Me: Actually, we're not raising right now, but sure, if you just want to chat to get to know each other before a future round, I'm happy to chat.
VC: Totally, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Anyways, how much money do you make, how do you make it, who are your customers, and how would my portcos compete with you if they wanted to pivot?

@levelsio A bit out of touch. People need hand-holding. The model will change slightly for the new generation of buyers, but there aren't many of them.

I'm so done with real estate agents
What an absolutely useless profession in 2026
Nowadays when I go visit houses to buy you get the construction company guy tell you everything anyway, and they actually know their stuff
And then you have some literally low IQ shady car salesman guy hovering around you in the back with NO added information and NO added service
"Yes this house is great because it's north-facing"
And then for doing absolutely nothing zilch nada, they deserve 5% of the house price in commission???
And you can't visit the house direct because real estate agents cover each other asses so the selling agent will tell you to find a buyer agent to be able to visit it
A complete racket 100%

A powerful apology from Ye. An important read.

A single joke tweet changed the course of my career.
5 years ago today, I posted about a “fake app” that would let anyone deploy a token with one click. Back then it sounded absurd, today it’s just another button click (or app sign-up).
It was deep COVID. ETH was $400. The world felt stuck.
That tweet sparked a Telegram group, an airdrop of the (original) $MEME token, and 11 days later, dontbuymeme: the first NFT/DeFi platform where staking earned you NFTs.
$MEME cracked the @coingecko top 100. For some, selling at the top meant a 7-figure airdrop. (Of course, I round-tripped it.)
We kept going, partnering with artists, building tools, watching digital culture evolve in real time. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the tech again.
I left @Consensys to dive head-first into NFTs. And now, at @artblocks_io, I’m still chasing that magic.
More experiments. More art. No permission necessary.
