL with only a fraction of the overhead costs.
Other success stories like @tether, which has just over 90 employees and generates $16b per year acting essentially as a bank, have peaked the interest of large financial institutions. Wondering what "institutional adoption" looks like? Today, it comes in the form of building a Bitcoin treasury. Tomorrow, it will come in the form of building more financial tooling to rival early incumbents like Franklin Templeton and Tether.
It's a huge, efficient market with regulatory headwinds pushing in the right direction. The future of finance will be blockchain-based. It's a direction that @MantaNetwork is studying very closely as well, with an upcoming incubated project specifically around financial tooling.
I'm looking forward to an amazing 2026.
The GOAT @ARafayGadit went to Davos for @wef and built serious leverage for $ZIG 🇨🇭
• 1 on 1 meetings with Standard Chartered senior leadership on institutional deployment of $ZIG
• Direct strategy talks with Circle (USDC) on on chain SME financing in the Middle East
Focused on real adoption and transaction volume, not narratives
• Co hosted a closed summit with 100+ family offices managing billions in generational capital
• Private sessions inside J.P. Morgan on tokenization and compliant DeFi
This is how you build partnerships and access.
By showing up where decisions are actually made.
Markets are down. This man is more active than ever.

GM Legends.
Hope you are all well.
Working everyday researching projects and helping my community is helping me get through the news I had last week. My Dad has stage 4 prostrate cancer and started his treatment, I came back to be with him for the first few weeks and it’s hard to see my Dad go through this.
Just wanted to say thank you to my community for being here every day because you really help me without knowing it.
God bless ❤️
If I was China & wanted to retaliate for US actions in recent weeks, I'd...
a) Strengthen CNY <check>
b) Put "dual use" export ban on Chinese goods to Japan <check>
China =Japan's largest import partner; driving up Japan import inflation will hurt JGB's...then USTs, gilts, etc
