June 30th, 2024: On Chain Summer 🌊 0228: Gm (96 + 42 + 90) frens 🔵 🎓 Education 🎨 Art 💻 Technology Excited to be in this journey @ForbesWeb3 ✨

It was awesome to host @JuanRah at @egade @TecdeMonterrey for an exciting session on new innovations on Blockchain in the Disruptive Technologies course. From @arbitrumdao_gov @arbitrum to @Kleros_io, the breadth of experience was very valuable to the students. 🇲🇽

Thank you @arbalestpartner for inviting me to teach at Tecnológico de Monterrey today! I took the MBA students on an introductory journey to DeFi and DAOs.

Estudiantes de negocios + tecnología onchain = Próxima revolución financiera en nuestro país. Junto a @arbalestpartner en @egade del Tec de Monterrey, onboardeamos a líderes de las empresas más importantes de México al ecosistema onchain en minutos. ¡Gracias por su energía!

De la teoría a la ejecución en @baseapp🔹 Ya pasó más de una semana de la sesión en el @egade @TecdeMonterrey con el profesor @arbalestpartner. Analizamos el salto Coinbase → Base y por qué el futuro de Latam es onchain. Va un recap + hermosas vistas del campus 🇲🇽

It was an absolute pleasure to host @oyealmond from @base @baselatam at @egade. Thanks for the amazing swags too! Quality Education is the first step for the acceleration of the onchain Economy. 🇲🇽/acc

Taught a @Base class to an MBA group in Mexico City and a few things stood out: • The tech is finally ready for live demos: we used the @baseapp in real time. • Their wow moment: receiving dollars in seconds. • They started skeptical, and ended asking great, thoughtful questions. MBA programs are an amazing way to connect with future Base builders coming from strong professional backgrounds. Thanks @arbalestpartner for the invite 🟦🇲🇽

Awesome to meet ole connections @CepnikMaciej in CDMX with @labitconf & @TulumCryptoFest 🇲🇽

In 2026, I plan to be fully back to decentralized social. If we want a better society, we need better mass communication tools. We need mass communication tools that surface the best information and arguments and help people find points of agreement. We need mass communication tools that serve the user's long-term interest, not maximize short-term engagement. There is no simple trick that solves these problems. But there is one important place to start: more competition. Decentralization is the way to enable that: a shared data layer, with anyone being able to build their own client on top. In fact, since the start of the year I've been back to decentralized social already. Every post I've made this year, or read this year, I made or read with firefly.social, a multi-client that covers reading and posting to X, Lens, Farcaster and Bluesky (though bluesky has a 300 char limit, so they don't get to see my beautiful long rants). But crypto social projects has often gone the wrong way. Too often, we in crypto think that if you insert a speculative coin into something, that counts as "innovating", and moves the world forward. Mixing money and social is not inherently wrong: Substack shows that it's possible to create an economy that supports very high-quality content. But Substack is about _subscribing to creators_, not _creating price bubbles around them_. Over the past decade, we have seen many many attempts at incentivizing creators by creating price bubbles around them, and all fail by (i) rewarding not content quality, but pre-existing social capital, and (ii) the tokens all going to zero after one or two years anyway. Too many people make galaxy-brained arguments that creating new markets and new assets is automatically good because it "elicits information", when the rest of their product development actions clearly betray that they're not actually interested in maximizing people's ability to benefit from that information. That is not Hayekian info-utopia, that is corposlop. Hence, decentralized social should be run by people who deeply believe in the "social" part, and are motivated first and foremost by solving the problems of social. The Aave team has done a great job stewarding Lens up to this point. I'm excited about what will happen to Lens over the next year, because I think the new team coming in are people who actually are interested in the "social": even back when the decentralized social space barely existed, they were trying to figure out how to do encrypted tweets. I plan to post more there this year. I encourage everyone to spend more time in Lens, Farcaster and the broader decentralized social world this year. We need to move beyond everyone constantly tweeting inside a single global info warzone, and into a reopened frontier, where new and better forms of interaction become possible.

El evento BITCOIN más grande en LATAM, @labitconf viene a MÉXICO 🇲🇽! He invitado a las community partners y a LABITCONF ₿2B para su edición en la CDMX a hablar del evento. Pd. Estaré dando boletos durante el spaces, descuentos y más 😏 Recordatorios en 🧵👇🏻 , nos vemos ahí!

.@garrytan I would urge you to reconsider this decision and open YC Austin. First, the data is looking in the rear view mirror. “Past performance does not guarantee future results,” as the saying goes. The Austin startup ecosystem is off to the races thanks to first movers like @elonmusk and @JTLonsdale. Second, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If YC and others support Austin, it will be successful. Third, and this is a biggie, if you don’t open YC Austin, you’re basically acknowledging that Silicon Valley has insuperable network effects, which was effectively Ro Khanna’s point. You may win this or that political battle, but eventually the political system will extract as much as rent as it can. If you don’t start diversifying now, you won’t have any leverage. Fourth, if Tech doesn’t start sharing the wealth with Red States, it should expect narrow and shrinking political support. With the Left going socialist, the Right should be an ally; it still believes in innovation and property rights. But many on the Right wonder why they should support radical change that mainly enriches Team Blue. I fully agree with you that the tech backlash is bad for America, but to solve this, Tech has to include all of America. This goes for the rest of the VC ecosystem. I would urge you to open Austin offices in 2026.
