@KYDNimale @bgurley @altcap U an No1

One of my favorite moments as a founder. At a show in Austin, I told @bgurley my name was “Ethiopian Jesus” and that I was a ticketing founder. He goes, “Tough business… you know venues? Can you help my friend skip the line?” I did. It was @altcap. Couldn’t let him miss such a good band.

@arc I can match your lowball joke of a Circle bug bounty program with my personal funds if a grey hat researcher chooses to exploit it for themselves.

for the sake of crypto, pls dont release this yet...

@FabianoSolana this is super cool where are you sourcing the data re audits, yields, risk etc.?

I’m tired of losing money So I locked in the past two days and built a website that tracks almost every stablecoin yield on Solana - Risk (audits, multisigs, liquidation risk) - APY (and where the yield comes from) - Airdrops 🔗 solana-yields-two.vercel.app

@gumsays this is great - projects should give grants for this type of work

Vaults are like ETFs... just more hacks

This brainrot in the LP community is part of the reason why there is sparingly little alpha in venture. If you can describe where you have 'access' it's already too late to capture outlier upside in that pool. Have a unique point of view on the world, pursue it aggressively.

I am super excited to share that @Starcloud_ has raised a $170M Series A at a $1.1bn valuation to fuel our development of data centers in space 🚀 The round comes after the successful deployment of our first satellite, Starcould-1, a few months ago, which had the first @NVIDIA H100 on board and was the first to train an LLM in space. The funds will be used to develop our third satellite, which aims to be cost-competitive with Earth-based data centers in terms of AI inference cost. The round was led by @Benchmark and @EQT Ventures, and we are excited to welcome Benchmark GP, @Chetanp Puttagunta, to our board. We are also excited to welcome other new investors, including the world's largest infrastructure fund, @Macquarie Capital, @SevenSevenSix 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣, Manhattan West, Adjacent, Carya, GSBackers, and Harpoon. We are very grateful for the continued support of existing investors, including @NFX, @NebularVC, @YCombinator, @FUSE_VC, @Soma_Capital, 3Capital Partners, Wyld VC, Tiny VC, and Taurus Ventures. Onwards!

@luigidemeo for aggregation it seems...

If curators are not there to have sophisticated risk management, what do they actually get paid for?

@richardchen39 mostly... but also sometimes no lol...

@richardchen39 yes.

Been seeing lots of RWA projects lately, especially around private credit. The biggest question I ask is are internet capital markets (aka crypto investors) getting adversely selected? Are these assets coming onchain because no one in tradfi wants to touch them?

If you truly believe you're a top 5% 1) applied AI engineer 2) backend engineer (golang) 3) engineering leader (+ golang) And want 7-figure total comp working w/ the biggest names in AI, msg me your resume or github I'll also pay $10k per successful referral
