@fdotinc damn super inspiring.

4 weeks ago we brought 200 founders to our campus They came from all over the world. Japan, India, Russia, Korea, New Jersey, Canada & 30+ other countries They've built: - Autonomous solar farm maintenance robots - Hearing aids that cost $20 instead of $4700 - Protein engineering that costs $10K instead of $200K - An autonomous retention engine for companies - An algorithm that finds tumors - Insurance for AI agents - Disk free infinite cloud storage that requires no upload - A headband that amplifies your REM sleep brainwaves - AI that finds & schedules the best talent for interviews - Robots that stock retail shops - Underwater drones to clean fish farms & about 100 more ambitious companies like this. Next Friday we're hosting a Festival/Demo Day to showcase their progress and celebrate startups solving real problems. We believe in founders that care, are obsessed with their solution, & never stop relentlessly building. If you feel the same way. Come through lu. ma/Festival

@zayn4pf @GweiIntern "except, you're not creative enough" Fire.

@GweiIntern It’s 2026. I for one don’t buy the idea that education cannot go along with entertainment. except you’re not creative enough.

HONEST FEEDBACK ANSEM (i genuinely hope you read this cos it feels like you need someone to tell you the truth) Market Bubble, if you want it to actually be fun and chill and great, should genuinely be less about tickers and more about technology. crypto is in desperate, dire need of something fresh. something creative. something entertaining. something informative. it’s literally begging for this with its last breath rn. yet, every other podcast is just people shilling tickers. it’s exhausting. and even more disappointing that you’re going that route too. clearly nothing outside of rape comes out of this kind of setup, even if you *may* have good intentions. when the focus is primarily on tickers, it doesn’t create true belief in anyone. as there’s no faith in the logic. Market Bubble should be about building a religion. a religion for crypto. and the only way you build a religion is by selling the technology, beautifully. i haven’t watched Market Bubble since the first few mins of episode one. i was actually excited to see what you were cooking and got disappointed. most people watching rn are probably watching for you atp ngl, maybe for entertainment, but definitely not for educational value. and i’d personally never spend another minute on it if the theme is just shilling tickers. to any sensible person out there, this “big” crypto podcast looks like a dumping ground. and naturally, they’ll see crypto as one too. i’d always trust someone who leads with technology first and gives me tickers that fit the narrative, over someone who picks tickers and tries to reverse-engineer a narrative around them. so stop talking about tickers, or at the very least, stop making it the brand of this thing. talk about technology. from first principles. like, go back to the origin of crypto. rewrite the wrong narratives about crypto today. change people’s misconceptions. let people’s opinion of crypto be “oh this shit is gonna change the world,” not “oh this shit is just another trade and i’m here to pick my part of the cake and dip.” bring in people that come here believing they’re changing the world, not just here cos it’s the best place to make a quick 2x. onboard people right. tickers are one part of crypto, not all of it. not the core. building crypto up as a religion in your audience’s eyes is what you should be doing. use the platform to do right by crypto. you’re rich. you’re sponsored by giga rich brands. execution shouldn’t be the problem so long as the intention is there. i know you might say oh people don’t care about technology and you’re right, they don’t. but that’s not a reason to stop?. the question is how you package real educational value in the most entertaining way possible. e.g you wanna talk about a cool crypto concept on a sesssion… you find a lore that’s tangent to a concept, talk about the lore, sell the culture (we have so fucking much good stuff that’ll make good stories), make it fun in a creative way (e.g do something like having a once a month session where you guys go out in the streets and do a live stream rather than be like just another TBPN copy) for the audience to consume for their dopamine, then extrapolate the actual educational value out of it and present it for them like a take home gift. like just look at premium AI / tech twitter podcasts man. i’m not even that deep into the AI scene, and every clip i see always has something cool to learn from it. there’s ALWAYS this baseline narrative of “this is changing the world.” that’s always my take home gift from watching their podcast. yet my own beloved crypto does nothing of such to me. the gap between that and crypto podcasts is appalling. yet we wonder why no one cares about us. like do we even seem like people who care about ourselves? lmfao also, maybe it’s cos we’re trader-centric. and if every big crypto podcast keeps being about just looking for the next trade, then crypto stays as shit as it is today tbf. and it’s simply psychology btw. this is something I’m genuinely very happy and excited to argue with anybody about. a trader, at the core, is just an embodiment of pure PVP. which why no users find fun here anymore. no builders find fun here anymore. cos we’ve reduced our entire industry’s identity to “trader.” psychologically, the pure trader mindset is literally the worst caliber of participant in any society. not cos trading itself is bad, but cos a trader’s entire relationship with a system is to exchange value within that system rather than create or hold in it. they pass through, extract whatever margin they can, and leave nothing behind. that’s the bottom tier of value generation in any society. when we sell crypto as just a trading ground, we’re naturally bound to only attract that archetype? and a population of pure exchangers is one that produces lots of motion but ZERO compounding. nobody plants anything cos everyone’s just there to harvest. eventually there’s nothing left to harvest because nothing was ever built. the culture simply eats itself alive. you can see that psychology in literally every facet of crypto today and it’s so so so so bad. we keep saying oh shit why are the vibes bad bla bla bla, yet we’re contributing to the further decay of that bad… btw, i’m only saying all this because you’re one of the biggest personalities in this space and whatever brand you attach yourself to gets attached to crypto itself. if people out there see Market Bubble as uncool, some of them will see crypto as uncool too. i’d like to see clips of you talking about technology. I don’t wanna see clips of how someone made 20x or how someone holds 7 figures in NFTs, like genuinely nobody gives a fuck about that and that doesn’t help crypto in anyway. we should be seeing viral clips about why people should care about crypto. clips that instill belief in people. years of incessant shilling and producing of tickers clearly hasn’t worked, and maybe it’s time for a rethink. e.g educate people on the technology, bring em into crypto for the technology, give them your personal thesis on your technological bets, and maybe you can then shill some tickers here, and let them gravitate towards the tickers that suit them naturally (could be your choice, or something else). don’t just sit at the biggest stage and be force feeding tickers and just operate the entire brand of your podcast on FOMO. Market Bubble, done right, could be the funnel that brings people who’d actually breathe crypto, into crypto. this place is cooked and jaded. we need fresh people who genuinely care. and Market Bubble should be that perfect bridge between crypto and the rest of the world. we’ve had like too many failed bridges for this to be yet another one. i personally hope you rethink the strategy here and come out the other side with a mindset that Market Bubble should be about truly growing crypto after al these years of bad growth. like bro, if done right, this could be generational. it could be the tool that changes the trajectory of crypto forever. you literally have every resource in your hands to be an actual all-timer, the kind of crypto mind virus that’s still quoted decades from now, maybe even alongside Satoshi. and yet it looks like you’re happy being just another popular guy of a certain time period despite being handed everything you need to be truly great. you could literally be the GOAT if you wanted it bad enough. man i could keep on ranting forever cos it just pains me how often the biggest personalities, with the biggest resources, fail to see that their responsibility to crypto is to be great themselve. because their greatness lifts crypto and their smallness shrinks it. and just too many of them are choosing to be small.

@blakeir brudda

best video editors/producers? might have a fun project or two for the right person. DMs open.

philosophy isn’t progressing because most people who call themselves philosophers are actually historians who study philosophy. we need people who are willing to say something new, not study what's already been said. don't get me wrong, it's hard. really hard. anything genuinely new will most likely be ignored or seen as extremely controversial. but don't tell me there's nothing new to be said. look around. the world is riddled with philosophical problems desperate to be solved.

@Figure_robot helix02 is being too chalant. -aura

@beffjezos @avipat_ my goat. yaaaaas

Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome. Real builders are heads down for a long time and only raise what they need. Asymptotically, this creates far more robust companies. Founders are falling into the short term dopamine trap.

@blknoiz06 legendary meet up bru

my dawg 🙏🏾

think constraint can be design very beautifully for art to emerge or inspired more creation that way. i think creativity requires constraint and not abundance.

@thedulab @domdosu honestly what a beautiful job. just to be human.

Some exciting updates to share: 1. I've recently expanded to doing commercial relocations as well Any founders moving their company over to NYC and are looking for the perfect office space, reach out! Includes securing housing for your entire team, furnishing, moving logistics, etc. Whatever you need, however fast or specific you need it, I got you 2. I've also gotten a lot of DM's from people interested in the original residential service but found it difficult to afford without their employer sponsoring their relocation. So I'm coming out with a solution Anyone moving to NYC soon and need to find housing, join the Du York community (linked in the next tweet). This will be a lite version of the original service where I won't be sourcing and securing the housing for you, but rather sharing all the ball knowledge required to help you navigate the process yourself. Will also be providing alpha on lifestyle design for after you've settled in, so feel free to join if you've recently touched down and feel like you haven't quite found your footing yet as well Anyways stoked to continue making new friends and doing cool things together in the greatest city in the world.

@avipat_ @useKled avi patel

Kled has has 4 record user signup days in a row. We've offically ranked top 100 in the app store in over 82 countries. The United States constitutes our second most downloaded region where we almost crossed the top 100 on the app store finance charts (rank 162). Our overall fraud rate has fallen to a below 13% average, across 1 billion uploads. We have purged and deleted all 68 million uploads from Nigerian users (this data was never sent to any AI labs or entities and Nigerian users keep their payouts). Our support ticket volume has dropped 34% thanks to in-app improvements, even as our user base has scaled significantly. Our app reviews have remained and climbed to a 4.9 star ranking in new developing regions like Indonesia. With an overall 4.6 star ranking across thousands of reviews. Over 60% of new signups are coming from direct referrals, users bringing in users. Our average user completes their first upload within 2 minutes of creating an account.

@VoidAsuka thx bru

i thought they were film company 😅

Another YC startup spent 10K on a launch video that doesn't even show the product. The entire thing could've been bootstrapped on that money.

in a post ai world. artist = being more human. or just human in general. art are artifacts and proof of humanity. to express that we exist. being an artist is undefined in that way due to the nature of time and space is a constant changing entity therefore an artist have to match that constant change. Just like Human. we are so so adaptable and expansive. we can mold and be anything we ever think of. i think therefore i am. but this power comes with a lot of responsibility. to create more beautiful things. in a post-ai world. more human and beautiful things will emerge.
