Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.

In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out

In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature

taste like shit

@DanDeFiEd I don't see mistakes here

A bunch of startups have failed & the founders are just using money they raised from venture funds to pay themselves a salary while testing out new AI tools full-time under the guise of “pivoting” when they should simply give money back & call it a day

fyi crypto isn’t dying, it got bloated and hijacked by hype merchants

- too many useless projects
- too little real innovation

kill the pointless projects, stop amplifying useless actors.

pareto rule exists for a reason: cut the dead weight and what’s left still matters.

Regardless of how I feel about it, I've never had so many people I respect tell me I should leave crypto

thanks for playing

We are revising our developer API policies:

We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform.

We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should start improving soon (once the bots realize they’re not getting paid anymore).

If your developer account was terminated, please reach out and we will assist in transitioning your business to Threads and Bluesky.

Market maturation showed up clearly in options activity

Options activity more than doubled YoY (2.5x from Q4 24 to Q4 25)

Usage shifted from directional bets to systematic strategies: yield generation, downside protection, covered calls

KLARNA PARTNERS WITH COINBASE TO ADD STABLECOIN TO FUNDING MIX

[Dan Rysk @DanDeFiEd]

This industry has too many followers and not enough builders.

No mission. No obsession. No conviction.

Just people jumping into narratives built by others to extract as much as possible.

ANDREW TATE: HYPERLIQUIDATED

Andrew Tate deposited a total of $727K to Hyperliquid and as of today, has lost it all - without making a single withdrawal.

He also claimed a total of $75K as referral rewards from traders using his reflink. He has lost all of that trading as well.

The only thing that matters in consumer software is velocity of shipping. You will regularly be wrong about what people want: no one is a perfect psychologist. But if you are out at the frontlines with concepts everyday, your team will have their finger on the pulse of users and know where to add fuel.

yes men teams make you sink quick.

[Thep ◎ ⛏️ @Theptilla]

When you surround yourself with yes men and good vibes only people, you start believing every move you make is the best thing since sliced bread.

Criticism starts to bother you and you crush anyone who dares to speak up. You drown in your own ego.

Then when you actually need to evaluate where you went wrong, you will have the wrong voices barking at you because you already chased away the ones who cared, and you will start pleasing the wrong crowd and keep digging a deeper hole.
