BUY BITCOIN and hold it for a few years. The price is currently $60,200 at this time on 29th June 2026. I don't make public calls on price. But if you follow me and hate socialism, then I want you to get rich.

@MikeSilagadze @ether_fi Platform fees range from 0.8%-1%, all to make single digit yield returns. Extremely expensive by industry standards. This is not good for users.

Friends, you should be depositing into @ether_fi Liquid vaults, otherwise what are you even doing? ether.fi/app/cash/earn

@cremieuxrecueil Wait until you see Africa's problems with online gambling.

When it comes time to talk about the harms of online gambling, we usually focus on America. But it's bad elsewhere, too. In Brazil, online gambling is more than five times as common as owning a single stock.

@DHughesy This won't happen because it would expose too much corruption.

Can anyone argue against my idea that we need all govt expenditure at all levels, council, state, federal, on a public register, accessible to all? ASIO and sensitive defence stuff not itemised but the rest, completely itemised. The technology is available. Bring it all into the light. And make it real time. As it’s spent it goes on the register. We see what every dollar is used on. Will cut corruption immediately by ninety percent. Also we will see who is getting over paid. They hide it because they know it’s wrong. Let everyone walk in the light.

@quant_xbt non-monetary payment

I wonder if they intended to pay for them

@PhilC273 I fixed it for everyone

Here's my simplistic view of our current politics.

@based16z @CL207 Why would an apartment be better than a hotel??

Think @CL207 may be onto something with living in hotels been ripping it for 2 months way better than apartment

@JulieBorowski That would imply women using logic when it comes to sexual relationships. The vast majority don't and go off their feelings.

My husband and I got married at 24. Some of his friends tried to talk him out of it. "Bro, you're so young. There are a lot of women out there. Are you sure you want to marry your high school girlfriend?" He didn't listen. Big mistake. I identified an undervalued asset before the market caught on. This is my advice to young women: Don't try to find an already successful man. He already has plenty of women competing for him. Find a young man with potential and lock in your position early. Think like an investor.

@taipan168 @RoyceWilsonAU lmao it's Australia. Everyday there's stabbings and shootings.

@RoyceWilsonAU What other major newsworthy event would involve the police and a dead body nearby?

I can excuse it if you're a foreigner, but imagine being this blissfully ignorant as an Aussie.

@balajis @anwaribrahim Forget about Malaysia and set up in Dubai.

Should the global tech community continue investing in Malaysia? Given recent events, I raise this question respectfully for the consideration of Prime Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (@anwaribrahim), for the people of Malaysia, and for our friends in the Malaysian tech community. The answer will be of interest to anyone in global tech that’s considering building, investing, or expanding in Malaysia, including executives at Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, founders of tech unicorns like Coinbase and Solana, and investors at the world’s largest venture capital funds like a16z and Polychain. As context, I am the former CTO of Coinbase and former General Partner at a16z. In October 2024, I opened a startup society called Network School in Malaysia, because I felt I’d been invited in by the government’s pro-tech policies. Specifically, the KL20 initiative set out Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a top 20 global tech hub. Their MDEC digital nomad visas and MM2H investor visas were created to facilitate an influx of global talent and capital. And the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone was announced to facilitate the flow of capital and talent between Malaysia and Singapore, where I live. When taken in combination with Malaysia’s datacenter buildout and its policy of welcoming visa-free visits for 98% of the world, it seemed like Malaysia might be a great place to build a global tech hub that was simultaneously inexpensive and easy to visit (especially for non-Westerners). And that’s what we did, by creating Network School. It’s an international tech community with its first node in Forest City, Malaysia. We picked Forest City because it had millions of square feet of empty space, because it was one hour from Singapore’s capital markets, and because it was within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Then, within 18 months, without a single penny of government money, we built Network School into a global attraction that brought thousands of engineers, investors, and builders from 70+ countries to learn technology, burn calories, earn online, and have fun, integrating with the local Malaysian economy along the way. Indeed, in terms of quantifiable contribution to the Malaysian economy, we’ve already invested 100M+ MYR in our campus to make it startup-friendly. For perspective, that’s about 4% of the budget of Johor, the Malaysian state where Forest City is located. We employ dozens of Malaysians directly and indirectly at every level from executive to staff. We’ve backed Malaysian tech startups like Collektr, hosted events for local teams like Superteam Malaysia, and are major customers of many local businesses like barbers, laundromats, and restaurants. We’ve also revitalized the multibillion-dollar Forest City project, causing millions of MYR in real estate appreciation. And, as the video below describes, we were on the cusp of a 500M+ MYR expansion to grow our community, as well as a global merit scholarship with my friend Amjad Masad of Replit. However, that emerging multi-billion dollar success story — which should rightfully have been hailed as a huge victory for the pro-tech policies of the Malaysian government — is at risk of being derailed by a fake story spread by an anonymous account named MP4P. In short: on the day before the July 11 Johor elections, MP4P posted an Instagram post falsely accusing Network School of harboring illegal aliens. The sensational accusations caused a tizzy in Malaysia, until Malaysian authorities came to our campus on July 14 to investigate. (I should note that the officers were very polite and professional.) After checking hundreds of physical passports from 40 countries, including dual passport holders, the authorities confirmed to the press on July 15 that all travel documents were in order. During the process, we cooperated fully; in the thread below you can see a photo of the men, women, and children of Network School smiling and holding up their passports in the bright daylight. Our faces are shown and our names are known; we have nothing to hide. With that said, the process is the punishment. What MP4P did is very similar to the American crime of “swatting”, because MP4P created a hoax report of a serious threat, thereby forcing the Malaysian police to take time away from protecting the Malaysian people towards investigating a nonexistent issue. Moreover, this anonymous MP4P account has also called for Malaysia to boycott Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft…a move that would cost ordinary Malaysians thousands of jobs…even while MP4P’s own Instagram collaborators promote their Apple and Google apps! I mean, we aren’t talking about a credible accuser, but just someone screaming inconsistently at the top of their lungs on social media for traffic, an all-too-common phenomenon these days. Anyway, at this point, all further investment we were planning to make in Malaysia is on hold until we get sufficient assurance that such issues won’t recur. So are the investment plans of many of our friends, including the execs and investors at global tech firms that we brought to Forest City. Because to put it very plainly: we have invested 100M+ MYR in Malaysia, while creating jobs for dozens of Malaysians, and our faces and names are known. Our Malaysian executives and employees deserve the benefit of the doubt over anonymous internet trolls. There are two paths forward. In the first case, if Malaysia still wants continued global tech investment, if it wants to be a top 20 tech hub, if it wants us to revitalize Forest City, then we request an audience with the Prime Minister’s office to discuss the terms of a memorandum of understanding between Network School and the Malaysian government, similar to the document recently signed between the Solana Foundation and the Kazakhstan government. Specifics can of course be discussed, but we would publicly commit to abiding by all Malaysian laws (we already do) and respecting Malaysia’s sovereignty (never in question). In return, they’d get to know our friendly community, and realize that we actually chose Malaysia because we thought it was a great place to build a tech hub where engineers from the global South, investors from the West, and builders from Malaysia itself could meet new people, build cool things, and perhaps create millions of dollars in economic growth in the fullness of time. That vision of peace and trade, internationalism and entrepreneurialism, is still on the table. We aren’t asking for any money — just a meeting, to help restore confidence in Malaysia as an investable jurisdiction. Alternatively, if you don’t want our investment, or those of our colleagues at billion dollar funds and trillion dollar companies, we will of course respect your wishes, and reallocate our capital to other countries instead. Either way, we will remain friends and abide by your decision. Please let us know.

Interesting responses when I asked ChatGPT 5.6 and Grok: what is the biggest scam humanity has collectively accepted as normal?

@Rich_Cooper If they can monetise it, then they are likely making more money and any "humiliation" is worth it.

Marriage is a total humiliation ritual for most men. They are pathetic accessories to women's pursuit of social media attention seeking.

@nic_carter Everyone calls it the circuit.

Once you reach a certain level of affluence, opting out of what I call “the circuit” is the most important decision you can make with your money

@DrewPavlou Defund all government funded institutions captured by the woke left.

Australian university spending $12 million to change its name from “James Cook University” This is how much we hate ourselves

@levelsio Another tip that took my sleep to next level: turn off the lights 3-4 hours before sleep to increases melatonin. You know melatonin is high if you are yawning a lot before bed time.

Most people don't realize how bad their sleep was until they start sleeping at the right temperature which is around 18°C/64°F Then when they do they've never slept so good!

@quantian1 He spend a lot of time partying in Berlin.

Fascinating how composed and articulate Karp is in this interview; he’s speaking in lucid sentences, sitting still in his chair… I wonder what changed over the past 17 years 🤔

@MyronGainesX They are engaged. He will marry. instagram.com/p/DNOPitPoAgN/

It’s simple why he hasn’t married her. 1. If it flys, floats or fucks, you rent, never buy. 2. She’s an attention whore on social media thirst trapping every chance she can.
