I'm also nearly done with my 1YR reflection 𝕏 Article, and I can't wait to share it with you all. I'm still taking fun questions for a small Q&A section, so feel free to drop anything you have in mind. Many other bangers coming soon, too (of course).
See you all next week 🫶

Decentralizing the Internet is a massive endeavor. Every technology achievement takes years to gain utility. Dial-up to broadband took a decade. Dot-com bust to Facebook took a decade. PBFT paper was in ‘99 and Raptr over two decades later.
We’re here to build the most important use cases in crypto
* The global trading engine
* Decentralized cloud services
This will take years and that suits my style. I spent 5.5 years on a supercomputing PhD. Over a decade at Facebook/Libra. Been working on Diem/Aptos for almost 7 years. And more inspired than ever.
This is a sprinting marathon, LFM!
