If you're building in the blockchain space, I just wrapped a brain-stretching call with Mike Hearn, the first Bitcoin software developer (besides Satoshi Nakamoto). Here are the key takeaways:
-Real-world utility
-Decentralize on a schedule, not all at once
–Incentives over ideology

We discussed AI inference fleets, brain computer interfaces and post quantum cryptography. No affiliation, just gratitude. How's your morning going?

This is the most inspiring thing I’ve read in AI in the last two years: https://t.co/dtfRPCBfDb

What a beautiful future ahead, just happy to take part in it.

One of the questions I ask startups is how long it's been possible to do what they're doing. Ideally it has only been possible for a few years. A couple days ago I asked this during office hours, and the founders said "since December." What's possible now changes in months.

@Enron, can't wait to see what ancillary products&services your success will enable in the future! The Egg is a major step forward. Hope it works out!

Small modular reactors will have a BIG impact in this golden era of American energy dominance.

Everyone and their uncle is on edge for Chairman Powell’s FOMC rate call tomorrow. Is Jerome gonna strut in like Harvey Specter from Suits, all smooth and ready to cut rates? Or will he go full Louis Litt, overcomplicate it, and leave us all annoyed as hell? LOL.

Ouch! Imagine calculating how much "you would have had only iffff" every once in a while.... Sheeesh!

I passed on @solana's seed round in early 2018 at $0.04.

At current prices, that's a 3,250x.

Solana was one of my first ever pitches as a junior VC, and back then I wrote memos for every deal I passed on (adorably naive and overconfident).

Re-reading this memo now is peak junior VC cringe. At the time we were obsessed with "Ethereum killers," consensus protocols, and what was going to replace the EVM / eWASM.

So here it is, fully unedited—the worst investing miss of all time.

Happy birthday, Solana! 🎂

Curiosity. Perhaps the most important ingredient in life. Have a look at this 4minute piece of art. It's a great reminder.

Never let go of your inner child.

@JeffBezos Jeff be a bro and somehow involve Elon as the gadget maker. He was born for that role. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know that you know. ❤️🤣✅

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

Love is probably the greatest power in the world and it can improve your business results! The right partner won’t just love you, they will elevate you, care for you, and push you to operate at levels you previously thought not possible. Choosing who to love is by far the most important decision you’ll ever make. Never underestimate its power and influence in all other areas of your life. Happy love day folks! Hope you are all walking around with an extra pep in your step today!
