Bitcoin Mining is the most transparent competition on Earth - 24/7, real rewards, provably fair, impossible to rig - yet no one has ever built a betting market around it… until now. 👇(1/8)
The last hour is dominant by the underdog pool like @f2pool , @luxor , @binance pool. Isn't it time the big dogs USA Foundry or @AntPoolofficial to snap a block ?
Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University gives one of the best talks on Bitcoin:
"If self sovereign adoption took us from zero dollars a coin to sixty nine thousand dollars a coin, all of those flows from BlackRock and the Trumps and Saylor and everything has has only taken us a few ten thousand dollars higher than at this moment."
"Instead of looking to the government or Saylor or BlackRock or someone else as our saviors, if you want the price of Bitcoin to go up, you just need to use it as money yourself. You need to because if Bitcoiners aren't going to use Bitcoin as money, I'm not sure who is."
"Ask to pay in Bitcoin, ask to be paid to be paid in Bitcoin, because this is how real Bitcoin adoption works. You should be HODLing your sats, trying to get rid of US dollars, whatever your fiat currency is, because this is the money of pedophile rings and forever wars. Don't hold US dollars. And that's the that's the fastest way we get to higher Bitcoin prices is we need to destroy US dollar network effects. And we need to increase Bitcoin network effects. And the way you do that is every Bitcoiner runs a node, gets paid in Bitcoin and tries to buy as much as possible using using Bitcoin."
Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone.
No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum.
Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too.
Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund.
It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital.
And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee.

Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital.
Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring.
But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line.
This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in.
Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition.
But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital.
USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages.
It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere.
There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction.
USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid.
