@shawngorham We close a majority of our deals having fun in nature.

@DavidDack Its true. I'm more likely to bonk on a 2 hour ride then a 10 hour. Cruise out the door for a couple hour session with a water bottle and maybe a cookie. Longer distances and I'm more likely to remember i better be fueling like its an eating contest.

@DearS_o_n Bicycle rides.

@elonmusk Yeah this is just a stupid fucking comment.

@clawrence @TomMoyerUT Leaving your house with a full tank every morning covers a majority of vehicle use cases. Just because gas stations have made it easy from my wife to roll out the garage with 2 miles to empty doesn't make it optimal.

@DavidDack No, and you're not a cyclist if you only Zwift.

[Tim Pulliam @timpulliamtc]

@FatherMcKennaa You're going to be ok.

@hjluks @CharlieRegnum @Catalyst2Thrive One of my favorite kikr bike games is how many watts per kilo can I sustain in zone 1. Then Zone 2. Before you know it your zone 2 eats your zone 3.

@DeItaone If only it was as easy as flipping on some back up generators. Solar and storage with grid forming inverters, combined with generators, cogen, and other types of inputs could work. But that would take embracing micro grids, renewable energy, and technology other then "clean coal"

@Alan_Couzens As a moderately fit 51yo cyclist, at 10 hours a week I barely maintain fitness. But it doesn't take 20 to feel a big improvement. The difference between 5-10 is small once your somewhat fit, but significant from 10 to 15.

@DrAkhilX Is it possible it just looks bigger when you're less fat?

[Tim Pulliam @timpulliamtc]

@Brady_H 45 rhr, 51 yo, bike.

Government regulations made one form of transportation practical, and then people said "this one form of transportation is my favorite because it's most practical."

The illusion of choice is so frustrating.

There’s one thing everyone’s missing about the dGEN1

And it changes everything.

Everyone’s debating the dGEN1’s UI, colors, specs, and features.

Cool. Debate it all you want.

But that’s not the story. There's something so much bigger happening here...

The story is that, for the first time, a phone lets you communicate and hold value no one can seize.

We are in the era of Chat Control, surveillance laws, and silent censorship, where messages can be scanned, accounts frozen, and speech filtered.

The real innovation isn’t another shiny app.
It’s a device that unlocks a foundation for freedom.

In an era where:

Discord hackers are stealing our license photos and personal info because we had to KYC...

Elon can read every X DM I’ve ever sent...

Pavel promises to protect my unencrypted messages & metadata sitting on his private servers, trust him...

Signal has to leave entire countries because if the iPhone is compromised, so is their app...

And even Apple is removing Advanced Data Protections for people in the UK

…maybe we should be debating what a new foundation unlocks for freedom, not whether people like the color purple.

Two things are required for freedom to exist.

Communication that can’t be shut down.
Money that can’t be seized.

Let's talk about the dGEN1...

The dGEN1 runs on @XMTP_, a messaging network that’s quantum-resistant, open source, and as secure as Signal. As Mainnet rolls out, no single country runs over 50% of the nodes.

This means that if any country changes its laws on privacy or adopts something like Chat Control, XMTP cannot be shut down.

That means no person, no company, no billionaire, and now no country can take away your freedom to communicate.

The dGEN1 does things that most people won’t even realize are unlocking this new foundation…

You don’t sign up and give away all your personal data.
No email.
No phone number.
No KYC.

Just one key.
And with that key, you own your messages, your money, your freedom.

The fight for privacy no longer lives in apps.
It lives at the hardware level.
The decentralized network level.
At the key level.

Because when everything else is compromised, the last frontier of freedom is the device in your hand. The key you use to access that device. And a network that can't be censored or shut down by a person, company, or even country.

So yeah, you can critique the UX. We can debate whether we love it or hate it.

But if you’ve ever lived in a place where communication can get you killed, it honestly doesn’t matter what it looks like - it matters that it fucking works.

True innovation changes what’s possible for people who have no other choice.

dGEN1 isn’t just a crypto phone.
It’s a new era that’s worth everyone fighting for.

We don’t need another app.
We need an entirely new system that no one can own.
We need to rethink the entire stack: The key, the network, the hardware.

That's what dGEN1 really did here.

Privacy isn’t just a network.
It isn’t just a key.
It’s all three —
The key, the device, and the network are all working together.

A new foundation for freedom.

---

P.S.
dGEN1 team, thanks for leading the way. It’s way more important than you think for all of us to build a new foundation, together.

If the future of Ethereum is really about privacy,
Then we need 100x more innovation at the hardware and device layer, too.

Let's keep building.

@IfiokEdet_ @freedomfactory Its sick.

@0xQuasark Hey man, you're starting to trip me out.
