@ElectricCapital you should check out my personal salute to inappropriately small amounts of sleep @DibDex - we're making launchpads obsolete 18 months in - we don't stop until we win

@claireheddles @mehdirhasan We are now in our North Korea phase as a country.

Current Schedule building @DibDex Morning → Afternoon: Social Strategy & Fundraising Early Evening: Food & Bike Evening → 4AM: Development Because dev work doesn't stop in a team of 2 Try our Beta → testnet.dibdex.com

@hosseeb does anybody else reflexively recoil when people on here use the term cypherpunk

Stablecoins are actually super cypherpunk. CT has broken your brain on this. The idea that anyone at any time, with just a mobile phone, can hold and send dollars instaneously to anyone in the world, no KYC, no nothing--that was literally the cypherpunk dream.

@andyyy I spent 2 years building on NEAR … no thank you they shift positioning an narrative more frequently than a fart in the wind

Big Mike says NEAR and TAO are his two big bets for the AI x crypto trade inside his fund. We think similarly...

@yashhq_22 I've grown tired of constantly trying to catch up to promises made to an audience and this time I wanted to just drop a product ready to go and differentiate from the hollow promises of many hype machines. Just finished @DibDex beta - 18 months of work testnet.dibdex.com

As a solo founder, what do you build first? - the product - the audience

Spent the weekend with @DaveDexIsMe further refining @DibDex for our Ethereum mainnet launch ... soon testnet.dibdex.com come join the Beta We shipped a bunch of quality of live improvements but it's back to the fundraising push today.

The reality of using AI Agents to help build software is that if you're set on killer UI/UX you'll spend even more time perfecting things. It takes the tedium out of the process and let's you refine until should probably acquiesce and stop refining. @DibDex is a case study

Jerome Powell did wayyyy better than people gave him credit for if you look at the whole picture and he wasn’t given an easy task either with a lot of these global and macro events

I may have gone a little overboard on the new @DibDex home page after @DaveDexIsMe handed it off yesterday polished UI/UX is the leading indicator of a quality product - so many people in the crypto world don't pay enough attention to this

hot take - it’s possible to build in blockchain web3 crypto (whatever you want to call it) and AI without peddling in dubious conspiracy theories, licking the boots of fascists and pushing outright scams let’s just get back to building interesting things and being normal humans

Did I just stay up all night building an application to mine every business and linkedin contact I've ever had to figure out if they're a VC or Angel ... perhaps We are raising right now @DibDex and if you happen to be an investor or can make a warm intro that'd be awesome

@consensus2026 @dave_lavalle would love to show up see what's new and pump @DibDex alas not in the budget at the moment - really need to get this funding round done

@markjeffrey @BernieSanders What happened to the guy I used to know who was content with making a reasonable amount of money to live comfortably?

@BernieSanders Just think of what we could have done by retaining and attracting billionaires and their massive businesses and value creation -- That, combined with massive fraud and waste DOGE-cleanup at the state level -- But no. Now we will rot and become the Soviet Union. Thanks.

Congratulations to the California unions who have gotten over 1.5 million people to sign a petition to put a Billionaire Wealth Tax on the ballot. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the richest people in our country must start paying their fair share of taxes.

@CoinDesk +1 for fed independence

LATEST: Jerome Powell to remain at the Federal Reserve as a governor.

@CoinDesk Part of the original $BTC appeal was the decoupling from the existing finance infrastructure For selfish reasons this may benefit my bag. However if I lean into my social responsibility I'm honestly quite conflicted on the matter. Societal goods are usually the better play.

POLICY: Rep. Nick Begich says he plans to reintroduce the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill in the coming weeks under a new name, the American Reserves Modernization Act.

footprint for @dibdex using TypeScript w/ @bunjavascript + ~1M packages = 2GB+ footprint for undisclosed project using Django + Ninja + Python + 10 packages = 200MB+ sometimes using a strong opinionated framework with lots of stuff built-in beats the hell out of the "loosely coupled" Javascript and Typescript world

giving @zeddotdev a spin today because ... /crankolddev I'm tired of all the super inefficient shovelware these days - we used to give a shit about system resources feels like @code in terms of ecosystem but @sublimehq in terms of speed and footprint

I don't so much have a schedule as I have random periods where I disappear for 4-6 hours because my body has decided without my input that it's time to crash welcome to startup🤷🏻‍♂️ building @DibDex #workLifeBalance #startup
