@GormoExJourno And not in a shopping mall?! Wild.

@Jason Very late to this party, but @michaelsafai of @DexterityCap is worth talking to. Market-neutral quant fund, with 100k+ trades a day; lots of buying (and selling), but no longs. Emotionless conviction, with a lot to say on market structure.

2/ Hire fewer people and pay them more

Headcount is the worst of all vanity metrics

I would fight harder next time to keep the team as small as humanly possible

That also means hiring executives aligned with that vision, who don't derive their self worth from their team size

@staffordphilip Congrats! A loss for market structure, but a win for the market structure of tomorrow (🫰). And for the FT's growing crypto coverage.

This upcoming bio can take my money.

Late last night, after winning his battle for Twitter, @elonmusk was in Boca Chica and held his regular 10 pm meeting on Raptor engine design, where he spent more than an hour working on valve leak solutions. No one mentioned Twitter. He can multitask.

Find someone who loves you like agency finance PRs love an economic data release.

@realDannyNelson Of course, the first thing I think is “tungsten butt plug?”

I’ve always enjoyed the checked swing appeal to the base umpire. “Well, Bill’s 90 feet away, let’s see what he fucking thinks about this.”

@Nate_DiCamillo @CoinDesk @qz Congrats! Great move. Looking forward to seeing your work on this beat.

@fintechfrank Educated guess is the BTIG event.

[Carlos Lozada @CarlosNYT]

Some 5-6 years ago, after I became a book critic at the ⁦@washingtonpost⁩, my wife built a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf in the hallway across from our home office. The idea is that it would be only for books that I had reviewed. This week, with my latest book, it is full.

In a room full of hedge fund managers:

About the same amount own Bitcoin as those who own gold.

@mattleising @business Congrats on the move, @mattleising - hell of a job at Bloomberg. Looking forward to seeing where your adventures in crypto take you!
