Imagine looking back one day and realizing you were brave enough to chase the life you truly wanted and it worked.

Being a good person is pretty well measured by how often you show up for the people you love when they need someone.

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

@wdcollier @swapsxyz @moonpay @ycombinator Congrats!!

[Will Collier @wdcollier]

I'm excited to announce that Decent (@swapsxyz) has been acquired by @MoonPay, and we've rebranded to MoonPay Trade 🌕

From @ycombinator's W22 batch, starting in music(!), to this - the journey has been anything but linear, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The last 4 years have been full of learning and growth.

With MoonPay, our mission hasn't changed: make it effortless to go from any asset to any asset, regardless of type - fiat, spot crypto, prediction markets, RWAs and more. All in 1-click.

Since the acquisition we've been quietly heads down integrating with top fintechs, wallets, and institutions + across the entire suite of MoonPay products - that silence ends now!

Pumped to start sharing more about what we're building with MoonPay Trade, MoonPay Institutional, and everything else in the pipeline.

Couldn't be more excited to work with @KeithGrossman, @ivanhodl, and the entire MoonPay team to build the way the world moves value. MoonPay already reaches hundreds of millions of users today, and will be a foundational part of global finance for years to come. We're just getting started. 🚀

This quote from Peter Thiel in 2014 has always resonated with me. Finite and infinite games aren’t only for business; they also apply to life generally.

“People always say they want to live every day as though it will be their last. I always have this contrasting view that I think I’d like to live every day as though it will go on forever. If we had an indefinite life span, we would continue to work and start great new projects, we would be very careful about how we treated the people around us because we would encounter them again.”

[Cole Jaczko @colejaczko]

One of the best skills you can develop is the ability to always stay in a good mood

A mentor taught me this. He said “there’s always going to be something that pisses you off or makes you upset.

The speed at which you regain control of your ship (emotions) and get back to being happy is a massive competitive advantage in life.

You can let it ruin your day, week, month or year. Or, not at all.”

What a privilege it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.

[Alfred Lin @Alfred_Lin]

Consistent compounding is one of the most powerful concepts we believe we understand but do not.

Put into practice making small improvements every single day, in whatever you choose to do.

[Rumi @rumilyrics]

The most powerful manifestation tool is gratitude. Be thankful for what you have right now, and the Universe will respond by giving you more to be grateful for.

[Pat Grady @gradypb]

This is great, but you left out one key attribute that’s made you one of the best in the business: be a good person.

When someone clearly takes pride in their work but never lets it come at the expense of others, and even goes so far as to lift up everyone around them… the universe tends to conspire in their favor.

@_sonith Would be epic. Steel and oil barons funded railroads and universities. The labs should fund Soho coffee shops

For the record, I'm in full agreement with you and we haven't incentivized social actions on Layer3 since 2023, just onchain. We do allow *optional* follows or RT links, but there are no incentives attached.

We're just as frustrated by AI slop. It’s not the business we're in and the other companies you mentioned are great alternatives for protocols prioritizing social leaderboards.

@ostium Congrats!
