What happened to Paxful during 2021-2025, and what led to its closure? Some lessons there for others. I launched @Unigox_global, built from the ground up for the web3 economy and future 🧵

@JonYale @AlexFinn

@AlexFinn I had my corneas replaced with the agent. I don't see the park, I see a diff. Kids on monkey bars resolve as merge conflicts. I sleep inside a running CI pipeline now. A dog approached me yesterday and my retinas auto-staged it. git commit -m "became the park"

Right now my Codex agent is fully integrated into my smart glasses Getting projected directly onto my corneas I walk around my neighborhood. Nobody has any idea I’m shipping I walk through a park. Kids frolic. Parents laugh. I weep for them. They’re not locked in. The permanent underclass is coming and they choose to FROLIC instead of SHIP A child climbs the monkey bars. I silently merge today’s work with main Another child swings on the swing set. I burn my 20 millionth token of the day Not a second goes by I don’t have an agent writing code. I just pray Eight Sleep comes out with a ChatGPT integration soon so I can code while I sleep. That’s the last frontier. If you’re reading this tweet and do not have an agent terminal open either on your computer or on your face just know tonight I’m praying for you.

@signulll Yea when u talk crypto on crypto conferences, like deep defi stuff

one of the most refreshing things on the planet is talking to someone who just *gets it*. like you don’t need a preamble, & you don’t need to articulate the shape of the thought before you can share it cuz they just meet you where you already are. as if they skimmed your mind & married to the culture before you say a single word. these people are rare, & conversations with them are incredible because you skip the surface layer entirely & land in the depth almost immediately. they’re the best ppl to riff with, ideate with, & think forward with.. the bandwidth is wide & already open. this is true for any type of relationship.

@Sevenontheriver @alvinfoo In doing that anyway

@skyzer4ever @alvinfoo If wasting time that could be spent with people you care about to have a few extra years of abundance matters go for it

The Nobel Prize winner just said something big. The biggest AI opportunity isn't at Google. It's with you. Demis Hassabis says a kid today could start a multi-billion dollar business by applying AI to something new. The frontier labs can't explore it all. That gap is your opportunity.

@Sevenontheriver @alvinfoo But rn it matters

@alvinfoo Why do these goofballs keep telling us "hey you could just have an idea and make a billion" and then tell us hey money won't matter there will be abundance and everyone will have UHI lol the story changes depending on the audience and goal

@simonsquibb Red koenigsegg regera

Let me fund a dream this weekend! What’s your dream?

@david__booth @levie It support

ok help me out here team. i want to talk to people who are this role at their company..👇👇 @levie's tweet has the cleanest definition, but i'm still struggling what to call it. what do you put in the JD? - "internal FDE, whose job it is to wire up internal systems and get agents working with them effectively." - @tkkong says "leverage engineering" - @EricFriedman says "outcome engineers" - have also seen "agent operator", "director of agents" i like "ops engineer" ? maybe it doesn't need a title, it's just "head of operations" and/or "bizops but good at AI stuff" ? DM me pls i / founders tag your "person" who is thinking about this stuff, i wanna chat to you about something 👀

@bradmillscan @garrytan Its awesome, because its not a out of the box llm that simply tells what u want to hear. Even ur own prompt “find issues” would fond issues for sake of finding them

My first use of @garrytan's Gstack /office-hours command gave me some super bespoke advice. It analyzed my brain dump about how my 50+ company bitcoin startup portfolio is in disarray and how I want to fix it. It told me I'm using the wrong tool and steered me properly 🫡

@k0k1eth @Cypher_HQ_ @KASTxyz Can you rate them by cashback? Etherfi gives 3%. I havent seen any card come close

#1 Crypto cards tier list, the only one you need @Cypher_HQ_ and @KASTxyz SS tier. With Cypher you can use 1000+ different tokens for the payment, auto-reload feature and block merchants by country up to 70%-80% in rewards and sign up bonus of their native token. Kast remains professional, Pengu card shipped that many are using and it suits as of now well for businesses. S tier @useTria with a crazy reward system, @itstuyo for simplicity and their points system and @AviciMoney that gives you USD and EUR accounts for flexibility. A tier @RedotPay has insane card volume and @KoloHub tries breaking out. Everything else as you can see below.

@bohdanbasov I dunno but every serious company should use Maxmind for ip to location resolving and it is pretty accurate up to districts and cities. So if they check ur ip they should see u’re from west ukraine. At least we used maxmind at paxful. Good tech.

Building a US LLC as a Ukrainian founder in 2026 be like: Stripe Treasury: no (even through Atlas) Mercury: no Brex: no Not because of anything Ukraine did. Because compliance teams can't tell a founder in Lviv from one in occupied territory, so the whole country gets the same answer. I get the logic. It still feels like being sanctioned by your allies.

Positive thing with AI assisted writing, I started rarely seeing writing “your” and “you’re” in a wrong way.

You could make it as a skill btw. I remember @levelsio gave high level idea like that “a for loop that scans reddit for problem and implements landing pages” You actually made a blueprint! Speaking of skill, i made “gold digger” agent that scouts for low cap crypto-ai tokens and projects github.com/skyzer/gold-di…

@mernit Like for medium-rare steak

For the past few months, I’ve been running an AI swat team. We learn about a company, audit their workflows, and build them an AI app to automate their busywork. This sounds straightforward, but building these apps is annoying because you keep rebuilding the same things over and over: a filesystem, sandboxes per user, auth, streaming, and connections to messaging apps like Telegram and Slack So today we’re releasing all of it together in a batteries-included Python framework called Capsule It includes a sandboxed computer, multi-channel messaging, background jobs, multi-user auth, and payments – everything you need to ship a production-ready AI product super fast The faster you ship, the more you’ll learn from real customers, and the sooner you get PMF

@the_smart_ape is this video AI?

@browomo Cmon bro just drink some wine and rewatch marvel movies

This Chinese developer launched Llama 70B locally on a MacBook on a plane and for a full 11 hours without internet ran client projects. He was sitting by the window on a transatlantic flight with a MacBook Pro M4 with 64 GB of memory. WiFi on board cost $25 for the flight. He declined. No cloud API, no connection to Anthropic or OpenAI servers, no internet at all. Just a local Llama 3.3 70B on bf16 and his own orchestrator script. The model runs through llama.cpp. Generation speed, 71 tokens per second. Context around 60,000 tokens. Memory usage, 48.6 GiB out of 64. Battery at takeoff, 3 hours 21 minutes. And he gave the orchestrator this system prompt before takeoff: "You are an offline orchestrator running on a single MacBook. There is no network. The only resources you have are local files in /Users/dev/work, the Llama 70B inference server at localhost:8080, and a battery budget of 3 hours 21 minutes. Process the queue at /Users/dev/work/queue.jsonl (one client task per line). For each task: draft → run local evals → save artefact to /Users/dev/work/done/. Save context checkpoints every 12 tasks so you can resume after a battery swap. Stop only on empty queue or when battery drops below 5%." So the system knows exactly what resources it is running on. It knows it has no connection to the outside world for the next 11 hours. It knows it has finite memory and a finite battery. It knows the human will not intervene until the plane lands. The system runs in 1 loop. Takes a task from the queue, runs it through inference, saves the artifact, writes a checkpoint. Task after task, just like that. And only when the battery drops below 5% does the orchestrator automatically pause, waits for the laptop to switch to the backup power bank, and continues from the last checkpoint. Here is what the system actually writes in his log during the flight: "saved context checkpoint 8 of 12 (pos_min = 488, pos_max = 50118, size = 62.813 MiB)" "restored context checkpoint (pos_min = 488, pos_max = 50118)" "prompt processing progress: n_tokens = 50 / 60 818" "task 37016 done | tps = 71 s tokens text → /Users/dev/work/done/proposal_westside.md" Outside the window, clouds, blue sky, and no WiFi. On the tray, 1 MacBook, an open terminal on 2 screens, and an inference server on localhost. From what I have observed, this is the cleanest offline AI workflow I have seen in the past year: 11 hours of flight, $0 for WiFi, and the entire client queue closed before landing.

the reason is that in slavic countries there are not much of venture funded businesses that can keep building and growing without revenue. this explains why most of AI is now happening in SF due to VC funded startups and most of them don't make money yet. but still the newest innovation will come still out of SF. while in crypto right now it's really straightforward where and how to make money - crypto swaps, fiat OTC, defi products. but the competition is tough as mostly crypto industry has matured without any new 10x breakthroughs last 4 years.

Someone made a dashboard claiming that 68% of the crypto industry is Slavic lol I have to test it out. Reply with your ethnicity, let’s verify this.

Worst $2 spent. Actually did not do as intended, u literally just scanned only welcome page even though our api documentation is hosted on gitbook “Review based on welcome page only — full API reference inaccessible COLLAPSE The documentation provided is the welcome/landing page only. It links to separate sections (Basics, API Reference, Tutorials, Off-Ramp Partner Playbook) but none of those pages were included in the review request, and fetching them was not permitted in this session. No API endpoints, request/response schemas, field names, authentication details, error structures, or webhook payloads are visible from this page. All findings below are derived solely from the landing page content.”

Stripe obsesses over API design. For Stripe Sessions we turned our well-worn API design principles into an app that reviews your API for $2. We liked it so much we’re making it public for 30 days. api-reviews-by-stripe.vercel.app

@RayFernando1337 Can u share what they have built?

We aren't ready for this next generation of agentic engineers. 100k Github stars in 24 hours (claw-code), Yeachan Heo (Bellman) has 3 to 5 pro accounts and ships software from telegram and discord. Those who accuse these guys of AI slop haven't done their homework because the real story is wild and vastly mis-understood. Yeachan has a background in quant trading and developed agentic systems to help with research (and says that LLMs aren't good for trading). He uses the term "agentic runtime" and uses CS principles to treat skills like pointers in memory. oh-my-codex was used to make the clean room clone of Claude Code...in 2 hours...on a plane...over text!! He developed this orchestration layer for Codex and it is powerful. It covers the entire SWE workflow like pipelines, persistent memory/state MCP servers, and extensible hooks. They aren't burning tokens for the sake of burning. I highly encourage you to look at the oh my codex repo and start extracting some of the ideas Bellman uses to ship software.

@altitude @robiosss So ure a wrapper on some fiat rails providers but just dont do full custody crypto, just multisig

Businesses no longer need a bank account. We've raised $18M on this bet. Go altitude.xyz

@ZeMariaMacedo U can later prove it with whoop age trend, thats caused by the irregular sleep

I finally have AI psychosis and honestly I highly recommend it

Doubt it. EU will simply start seizing assets and deporting ordinary russian citizens en masse, under some pretext of national security. Believe me some europeans think this is the way to do it already now. And imagine how many disgruntled russians who had life going on in europe have to move to russia to start over. Even if himars and drones will start flying towards moscow from estonia, putin will still do nothing simply because of being afraid so many pissed off ordinary russians have to abandon their life in EU

An attack on the Baltic states is entirely plausible, and here’s why. There are at least three reasons. First and foremost: russia risks nothing. No matter how events unfold with the occupation of the Baltic countries, things will not get worse for russia. Sanctions are already in place. Europe no longer buys its oil or gas. Weapons are being supplied to Ukraine. From a purely military perspective, russia also risks nothing. It has nuclear weapons, so if it wins and occupies the Baltics, or even parts of them, no one will be able to push it out. And if it loses, it will not lose its own territory. It will simply retreat to its borders, and NATO will not invade russian territory because of those same nuclear weapons. So why not try? Second reason: the goals of the war. The objectives of russia go far beyond the occupation of the Baltics. Above all, russia is interested in weakening or dismantling NATO and the EU. From this perspective, any territorial gain in the Baltics would count as a victory. Even if russia does not capture Vilnius or Tallinn, but only a few border villages, that would still be a win, because it would demonstrate NATO’s inability to defend its members. So again, why not try? Third reason: russia has sufficient forces and resources in the potential conflict zone to carry out military objectives and achieve an acceptable outcome. In the Leningrad Military District, there is a combat-ready army of around 70,000 troops, which can easily be reinforced with reserves from the Ukrainian front. This army is mechanized, with around 700 tanks and a large amount of armored equipment. Separately, I would highlight the drone component, which has no real equivalent in NATO and could significantly shift the balance of power in the event of an invasion. If the forces are sufficient, then why not try? Thus, as of now, we are facing the following situation: russia has enough forces and resources to achieve its goals in the Baltics, and it does not face a bad scenario under any development of events. The situation is very similar to the one before the invasion of Ukraine, especially considering the law that allows putin to “protect russians abroad,” which was quickly introduced in the State Duma. The Baltic states have helped us more than anyone else, so I sincerely hope our friends will not face war. But to preserve peace, one must prepare for a major war. It is very good that our Baltic friends have learned from Ukraine’s mistakes and have built defensive lines and fortifications to repel an invasion. I very much hope that russia will break its teeth on the Baltics, just as it did on Ukraine. Source: translated and adopted from Serhii Marchenko
