If you’re a Web3 business at any stage looking to GTM with fintechs, do the same!

August was busy for @farstardao ! We kicked off the month launching the first-ever @arbitrum Growth Circles with some great teams 👇

Unless I’ve mistaken this is a first-of-kind regulated insurance policy covering crime to such an extent in DeFi.

It was a huge effort to get here with over 12 months of work from Teo Kithara-Bigot, Adam Wickens, Alex Krasnow and guest appearances from Christian Ogden-Davies.

We feel this is the most robust regulated product out there in the market for DeFi lending markets and we hope this can provide foothold for more cover to grow as we expand.

I’m fed up with the direction our country is going.

So I'm running for Congress in Virginia's new 7th district to put working families first, hold the powerful accountable, and fight to build a future we can actually be proud of.

I'm running for US Congress. Seriously.

Imagine common sense crypto policy and regulation, aligned with American dynamism.

Check out our list of new Crypto Policies we will support, linked below.

@lyuben wait didn’t that get blocked on some governance level and now they’re trying to push it again?

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

@ImperiumPaper @megaeth all the best with the new role @ImperiumPaper, hope our paths cross again very soon !

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

@devanshmehta @ImperiumPaper @megaeth yeah, I was thinking the same. But 🟢flag on intellectual honesty leading to collab rather than tribalism.

[A.J. Warner @ajwarner90]

Nice work @nashpointfi. Been following along closely for almost a year now. The progress has been incredible

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

@yungdoteth @0xsmac @Y0K0S0N I mean they're sorta on equal footing now. My mom in her 60s who adopted email 3 y ago and still can't figure out CC. On her own just produced a pitch deck with AI to secure an innovation grant on mixing some compounds in asphalt to improve public roads 🤯

[Vladimir @vlelyavin]

@Polymarket bro the fact that there's a liquid prediction market on whether the US government will blacklist an AI company for refusing mass surveillance is the most cyberpunk thing that actually happened today

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

This is a huge opportunity for Europe. Welcome Anthropic with open arms. Roll out the red carpet. Visa for all employees.

Europe already controls the AI hardware bottleneck through ASML. Add the world's leading AI safety lab and you have the foundations of an AI superpower.

@friedmandave @jack @AndrewCurran_ @blocks why class act?

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

@offstage_x @StaniKulechov @aave for most of us easter europeans that got that lucky was more than 6 mo. Estonians are wealthy…

@0xAtomist @castle_labs @OAK_Res @hazeflow_xyz loved reading it so much!

[Lino Velev @lvelev]

@DeVladinci often you ask something, they generate a “look good” response that avoids deeper analysis and research. You push, they do the work and then keep it in the context window well. Like lazy initiation. Maybe your prompts are not that challenging.
…Or you found a very eager one :)
