Based. Kristen is a practitioner posting about her experiences with using BTC-backed loans. Good follow.

[Kristen @2dogs1chic]

Bitcoin has to become collateral before it ever becomes money.

That is how trust scales.
First people save in it.
Then they borrow against it.
Then the world builds around it.

I think about this tweet a lot.

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

@NewsAsset for what it's worth, the site looks like it's gonna be really cool once it works. i've found claude to be more helpful for coding tasks. however, i admittedly want to punch it at times.

The positives and negatives of our AI future is a topic I ponder often.

Today is a great day! My longtime band, The Luxury Liners, released a new song for the first time in 25 years. “Great Day” was recorded in early 2001 but was sadly never released.

[David Dewese @daviddewese]

Anyway, I’m glad it’s finally out in the world, and my girls have already declared it their new favorite Dada song. “Great Day” by The Luxury Liners is available on all streaming platform today. 🪁

[David Dewese @daviddewese]

It felt like a new beginning for our band, but it was short-lived as Chad would leave for law school shortly after. I can’t seem to find all my photos from that era, but we were styling as usual.

[David Dewese @daviddewese]

We’d just found our forever bass player, “Larry,” and we retreated to his brother’s basement studio to record a few songs. This song was a live staple during that era in Nashville. I recall being proud to play it during a tourr stop in my hometown at the Mesquite Opry.

@mikepechousek @PlayTimelines I love the idea of gamifying the daily news, but my general tech interests were not techie enough to keep the game fun. Gave me opportunity to learn, however, it wasn’t info I wanted to know. I absorb high level news facts but the questions were often tiny details.

[David Dewese @daviddewese]

@ryanburge Could we also say the more likely they are to vote Republican, or was the survey explicitly about Trump?

[David Dewese @daviddewese]

@bensig Ha ha. Thought that’s what the comment section was for.
