A bunch of people reached out to me about the video I did on the CLARITY Act the other day, so I decided to explain things in a bit more detail.
If this resonates, I'll likely end up doing another video that really gets into what it is that makes this so important to get passed.
We've just performed our biggest monthly $NABLA buy-back so far, with half of the $7,956 in April accumulated protocol fees. This has resulted in a buy-back of 1,352,256 $NABLA for 3,978 $USDC
Coinbase’s CEO lays off a ton of employees and says:
“Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI”
less than 24 hours later:
coinbase’s trading engine goes down and somehow even the status page breaks too
Episode 2 of the Privacy Podcast is live.

(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption.
Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). 🤷♂️

Miden x Fuze Finance
Miden has partnered with @fuzefinance to bring privacy-preserving digital asset infrastructure to emerging markets.
Fuze has the distribution, and Miden has the architecture.
Together, we're building the rails for real-world digital asset adoption.
Got a chance to spend a bit of time last night with T.J. Miller.
He’s been doing interesting things in the digital asset space for quite some time, and is honestly unique in what he’s thinking when it comes to folks from the entertainment as a whole.
Looking forward to putting together an interview on Forbes Digital Assets with him soon.
We need more people from entertainment as a whole thinking as holistically about this industry as he is.

The only question is whether it does so intentionally, or is forced into it by market pressure, regulatory pressure, and its own inability to get out of its way.
New @Azeemk weekly reflection
I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....
But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.
I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal
He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.
He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.
Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.
His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.
His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.
My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."
Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.
I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.
