@matthuang @BradMichelson ✨

Who are the best marketing leaders in crypto?

@echodotxyz Submitted a group application in July. When can we expect to be approved?

Experiencing highest level of signups ever pretty much, apologies for any delays in emails and stuff, pray for the ops team, god bless u

Quick call out to the team at @LanternFi, check them out! Doing some incredible work in the crypto loan/fintech space.

@echodotxyz Can’t wait to use @echodotxyz, but when might group applications be reviewed/accepted? Keep up the good work and vibes folks. 🤍

We just shipped a new sale type for Echo private sales: Commitment Requests. Instead of first-come-first-served, founders and group leads can instead run a sale based on Commitments. Users can commit the maximum they’re willing to invest, requesting an allocation. Final allocations are adjusted at closing based on total investor demand. If the sale is so significantly over-subscribed that the algorithm cannot fit everyone in, even with reduced small allocations, then it will select buyers at random instead. Goal of this sale type is to maximise investor access into high-demand sales, and remove the fastest-finger requirement. Founders and group leads will be able to choose which type of sale they’d like to run based on what suits their own goals. First trials of this sale type likely live soon. Pls msg us if there’s any bugs or issues. Thank you, have a nice weekend x

Some of the highest performing founders I know are the most understated early on. They're not loud, barely active on social media, & come off as normal, nice people. They're underestimated because they seem almost too well balanced: not charismatic or aggressive enough, or networked enough. They don't play the Silicon Valley startup game. But deep down, they're sharks: intensely competitive, driven, & stubborn. They work 996 hours or more (but they don't boast publicly about it), don't take no for an answer, & grind like crazy. They have a unique advantage the louder founders don't: they are immune to being influenced by public opinion. They don't give a sh*t what anyone thinks about them, or whether anyone does. They care only about their customers and their team. They never lose focus. When they eventually succeed, it seems to most that they were an overnight success that came out of nowhere. But there is no such thing as an overnight success. Just ones where no one bothered to look until it was obvious.

@ajwarner90 +1... Era?

As prices go up, can we ban the word "cycle"? Feels like the thing you say when you are building vaporware, not when you are trying to build the financial rails of the future.

@paulbettner @PlayWildcard @TREX_chain @XAI_GAMES @ProofOfPlay @ArbitrumPlay @arbitrum Happy to be in your corner, Paul!

Super proud of the work from Arbitrum Gaming Ventures! Excited to welcome some of our newest portfolio teams: @PlayWildcard @TREX_chain @XAI_GAMES @ProofOfPlay Great win for @ArbitrumPlay @arbitrum 🎉 #arbitrum

@Clifftonishere @gamer_djinn @CocoraEth @arbitrum Thanks so much, Cliff! Very kind of you. 💙

Many doubted the GCP. Many doubted whether a DAO could spawn a venture initiative organically. Resilience paid off, and I’d argue this is precedent setting. Huge kudos to @JohansonRick , @gamer_djinn , @CocoraEth and others on the @arbitrum Gaming Ventures 🔥

@XAI_GAMES Lets go!

Arbitrum Gaming Ventures 🤝 Xai Here. We. Go. 🧡💙❤️🤍

Heart strings pulled, thank you @KatyjustCANnot <3

@speedrun @marcussegal Stealth = wealth 😅

Fundraising nightmare fuel ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;)  w/ @marcussegal

All roads lead to @arbitrum.

Now that we’re speaking openly: the real reason memecoins haven’t taken off on Arbitrum is that the built-in frontrunning protection and first-come first-served ordering make it a lot harder to commit crime. Arbitrum protects users. I call that a win

@sgoldfed Protecting users is the most significant W imho.

@soby0x 👋

Recently moved to SF. How do I get tapped into the crypto community here? Arbitrum.

a coin isn’t the only way to capture value and create something valuable onchain. non-predatory options for ye: + release collectible tracks and earn royalties when traded + tokenize ownership of his upcoming album and reward owners with exclusive perks like access to shows and merch + allow other artists to remix his track and earn splits when they monetize it + permissionlessly sync licensing + and all the unintended value add that comes with enabling other people to build experiences on top of his tokens he can deepen his relationship with his perpetually dying fanbase and bypass the ruthless gatekeepers and exploitative middle men of the music industry. it’s not only an additional revenue stream, but one that’s completely executed by code, lowering the overhead and human capital needed to manage and enforce agreements. this is the future of music.

we need more female angels ... and more founders not just raising from the same twenty dudes (speaking as someone who has a number of these guys on my cap table)
