Starting Fresh for 26' Will be an incredible year, feeling it big time Using this account to post ideas, market thoughts, lessons along the way, investments, and things I enjoy in life

the lyft vs uber price gap at JFK is insane. $120 vs $320 for a black car. one of the clearest examples of what happens when a brand owns the default & stops competing on price entirely

@pet3rpan_ i've always argued, PST works more hours than any other timezone...

PST is literally the worst Timezone, I can’t believe how y’all actively are able to do this consistently

x.com/techcrunch/sta… Yup

the irony of the AI moment: the tool that could teach you anything is being studied from a distance by ppl waiting to feel ready. you don't get ready. you just start.

some of my best thinking happens on walks. no input, no screen, just movement. the brain does something different when the body is moving. the irony is you have to stop working to actually think

stop saying. more doing

@Bfaviero Wha are you vibe coding this weekend?

It’s hard to say yes to weekend plans because I’d rather be vibecoding

@direkturcrypto @katana @megaeth Both overvalued

Unpopular opinion: @katana has 8x more TVL than @megaeth, yet Katana is valued at just $150M FDV vs MegaETH at $1.5B so what is it is Katana undervalued, or is MegaETH overvalued?

been thinking a lot about agentic payments & where the earliest use cases land. one that I keep coming back to...music ticket sales. the experience is broken by design...refresh a drop page at 10am, fight a queue, win or lose in 90 seconds. an agent doesn't get frustrated. doesn't misclick. doesn't lose wifi at 10:01am. it sits in the queue & executes the moment inventory opens. but the more interesting layer is upstream of that. if a user can pin favorite artists or venues, an agent can sit in the background, track announcements across platforms, & execute automatically when something relevant surfaces. the user stops showing up. they just set the terms.

@depression2019 imho only worth if you get the performance. have had mine over 5yrs now and love it. though prob going back to gas car this summer but will keep the YP. brembo breaks, better ride suspension, upgraded audio system, lower to the ground, and ofc quick af

Not to be dramatic but the new Model Y is the best thing I've ever bought. It's such a different experience from any other car I've owned, no idea how anyone could go back once they try. From a first time Tesla owner, here are my thoughts after owning for 2 months. First, you don't need a key, the whole thing is on your phone. The car has an entire security system that stays on all of the time, so robberies basically never happen. If you look at the stats, Teslas are much statistically less likely to get broken into. The car fully drives itself, I can't overstate how insane it is. You literally get in, click where you want to go and it takes you there and parks. This also has the added benefit of being able to talk to friends that you have in the car while you go somewhere, eat while you're driving, and actually focus on phone calls when you get them. I drove a truck before this and I genuinely think that the Tesla has more space, and usable compartments for storage as long as you're not hauling massive items. The ride quality is so nice, and the new insulation is simply insane, you can barely hear any road noise whatsoever. I don't have to go to a gas station, the thing plugs in my garage and is at 100% every day ready to drive. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.

it's IRL. as ai compresses the cost of every digital experience toward zero, the ones that can't be digitized don't just survive…they become the premium. presence, in-person, real human interaction. the rarer it gets, the more it's worth. the outlier companies that will disproportionately outperform aren't the ones removing humans from the equation. they're the ones adding them back. events, physical spaces, services that require a real person in the room, experiences that don't scale by design. the valuable asset becomes whatever ai can't follow.

@0x_ultra Best ccp cigs ever had 🤌

@shortsqueeznews @grok is this true? I believe EQX started going downhill when they replaced kiehl's with grown alchemist...this might be the catalyst needed for the gym to have a turnaround

BREAKING: Equinox replaces Grown Alchemist with Le Labo as its global amenities partner

To be ballin, you gotta “B - ALL-IN”

Being a W2 worker is another form of slavery

@aseidman @FreeBandito Understand rewards are different eg. Driving areas unmapped = higher rewards and vise versa. Curious what is the avg length one has to drive to break even on paying for the actual hardware of the Bee around current price levels

@FreeBandito If I give you a Bee how is that unprofitable?

my bee is incredibly unprofitable hivemapper is a cool company but unless you drive full time just know you will not be making any $$$

@DefiIgnas Take time to refine strategy and how we will execute that strategy once tides turn

People who work at crypto companies during this boring market? What do you actually do right now?

@theVCalmanac If you want to be in the trenches for crypto, you need to be in NYC

Chamath: Work-life balance is the worst thing happened to young people. "The first and most important thing is you have to be on Broadway." "If you're into politics, you need to be in Washington D.C. If you want to be in finance, you need to get to New York or London. If you want to be in crypto, you probably need to be in Abu Dhabi. If you want to be in tech, you just need to be in Silicon Valley." "There is no shortcut for any of these decisions. You have to be where the fish are." "The number of young people I encounter who talk about all of these idiotic things like work-life balance. I don't even understand what that means." Remote work is convenient. Being where it happens is how you win. video: @chamath
