I have to ship some code I had committed to ship and I have fallen behind 😲 I will take a break from external engagements after this week.
I am sorry to have to impose this hard restriction but I cannot do both deep tech work (which I am preaching constantly about in my external engagements) and then only do the preaching and not practising it myself. That would contradict my dictum "do not preach what you do not practise" and I am at the risk of only preaching and not practising.
To navigate crypto’s future, understanding its foundations is key. I’ve been diving into the core primitives behind wallets, smart contracts, and protocols.

It’s incredible to me that the *only* person in the world who knows how the Democratic Party can still win in the fall is the guy in my groupchat who built a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange
Championing crypto casino culture as an expression of individual freedom isn't a principled view when held by people that are simultaneously positioning themselves to profit from the activity.
Today @Coinbase filed a brief asking the Court’s permission to seek an interlocutory appeal in our @SECGov case on this controlling question: whether an “investment contract” requires something contractual – we think it does, the SEC disagrees. 1/5 https://t.co/M5HgMQxCLF
It's my theory that the age of AI and the ascendence of blockchain technology are about to collide and reinforce each other 💥
Why?
One is creating the indisputable need for the other.
Right now, AI is creating a world that will make images infinitely available. We will see a glut of them all over the internet. We're already seeing that, in fact.
So, imagine a world where you cannot trust a single JPG you see. You can't know if it's real or not, if it was taken by someone who says they took it, or if it depicts something real (we're already kind of seeing this, too.)
Now, imagine if the device you use to CAPTURE all these images could also inscribe a way to verify an image's origin on an immutable global ledger. "Yes, Alexis Ohanian took this photo Tuesday night at 7:42 PM." Your device could sign an immutable global ledger—a blockchain!—digitally, confirming that this .JPG is what it claims to be.
Suddenly, you have a great case for the blockchain that isn't speculative or particularly flashy – it's utility.
I don't know what projects will win in this space specifically, but to me, it feels pretty clear that there is an emergent market need. If you're a President or a CEO – even if you're just a teenage kid—it's about to be very, very valuable to prove that an image is yours.
When someone deploys the tactic of spinning a bad thing as “actually a good thing” often enough, a person can brainwash themselves into actually believing it and forgetting they originally deployed this tactic to fool others.
Very cool how hard Solana goes vertically scaling a single blockchain
Very lame how hard they push the narrative that other forms of scaling (such as L2s) are not legit
Just chill out, enjoy the success and stop with the arrogant takes on scaling
For everyone trying to call me ‘midcurve’ here
This isn’t a prescriptive statement about bullish or bearish utility vs meme
This is simply refuting the fact that ARB has zero utility
👆my thesis - meme coin this cycle is a pure pump-dump by crypto money managers in search of alpha! Trying to get exclusivity in an inclusive medium, sigh! lol this is not investment, this is gambling!
#Bitcoin vs #Ethereum is deeper than 1st mover, 2nd mover chatter. It's 2-sides of the same coin!
- UTXO vs Account model
- Austrian vs Keynesian-done-right
- PoW vs PoS
- Slow-money vs Fast-money
- Small block philosophy
