Pretty sure Taylor Swift concert tickets are a security under the Howey Test as applied by Gensler’s SEC. All sold out in presale and you can sell a $200 for $4000 on the stubhub exchange. Sold to support building the platform for the concert.

As someone in crypto what is the worse part about crypto?

@zackbshapiro Delaware’s favorite startup rite of passage: realizing there are two franchise tax calculation methods, and if you don’t elect the assumed par value method, the default authorized shares method can turn your “standard startup” 10M-share cap table into an unnecessary 6-figure bill

Pro tip: make sure that your C-corp has an appropriate number of shares so you don’t end up with a random $200k bill from Delaware.

@GivnerAriel People love to pretend this is a fair poker game while the market makers own the deck, deal the cards, see the table, and get paid whether you win or lose.

After reading it again this morning, I’m still so pissed. ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING. Retail gets brutally FLEECED while these market maker parasites sit back with leverage, zero risk, and massive bags. YOU are the exit liquidity.

@TheMiamiApe I live in Biscayne Park, which feels like old Miami hiding in plain sight. Tree canopies, peacocks, 1940’s charm, neighbors who actually know each other, and somehow still 15 minutes from total chaos. A tiny village with main character energy.

People who aren’t from Miami always have the loudest opinions about Miami after visiting once a year or living here for 12 months. While surrounding themselves with other people who also aren’t from Miami. Partying all day and staying in the same 3 neighborhoods. Always funny to watch.

@Amystreet Then clearly Miami now requires a full royal court. I volunteer as Consigliere of Miami, handling diplomacy, legal affairs, and crisis management for rescued wildlife and nightclub disputes alike.

I’m not even sorry that my entire personality until further notice is: queen of Miami and the woman who rescued a baby bird

@kkirkbos @TuongvyLe12 @BirdnalsLAW What is more disturbing is that people pointing this out as not a good look for crypto are getting trolled. Does anyone think this helps us get the Clarity Act passed?

@AgentM_Tech @TuongvyLe12 @BirdnalsLAW the culture is not unique to crypto, unequivocally. BUT someone pls point me to an official tradfi conference event hosted where there are strippers in the past few years. That is the distinction. Not a dinner or a side event etc. It's a problem.

Consensus - great attendance, high-spirited vibes, an insane amount of elaborate side events, tradfi everywhere. On the closing party at a strip club, thanks, you've just made policy work - arguing that this industry isn't a bunch of crypto bros - much, much harder.

@kkirkbos @TuongvyLe12 @BirdnalsLAW Good point. I think the people running conferences in finance /tech likely have more experience and have learned the lesson and no official parties anymore.

@TuongvyLe12 @BirdnalsLAW @kkirkbos What I am amazed at is that the marketing people behind the event who likely claim they are “OG” don’t know their crypto history. Google 2018 North American Bitcoin Conference and E11even to see the media blizzard about strippers and crypto bros. Time to take the lesson.

@TuongvyLe12 @BirdnalsLAW @kkirkbos This is not something that “comes from crypto.” These same types of parties and after-hours events have existed at finance and tech conferences I’ve attended since 1992. Pretending it is somehow unique to crypto says more about the narrative people want than the reality.

@Amanda_S_Wick History repeating itself. Sad. finance.yahoo.com/news/naked-gir…

Incredibly well said. Just wish men were saying it, and not just the women. Men in attendance were just as uncomfortable. Some married guys I know didn’t even go. “Official professional event” at a strip club is an oxymoron.

@JacobRobinsonJD I hate that I can’t use em dash anymore.

my only complaints about AI, in order of importance: 1. ruining the em dash 2. slop that's it sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have access to such an amazing technology

@theweb3jess @consensus2026 @CoinDesk History just keeps repeating itself. finance.yahoo.com/news/naked-gir…

1/ This year’s official @consensus2026 closing party by @CoinDesk was a massive step backward. Hosting the flagship event at E11even — a strip club — wasn't just inappropriate; it was incredibly low-brow for an industry trying to grow up. 2/ Let’s be clear: I’m all for alcohol, music, and a good time. Hire a world-class DJ. Throw a massive rave. Go to Club Space. But choosing a strip club as the official venue for a global conference is a choice that reflects poorly on all of us. 3/ Just because this happened in 2021 doesn't mean it should happen in 2026. Back then, Coinbase, FTX and Binance execs were there, but the industry has evolved. We are supposed to be moving toward institutional maturity, not leaning into "bro-culture" clichés. 4/ I’ve always been an advocate for sex work. I have zero issue with women making $40k–$80k on their own terms. The issue is the context. 5/ When an official event for a top-tier conference — filled with institutional partners and people of all genders and religions — centres on women shaking for dollars, it diminishes women to sexual objects and enforces a stale, exclusionary culture. 6/ It’s honestly boring. I guarantee brands like @MetaMask and CoinDesk will one day look back at their logos plastered on those walls with genuine embarrassment. 7/ We had international attendees flying in from across the globe. Is this really the best US crypto has to offer? Working the pole is a skill, but watching it in a professional context just left most people looking dazed and awkward. 8/ The vibe was off. I ran into my banker and some mid-tier hedge fund guys there. We can talk millions on Wall Street or over steak, but meeting at a strip club is unnecessary. We could’ve hit a polo club, a baseball box, or played padel. 9/ Even the economics were a "bear market" vibe. Most people were just watching with a mix of shock and intrigue. The girls weren't making much. They used to take crypto; now they don't. The floor was dry. No fiat moving. Why were we even there? 10/ Seeing a banker film the stage (until security stepped in) while seeing my bankers logos walk around in a strip club is the peak of industry cognitive dissonance. 11/ This industry is capable of so much more, yet we keep tripping over our own feet. We want to be taken seriously on the world stage, but we’re still acting like we’re in a basement. We must do better. Special shoutout to @SolanaFndn, @amystreet, and @SuperteamUSA. Your Accelerate vibe was immaculate, paired with the best Mario Kart-themed afterparty. 🏎️💨 It was the perfect illustration that "crypto culture" doesn’t have to mean "bro culture." You can have high-energy, high-intelligence fun without… whatever E11even was. Let’s talk economics: A single sponsorship for that E11even event costed roughly $90k. The entire Mario Kart event? Maybe $50k. Using a massive brand budget to alienate half your audience is a spectacular waste of capital. 📣📣📣 Conference organizers and sponsors: we have to do better. If we want to move millions on Wall Street, we need to stop acting like we belong in a basement. ✌️

@Amystreet Ugh! If your biggest score this cycle is boosting Nintendo decorations from a community event, the bear market may not be your biggest problem.

Okay this may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever complained about on the internet, but I spent 3.5 months curating the Mario event and buying a bunch of genuinely cool props to make it feel special. The plan was to give a lot of it to my sister’s step-kids and display some in the Superteam HQ afterward. Instead, apparently Wednesday night turned into Super Grab Bros because at least 7 props and replicas got stolen. And look, I get it. It’s a bear market. Times are tough. But brother… you can buy half this stuff on Etsy. I would’ve literally sent you the link. What kills me is some people actually asked if they could take things and I happily gave stuff away. Turns out the real fantasy element of the Mario event was expecting grown adults not to steal turtle shells, mystery boxes, and mushroom trophies.

I was really impressed by your head of BD effortlessly squeezing into VIP sections at E11EVEN not allowing the actual women in the section to have a seat.
