4. Watch out for fake news. I don't surf (kite surfing is a diff sport). Dubai is not even a surfing destination. There is Surf Abu Dhabi, worlds largest man made surf place, which I haven't tried yet. No rip current there. Let's go together?

Kitesurfers don’t care about rip currents. 😂 (Yes, me, not AI, a few weeks ago. I always have a boat following me when kitesurfing.)

@Crypto_Pranjal Post recovery call

Just lost $7.3k on Polymarket. Man, this went from almost a done deal at 98c to the exact opposite. Definitely mishandled the FOMO on this one. Lesson learned. Anyway, recovery mission starts now.

Keep building! 👏

Proud to have led @VideoTutor_io’s $11M Seed and watched @kysonkai2 and the team go from idea to shipped product. Most EdTech scales content. VideoTutor scales accountability on top of that. YZi Labs backs meaningful innovation that solves structural human challenges. Congrats on the launch!

Proud to be part of this and to fully support what’s coming...

"This is kind of a Graham-Dodd moment for crypto." At #BNBMiami, Guyan Liu, Co-Founder & CEO of @Paimon_Finance, drew a parallel between tokenized assets today and the stock market back in the 1920s. He believes crypto is hitting a similar inflection point, as the industry matures and starts focusing more on the fundamentals of the technology.

Two important books in one picture: one is essential reading (the yellow one on the right); the other one is great if you need to fall asleep fast. 🤣

Coming soon to Space: @Polymarket markets Made possible by @JupiterExchange

JUST IN: 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala discloses $566 million worth of Bitcoin ETF holdings.

Welcome @UTechStables, issuer of $U, to the Aster Chain validator set. United Stables joins as a validator, processing transactions and producing blocks on Aster Chain.

At #BNBMiami, @valgui1, General Manager of @xStocksFi, shared what makes the BNB builder community stand out. Pragmatism is what sets this ecosystem apart and why hackathons here won’t just produce projects, they’ll produce solutions based on real needs that actually get used. "Ultimately, composability unlocks more use cases, and that's where I get really excited."

"Super exponential is rapid growth accelerating." — @CathieDWood at YZi Labs The Convergence Summit Cathie named AI as the biggest catalyst across every innovation platform, and orbital data center as the biggest growth surprise of 2025. Just as @elonmusk redefined autonomous driving with @Tesla, @SpaceX is now redefining where the world's compute lives. She believes data centers in space will be 20–25% cheaper than terrestrial ones by 2035 — with fewer regulatory hurdles and 24/7 unshielded solar power.

The agentic economy gave every builder the same knowledge. What separates them now is who can put the pieces together. @emilyRiofreeman on why we're backing the next generation of "polymath" builders.
