Enjoy the last 5 minutes of straight fire predictions all coming true because we rufuse to lose hope as Falcons fans.

This game was emotional. Our first big win in the new era. It feels like a curse has been lifted. Massive win for the Atlanta Falcons.

We have a QB😭😭😭

@kylekuzma Are you in on XRP?

Brian, honest question. What version of civilization do you play?

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

I’m so incredibly excited for Johan Dotson to be an Atlanta Falcon.

Same draft class as Drake London. First round pick. He can FLY.

[Zebra Man @CallmeJarred]

@CrispyCarlton Tevin Coleman is resigning with the Falcons next. Heard Alex Mack is coming out of retirement.

[Zebra Man @CallmeJarred]

Matt Ryan is signing Tevin Coleman and Devonte Freeman next.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

Tight end Austin Hooper is back to the #Falcons for $3.25M on 1-yr deal, per The Insiders.

Introducing Perplexity Computer.

It can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end.

Lovable: $100M ARR in 8 months. Replit: $10M to $100M in 9 months. No-code AI builders are the fastest-growing software category in history.

Google just shipped a free-in-beta version to 160+ countries with 1.8 billion accounts as the distribution channel.

The math is straightforward. Lovable charges $25/month per user. Google charges $0 today and can subsidize longer than any startup can burn. Lovable needs Supabase for backend. Google auto-provisions everything through Gemini, Imagen, and Veo. Lovable deploys to Netlify. Google deploys to Google Cloud with one click.

The no-code startups spent 2024-2025 proving the market exists. Google spent that time watching, then shipped Opal with agentic model routing plugged into the largest consumer platform on earth.

This tells you everything about how Google sequences market entry. Let startups validate demand and educate the market, then arrive with ecosystem integration and a subsidized price point. The startups won’t die. But their TAM just got a ceiling, and that ceiling is however much of the market Google decides to leave on the table.

Traditional advertising is dead. You know this. Banner ads. Instagram sponsored posts. 30-second commercials. People skip them. Ignore them. Block them. The old playbook doesn’t work because nobody wants to be sold to anymore

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

So ask yourself: what do people actually think your product/brand does? Not what you think they think. What do they ACTUALLY think? If you can’t answer that honestly, you’ve got bigger problems than you realize.

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

The founders we work with realize this fast. Once they see the gap between their intention and market perception, everything changes. They stop chasing tactics. They fix the foundation. Then tactics actually work.

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

How do you know your perception is broken? Simple. Compare what you SAY you do vs what people THINK you do. If there’s a gap, that’s your problem. That gap is costing you customers, partnerships, and growth.

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

Most founders fix this wrong. They make more content. Better videos. More posts. But if your message is still unclear, all you’re doing is amplifying confusion at scale. You need to fix perception first. Then amplify

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

Here’s the brutal truth: your product could be perfect. But if people don’t perceive it the way you see it, you’re dead. They’re not rejecting your product. They’re rejecting their misunderstanding of your product.

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

You think your problem is engagement. Or growth. Or reach. Usually it’s none of those. Your problem is perception. People don’t understand what you actually built. So they don’t buy it. They don’t share it. They don’t care.

[Dream Culture @Dream__Culture]

Founders are so deep in their own shit that they can’t see what’s actually broken.

You built it one way. The market sees it completely different. That gap?

That’s where growth dies. Not your product. The fucking gap.

Did you delist XRP or did you delist XRP?

I'm confident we can achieve a market structure win-win that advances the President's crypto agenda while addressing the concerns of the banks. Our focus throughout will be to advocate for what's best for crypto users.

We’re all in - we were the first ones fighting for market structure before it was popular, and we’re staying at the table. GENIUS passed 6 months ago and is now being re-litigated. That deeply impacts our customers.

Coinbase attended both recent White House meetings and the crypto industry is aligned. We’re making good progress towards reaching a win-win-win between the White House, banks and crypto, and we'll keep advocating for what's best for crypto users, especially core consumer benefits like rewards.
