Many of the things you learn in consumer product development are counterintuitive, especially with how you test & validate your ideas. Here's a clip I recorded with @solana a few months ago where I dive in.

If we purged all accounts with more than 2 emojis in their bio, it would be 99.99% bots

Look, I get that all electronics are going to cost 50% more now. But if companies start building factories and investing the capital now, they should be done in 3-5 years, when a new president is elected who has their own trade agreements.

Innovation is art - it can’t be scaled. Scaling a team creates a hierarchy to reduce coordination costs. Hierarchy introduces the Principal-Agent problem. Agents optimize for status and cohesion over correctness. Going from zero to one requires a founder-led flat team.

While the jury is not out yet, Solana has the fundamental building blocks for something to break out on mobile and certainly many apps are making headway. So today I’m joining @Solana as an advisor to help select companies launch & grow their apps. For a couple years I've been discussing with @rajgokal and @toly ways to get more involved. The ecosystem has now matured to a point where Solana apps can now top the charts so I'm ready to help build. More details to come.

I’ve had mixed opinions on crypto over the years, but the world has changed meaningfully over the last few months. It feels like we’re at an inflection point that has made the space much more attractive for consumer product builders: 1/ The regulatory environment is far more conducive to experimentation under the new administration 2/ The App Store is now more welcoming to crypto apps, with multiple coin launchpads being released 3/ Meme coin mania has put Phantom wallets with Solana on millions of phones—providing a source of liquidity in consumer-grade packaging Crypto has certainly been volatile recently but looking past the cyclical noise, there is innate value in creating capital markets for things that are otherwise too difficult to build marketplaces around. Products like @moolah that tokenize people’s time are just a snapshot of the utility that can emerge when markets have liquidity and adoption.

you're simply not bullish enough

The results for the "Catdets Working Group Budget" vote are in, with 55% of votes in favour! Congratulations, @JUPCatdets! LFG 🚀🚀🚀

@KaitoAI The page doesn't load when I attempt to open it? Is anyone else having the same issue?

1/ REMINDER: $KAITO token claim closes in two days, March 22. Don't miss your chance to claim - most Yappers were given an allocation (even 0 yaps!) - 2/ For suspended accounts: The team will work directly with affected users after the main claim period ends. Claims will run for 2 weeks. We’ll open a dedicated Discord channel on March 22 to guide you through verification. - 3/ Community votes on AIXBT + other AI agents' allocations will happen via Snapshot – details coming soon. - 4/ What happens with unclaimed tokens? Updates will be shared after we get to the final number of unclaimed tokens. Which means after the suspended claims period ends and community decision on AI agents concludes. Details will be shared with the community transparently. - Link to claim your $KAITO below!

the concept of hierarchy literally doesn’t register in my head

Raydium's plan to launch a Pump.fun competitor, LaunchLab, forcing retail liquidity into isolated markets, seems like a poor move. I disagree with this strategy, especially given their reliance on pump's current setup. theblock.co/post/346946/so…

my girlfriend is now receiving Kraken ads, lfg baby

incredible article, must read

Gong hit $300M ARR – but in today's market, they'd likely IPO at <2x revenue (~$600M valuation). Even at premium 7x multiple, they'd reach only $2.1B – far below their last $7.25B valuation. ServiceNow's Moveworks acquisition at ~22x ARR suggests M&A market might be heating up, but even at that multiple, Gong falls short of past valuation. Acquisition exist or just remaining private just sounds better.

instead of intern accounts, brands should consider using fixed-term contractor accounts. Way better way to consume deranged content

@JupiterExchange surpassed hype in 24-hour rev, making it the second highest fee-generating protocol in crypto according to DefiLlama. $2M in real revenue, not emissions or wash trading. Solana DEX aggregator showing product-market fit. place ur bets, placed mine

@milesdeutscher builders/contributors across different spaces are probably saying the same thing about their respective industries. Let’s see it through, these ebbs and flows are a common symptom within any emerging space

Anyone else feeling a bit disillusioned with this industry? And this isn't a feeling purely stemming from bad price action. It's been building for over a year. Look, I’m never “leaving” - and I’m a huge believer in certain verticals (like crypto x AI/RWA/certain DeFi applications, stablecoins, obviously $BTC too. BUT. I feel like in 2021 there was this permeating belief that blockchain could revolutionise the financial system. That what we were building was going to be an integral part of the digital future. But since major innovations in AI/robotics, and the relative lack of innovation in crypto (and the numerous scams which have come since), it feels like the relative importance of the industry has diminished. It feels like there are far more exciting things to spend energy on. Once again - I’m never “leaving”, but I am spending more time researching/building other things. You need to enjoy what you do to have a purpose to wake up and work hard every day.

@blknoiz06 shits wild big bro 😂

so yall tellin me saylor bought tens of billions worth at $100k+ while the bitcoin ETFs were seeing net inflows of $1B+ weekly & now that we're 20% lower theyre buying 1/100th of that amount while all of the bitcoin ETFs are net sellers?

One of the most promising partnerships that should be talked about more is this one in case you missed it, @ionet first collabed with @filecoin during late 2023, and if you don't know what filecoin is, it's basically a decentralized storage network that uses the FIL token, allowing its users to rent out unused storage space and securely store data As a part of it's plan to broaden its utility, over 1500 enterprise GPUs have already been integrated into $IO enhancing it's compute capacity, and by tapping into filecoin's network, @ionet is working creating a hybrid DePIN model that allows bridging between the web2 and web3 ecosystems This is what happens when giants come together to build the future Extremely excited to see what else is going to come out of this 😮‍💨
