@MPelletierCIO @grok what do you think? What could be driving these events?

[Robert C. @hrobertcolvin87]

@bgurley There’s a burgeoning number of crypto projects (offering up extra GPU to rent).

Currently, there don’t seem to be advantages in price, quality, and reliability. Longer term, I suspect there are advantages to this model.

File storage is analogous where there are opportunities.

[RnD Ventures (Prev RnDAO) @RnDAO__]

Is your venture looking for funding?

Our ArbitrumDAO Co.Lab entrepreneurship program is looking to fuel a promising collaboration tech venture with 50k ARB tokens and $100k’s worth of hands-on network support.

@CharlesXAdkins Who’s your customer and what problem are you solving?

As a retail investor, I already have access to actively managed funds. Why would this need to be secured on a distributed ledger?

@Cointelegraph @dapperlabs @dapperlabs - is tokenizing text-to-image Disney characters (e.g., Mickey Mouse with a backward hat playing chess with Goofy) on the platform’s roadmap?

[Robert C. @hrobertcolvin87]

@Jason You’re painting with a broad brush - crypto isn’t just tokens and investment vehicles. Companies focusing on building on crypto infra / rails are growing, and new use cases are starting to emerge and having products built around them.

@balajis +1 that the state isn’t the right cut to look at - urban and rural is more accurate. Networks not true either - most families, I’d wager, are mixed. Love your thinking, but you’re trying to force fit the data into a framing better suited to your POV

@PeterZeihan Any particular Telegram channels you’d recommend?

This must be a tactic to estimate what % of Twitter’s users are bots, right?

If you want me to follow you back, so you can comment in my threads, simply quote retweet one of my tweets and say something intelligent or funny and I will snap follow you back.

Given the MAGA brigading I'm now set to only "people you follow can reply"

@Jason If you had applied this principle in the mid to late 80s, you would have written Web1.0 off. Crypto’s UX challenges are being solved, and we’re starting to see real / non-ponzi companies and projects being built. Patience, please…

[Robert C. @hrobertcolvin87]

@ljin18 @beylin Solving for coordination challenges in contexts lacking strong institutions (think a more effective Wall Street Bets) is one of the more exciting ones. Fractional ownership of assets (and use of that as collateral) is another.

@Jason The prisoner’s dilemma

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

We need less tribalism, dogma, and conventional thinking in the United States.

We need more common sense, personal responsibility, and independent thought.

Think for yourself.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Marc Andreessen argues that Americans need to focus on building better institutions.

He's absolutely right. This is the time to build.
