Who is raising money in 2025? I'm looking to invest in some startups

@bryan_johnson I’m up for that, but where is the borderline for what you consider sweets (like juice, sauce, yogurt)? Where should I stop?

Now is the time to throw out all sweets within reach.

@0xSnaG @bitcoinarchive Looks like that machine is definitely washed out your brain…

@bitcoinarchive Wow the Ukrainian washing machine got a lot 👀

@levelsio Man, a couple of weeks ago you were literally offering a list of keywords related to all the world issues to block on X to make your feed “clean”. Now you are expecting some reaction from other people… 🤔

Being in Europe it doesn't stop to amaze me There's literally North Korean soldiers with guns Fighting a war in Europe now

@Lifeinvestmoney Those accounts usually have limits so you will not get 5% annual on more than 75k or 100k saved. You are welcome

Savings accounts are literally paying you 5% to do nothing What's stopping you from putting $3million in savings and living off $280k/yr for the rest of your life?

@intocryptoverse Do you have any suggestions where the top will be?

When I said that #ETH / #BTC was about to collapse last year, many people were calling for the flippening and scoffing at the idea that BTC dominance could go to 60%. Now many of those same people have become anti-ETH and calling for its demise at 0.038. Lol. If you were bullish on ETH/BTC at 0.08, but bearish on it at 0.038, then the market has completely tricked you. Yes, ETH/BTC could go lower, but the time to make the trade was 2 years ago, not today. ETH/BTC will likely bottom out *THIS QUARTER* (Q4 2024) between 0.03-0.04 (which is the current range). If 0.038 is not the bottom, then 0.036 is likely the next stop. Worst-case scenario is 0.03 but I highly doubt it goes that low. Imagine holding ETH for 3 years thinking the flippening was going to happen, only to capitulate during the quarter that it bottoms. ETH/USD will likely be weak until EOY just like 2016 and 2019 (also years where ETH/BTC broke down), but I think it will find some renewed strength in 2025.

@misterrcrypto How do you expect everyone to hold at least 1 BTC at current price of $63k? 😄

Everyone should at least own at least 1 #Bitcoin. It will become increasingly hard to hold this truly scarce asset.

Day 1 in SF: It’s possibly the nicest day of weather that I’ve ever had in the city, so I decided to do something really special…I’m at the Social Security Admin office in Downtown to apply for a Social Security Card 🦅🇺🇸

@gregisenberg Let’s go!

I'm looking for business partners. People who want to build a portfolio of cash-flowing internet businesses. But first, some context: 4 years ago, I walked away from WeWork. I had sold my company to them, watching as they raised and then incinerated $20 billion. It was unbelievable. Painful. I vowed never to be part of something like that again. In the aftermath, I found myself at a crossroads. This was 2020 and the tech world was obsessed with chasing unicorns, but I wanted something different. Something sustainable. I spoke to the people I respected in Silicon Valley. And declared I wanted to build cash-flowing businesses and raise $0 of VC. They looked at me like I had three heads. "You're going backwards," they said. "You're wasting your time," they warned. "You'll startups will eventually get crushed by VC-backed competition." Damn, lol. But I was tired of my fate hanging on a "yes" from VCs in Palo Alto. I craved control over my destiny. So, against all advice, I started Late Checkout, my holding company. It was profitable from day one - a stark contrast to my WeWork experience and a rarity in VC land. My goal - scale internet businesses powered by community, and on our own terms. The journey wasn't easy. We burned through millions and made more mistakes than I care to admit. But we persisted, and gradually, we cracked the code on scaling SaaS, marketplaces, and agencies. We discovered that the real power lies in building engaged audiences, fostering tight-knit communities, and finding creative ways to grow. Take our agency, @meetLCA, for example. You've probably never heard of it, but we're pulling in clients at an average of $1 million per year creating the interfaces for lots of the AI products and non-AI products you use everyday. It's like we've created a modern hybrid of IDEO and McKinsey, reimagining the future for our clients. And we did it all without a dime of VC money. Just one little funnel that works every single day. This has been the most enjoyable chapter of my career. I highly recommend holdcos for internet companies. You might enjoy it too. So, who am I looking for in a business partner: Maybe you're a solopreneur, and it's getting lonely. You've built something great, but you're hitting a ceiling. Or perhaps you're running a VC-backed startup, but you're dreaming of turning it into a cash-flowing powerhouse. (And maybe buying out your VCs – I can help with that.) Or you might be an indiehacker who builds incredible products that just aren't getting the attention they deserve. If any of these sound like you, here's what I'm offering: For businesses doing $500k-$5M, we could acquire a stake and scale it together. For those starting something new with a solid track record, we might provide the capital you need. Yes, you'll share the pie. But you won't go it alone. You'll work directly with me and my team. We'll be there to unblock you when you're stuck, to unstick you when you're trapped. We bring our playbook, our network, and our capital to the table. This isn't a distant, "call me quarterly" arrangement. We're in the trenches with you, day in and day out, helping you build something truly remarkable. This is the type of thing that sounds fun to me. And might sound fun to you. So, I decided I'd put it out there. So here’s my ask of you: 1) If this sounds like you DM and reply to this post. Ill respond to the most interesting ones 2) If this isn’t you, all good. Like always, I’ll share my learnings along the way. It feels like internet startups are at a crossroads. More and more are choosing the non-VC route. Id love to work with you.

@Object_Zero_ amazing. taking the material for my newsletter: brightbrief.substack.com

This engine is the greatest rocket engine ever built, BECAUSE they got rid of all the electronics and software. Fluid management system? Nope. The shape of the pipes is the fluid management. All of Mech Eng is full of similar opportunities.

@Maria10Lucky @coingecko Not sure what you mean here by “Even Ukraine” but talking about digital solutions - Ukraine is way more progressive than Germany

@levelsio It’s been there for a while already. But probably depends on your country registration

Revolut now has ETFs! Finally! Fees are still at least 100x (!) higher than regular brokers like IBKR though: You get 1 trade free per month with Standard package Outside of that it's 0.25% or £1 per trade! - Buying $10,000 of ETF costs you $25 on Revolut - Buying $10,000 of ETFs costs you $0.20 on IBKR So 125x more expensive I understand Revolut has to make money somehow, I'd prefer it just charges more in subscription amount and less in fees. Because I can't logically recommend Revolut as a trading platform if it has 100x higher fees. I'm sure Revolut's founders have their money invested on IBKR or other brokers and not on Revolut. They'd be crazy too. With high amounts of money and trades, trading fees become the biggest thing to optimize But great they added ETFs! -- (avg ETF price is $100 (eg VUAA), $0.002 avg per share cost (IBKR: USD 0.0005 to 0.0035 per share cost) * 100 shares (eg $10K) = $0.20 Full fee list: - Standard: 1 trade - Plus: 3 trades - Premium: 5 trades - Metal and Ultra: 10 trades - Any trades outside your monthly allowance will be subject to a commission fee. This will be the greater of 0.25% of the order amount if you are a Standard, Plus, Premium or Metal user, or 0.12% of the order amount if you are an Ultra customer, or the minimum fee of £1.

@100trillionUSD Hey man. Do you have any insights on Ethereum? Would appreciate your perspective 👌
