The biggest issue facing young adults today?
Housing & lack of community.
The picket fences and idealistic social towns of the boomers are but a fever dream of the past. Having a garden AND room for 2.4 kids? You best hope you joined Anthropic in 2023.
This is a failure of a half century of bungled policy holding back the original ultimate human technology. Cities.
@devonzuegel thinks there is no reason the next great American city can’t be oriented to both families and founders, and she's hard at work 90 minutes north of SF proving it.
For Episode 9 of Forecast 2050, I sat down with Devon of @esmeralda_inst to talk about harnessing urban planning as a powerful technological force for good, age-segregation in America and the impending population crisis, and why we need more incredible cities popping up across the country over the next 25 years.
We discuss:
- The American college system drives age-segregation and breaks up families.
- How self-driving cars will transform cities by 2050.
- The widening gulf between the physical and the digital, as it becomes increasingly harder to build in the real world and easier to do things in the digital one.
- Why we need an alternative to the suburbs.
- Chautauqua, the town once home to Thomas Edison’s family, as the inspiration behind the family-oriented builder community Devon is building with Esmeralda.

Excited to be talking about fixing the internet, protecting individual sovereignty, upgrading the world's financial system and all in between in NYC June 10th!
BlueYard Capital@blueyard
When we started investing in crypto back in 2016, the industry was raw, deeply philosophical, and full of wonderful experiments and rebellious folks unified through a deep sense of purpose and ambition. There has been a lot of success. ETFs are approved. Institutions are here. Finance is fully moving on-chain. The technology has matured. But somewhere along the way, the dream shrank. Crypto is more than currencies and financialization. There is no reason at all that crypto shouldn’t be the fabric to protect individual sovereignty, to fix the internet, to coordinate infrastructure at unmatched scale, and to provide a secure, trustless foundation for the next agent-dominated age of the Web. So @privy_io, @AmbushCapital and BlueYard are calling a timeout. On June 10th we are gathering 100 of the most serious founders, builders, and OGs in New York. No stages, no panels. Just honest debates and a bias toward action to rekindle the chaotic, cyberpunk, world-eating ambition that got us here in the first place. More details to follow. Applications are now open: luma.com/2jd3y9m6

What happens if crypto “wins” by becoming invisible?
@blueyard × @variantfund are hosting a private, off-the-record dinner in NY on January 8th to debate power, autonomous agents, decentralization premiums, and which crypto beliefs deserve to die.

I was sick of seeing all these crypto debit cards for wallets, we're supposed to be replacing TradFi not joining them! How hard could it be to do it crypto native anyway?
So I created this - FreePay - the worlds first open source, fee-free payment terminal.

I'm very excited to share this - a lot of how we build is modeled after @stripe's craft and attention to detail.
On our end, we're excited to push even harder for our partners across the many verticals crypto impacts today!
It's going to be a very exciting few years!
Privy@privy_io
1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy. We couldn’t be more excited. Privy will continue as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.
