First day at the new office

We raised an additional $10M led by @a16zcrypto! Grammy had something to say about it:

@ravi_riley & @rohanpatraxyz up to something realllll cool

I tried uninstalling Chase and living entirely off crypto a few months ago. It got me surprisingly far, but left me hanging the moment I needed to interact with legacy systems. Have you ever tried paying rent with USDC? It doesn't really work. It turns out there are still a ton of intermediaries between us and actually using crypto for everyday finances, the kinds of things you'd normally use your primary bank for. That's why I perked up when I first spoke to Ravi and Rohan and heard about their ambitious plan to get every one of these legacy systems to integrate crypto. It was clear that success here would be a big deal, and that they were the right team to pull it off. Ravi and Rohan are seasoned entrepreneurs who've built businesses generating millions in revenue. So we started working together. In just the last three months, they've already secured critical buy-in from several legacy providers. At this pace, it won't be long until I can actually uninstall Chase for good. I'm thrilled they chose to build all of this on Seismic. It's rare for a team of this caliber to bet on being a flagship app of an early chain. It says a lot about how much true fintech developers care about privacy. And they're not alone. They're the first of many builders who've told us privacy was a deciding factor. Excited to share more in the weeks ahead!

@defi_monk @MessariCrypto congrats @defi_monk ☀️👏👏

Last Friday was my last day at @MessariCrypto. It’s been an absolutely incredible experience, and I truly believe Messari is THE best place to be in the industry if you want to expand your horizons as a crypto analyst (they’re hiring rn btw). Forever thankful that they took a chance on me and let me run wild. I am leaving on great terms and will always shill this company. Extremely bullish on @eric_turner and the entire org. If you don’t already, go follow every member of the research team. They’re all badass. As for the 15k new followers I didn’t have a year ago, thank you so much for supporting my research. Seeing the ripple effects of my reports on CT has continuously pushed me to get better and better as an analyst. I will continue to write often on here. In fact, I’m excited to start sharing more of my longer form insights for free! Very pumped for what’s next and will be announcing my new destination shortly.

@Old_Samster congrats @bloomberg_seth & sami 🫡🫡!

Today I’m proud to announce Unsupervised Capital — a liquid token fund dedicated to Bittensor. At a moment when conviction feels scarce across crypto, I’ve never felt more clarity or confidence about a single thesis: Bittensor. I’m launching this with my longtime friend @bloomberg_seth as Partner and the backing of @CrucibleLabs as our anchor investor. Feels surreal to write this. Four years ago I was working as an aerospace engineer, dreaming of managing capital. Today, that dream begins. The name Unsupervised Capital is a nod to unsupervised learning — where algorithms find structure in raw data without labels or instructions. Like those algorithms, we don’t follow maps. We explore the edge, where others hesitate. That's where the best opportunities live. Bittensor has created something unprecedented: an open market for intelligence. It turns models, data, and compute into tokenized assets—creating entirely new investment primitives. Old frameworks don’t apply here. This is why we started Unsupervised: > To play in the frontier > To bet on what hasn’t been discovered yet > To back builders creating the next layer of intelligence This fund is my biggest bet to date. I’m all in—and I’ve never been more sure. We just published the full announcement, including our thesis and strategy (in next tweet) GLHF

Life update: after 3 years, yesterday was my last day at @MessariCrypto Want to thank all the gigabrains there that have help me grow from a noob research analyst to where I am today. Wouldn’t have been possible without the team and all the Messari alums Imo there’s no better place to develop your crypto knowledge. I’ll always be bullish on Messari and I’m hyped to watch them continue to build As for me, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll still be in the crypto trenches. Find me onchain On to the next chapter

@bloomberg_seth congraτs seth👏🏾👏🏾

Personal update: After a 3 year journey, yesterday marked my last day at Messari. I’m incredibly thankful to those who gave me the opportunity to join the Messari research team. Closing this chapter is bittersweet. I couldn't be more excited for what's next. More deτails soon.
