I'm very honored (and surprised π) to be included in the coindesk #mostinfluential2023 list this year! I'm not so sure I deserve it, but I sure do appreciate it π
π The wait is over. Introducing CoinDesk's #MostInfluential2023.
This annual list (no, it's not a ranking) recognizes the people who, for the better, and sometimes the worse, defined the year in digital assets and Web3.
We recognize 50 honorees and entities, with the top 10 making an outsized impact.
We also asked select digital artists to create NFTs for 10 of the honorees. Each NFT will be up for auction for 24 hours starting at 12 p.m. ET today and a portion of the proceeds will go to @HungerProject. You can find them over on @TransientLabs π https://t.co/JPhA0Hzp4l
Here's a look at the top 10 π
β’ Casey Rodarmor (@rodarmor): For shaking up #Bitcoin with his "Ordinals Theory."
β’ Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot): For building a political fundraising machine for crypto that's ready to sway elections in 2024.
β’ Jenny Johnson: For being at the forefront of Wall Street's embrace of #bitcoinETFs and crypto technology.
β’ Lido DAO (@LidoFinance): For becoming a victim of its own success and attracting criticism as its share of staked $ETH has grown to nearly one-third.
β’ Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino): For diversifying @tetherβs investments after a banner year where the stablecoin giant is on track to profit $4.5 billion.
β’ Jose Fernandez da Ponte: For helping @PayPal unveil its own Ethereum-based U.S. dollar stablecoin.
β’ Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler): For having more influence on crypto than any regulator or law enforcement official this year.
β’ Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong): For being the biggest big gun still in the hot seat.
β’ Sam Altman (@sama): For heading ChatGPT and Worldcoin and changing the way we use the internet in 2023.
β’ Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse): For emerging triumphant this year in legal cases with big implications for crypto's future.

Owning an asset is one form of ownership.
Having a voice in what it becomes is another.
Today, we launch the World Is Flat Hackathon with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool - and potentially more to come from our partners.
Anyone can build around robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 - a product, a game, a tool, an experiment, or something none of us have thought of yet.
We want ownership to mean more than holding the token. Builders should be able to shape what gets created around it, and the community should have a voice in deciding what deserves to move forward.
Holding robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 gives you ownership of the asset.
Voting with robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 gives you a voice in shaping what it becomes.
Our judges:
- @blueshirt666 - ex-Binance, ex-McKinsey, Forbes 30 Under 30
- @cryptogle - advisor to World Liberty Financial and America dot fun, crypto since 2012
- @glabuz - Gaming & Retail BD at Avalanche, ex-Polygon, ex-Nifty Gateway
- @cryptoape - founder of MultiChain, investor and advisor across crypto and AI
The community will vote too.
And this is open far beyond our own ecosystem.
Builders from every chain are welcome.
Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Solana and beyond - we want to see your builders come build on Robinhood Chain.
Come build something unexpected.
Come compete.
Come help shape what robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 becomes next - and push the boundaries of what can be built on Robinhood Chain.
The build starts now.

for those who follow my fomo, fyi I trade elsewhere too - for example, on @Lighter_xyz (https://t.co/5blRfg7G5l)
the past 24h I'm ranked #4 PNL and traded over $50m in volume
perps are *far and away* where I do most of my trading and it's been this way since the FTX days - y'all just see my spot stuff more commonly - but if you're ever interested in seeing bigger projects/size and trading longer horizons, come check it out
The new Note Systems is live.
We started with one product: a structured note.
Today, Note Systems is a whole layer for tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain.
With the mainnet being close, that deserved a new look.

@wannabtrading@reese84_@DaniWorldwide Haha exactly! I trust and support my friends and sometimes it pays off handsomely! The amount of thinking I put into some buys is surprisingly low lol
@reese84_@DaniWorldwide idk if you can't read or what but I posted theses on both and said that my friend ocp told me it launched and I came in on her rec - because the last call she gave was injoh and it did a 25x from her call. this is not rocket science
