RIP Gordon Moore. His vision inspired so many of us to pursue technology, was an inspiration to me. Thoughts with his family and everyone at Intel

Solana lost 97% of its developers - from 2,453 in January, there are now 75 left.

The total number of active mainstream blockchain developers dropped from 3,700 to 1,600.

Big yikes for $SOL

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

Very inspiring ! “ this is your 90 minutes and no one can snatch it from you. You have been away from your families because you have only one goal. Win it for them and for your country“ . Kept the message simple and very human.

Messi’s speech ahead of the Copa America final will give you goosebumps.

Win or lose, respect to @elonmusk for being the man in the arena

In many emerging countries it is difficult to authenticate on ownership of of properties even though physical documents exist. In many cases, they are forged. Great to hear how @HouseAfricaHQ was launched 👍

Discussions on interoperability, finally now attract call to action, thanks to demand by Institutional investors. It should not only cover traditional and digital assets but also blockchains. Expect more collaboration between #web2 and #Web3 players. No longer a pipe dream!

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

@DavidSacks agree. late bloomers can thrive and leapfrog. Value can be captured even if you are not first mover !

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Figma’s Valuation (purple line; left axis) versus ARR (red line; right axis).

Take-aways:
1) Late bloomers can thrive. Founders should never give up.
2) VC markets are highly responsive and slightly ahead of the curve.

We discuss fully on the next episode of @theallinpod.

@DavidSacks @theallinpod @DavidSacks thanks for sharing. Wilderness period in founder’s journey is tough but helps #founders to distinguish between response and reaction to the various “No” from #investors, #talent and #customers.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

The Wilderness Period is the toughest part of the founder journey, ending only when the startup proves it can repeatedly generate revenue. For more on how to navigate the Wilderness, read here:

#Blockchain technology provides advantages over traditional #payments service providers. On demand liquidity : payment from #Singapore to #japan by @Tranglo done in 5 mts as compared to 0.5 - 1 day. Almost real time trx information is another advantage.
#Ripple

[Tranglo @Tranglo]

Payment service providers can help decrease infrastructure costs by as much as 70%, but it’s hard to choose the right one. Here are 5 things a business should consider.

Thanks for sharing @WatcherGuru #Metaverse is misunderstood. Barriers of entry are low but not many understand. It is not just about trusting codes but trusting people behind codes !

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

@gverdian agreed. #fintech saw inflexion point after Dodd-Frank Act. It is not technology but legislation on standards that will expedite interoperability between platforms. Focusing such discussions with regulators is key!

#Web3 #Metaverse

[Quant @quantnetwork]

On the #metaverse, @Gverdian says that “the benefits of interoperability are massive - a quantum leap that mirrors the real world where people can move themselves, goods and money freely between ecosystems without changing identity."

@The8BitAlex , interesting to hear that #RLC allows transaction size to go up to 200mb !

[Redlight Network @redlight]

Alex nailed the speech to potential investors regarding our upcoming gasless blockchain! #RedlightChain #RLC

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

Interesting call out by @AlexVanhulle2 on "Pocket System" , an intelligent queueing mechanism that splits transactions amidst congestion. Will this prevent the entire $RLC becoming slow when there is a network attack ?

[Binance @binance]

Coins vs. Tokens.

Yep, they're different. Here's why 👇

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

Routine upgrades seem to have triggered hacks even outside #Blockchain world. Should blockchain builders take a cue from what US govt had advocated, in May 2021, to buyers of software to use "software bill of materials" for checking vulnerabilities on new releases and upgrades ?

[samczsun @samczsun]

12/ tl;dr a routine upgrade marked the zero hash as a valid root, which had the effect of allowing messages to be spoofed on Nomad. Attackers abused this to copy/paste transactions and quickly drained the bridge in a frenzied free-for-all

[Sirish Kumar @sirish71]

@Suhail agreed. One side of brain loves linear thinking and method, make us separate from universe around us and a single solid - startup founder 😃Other side exudes consciousness, removes baggage of our external world - music or play tennis😉. Harness both sides= sustainability.

[Suhail @Suhail]

The best way I've been able to stretch my productivity and hit goals is to pick two unrelated things (being a music artist / startups) and pit them against each other. When one gets hard or boring, I go to the other. Eventually the 2nd gets hard making the other more attractive.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

When you have things semi figured out, you want to believe you're further along than you are. And the money you raised on your initial promise is burning a hole in your pocket. It's hard for even the strongest founders to resist their own optimism.
