My call, next 30-60 days: -Irans IRGC will collapse. - Oil into the $50’s. -Pure disinflation will become the primary trend (well into the 2030’s) as rates plummet. Sub 4% 10 yr in Q4 and 3.5% in Q1 2027. - No, Kevin Warsh is most certainly NOT a hawk. -Interest rate sensitive names will begin a parabolic move higher into year end. -Groups to own; semis/tech, small caps, gold, silver…especially gold miners… housing, Bitcoin.

@ryanstellar @gmoult Fair enough. But sometimes I just want to freshen my breath without the entire world knowing about it.

@slotkinjr The confusion is understandable, it's my fault for choosing PFPs of me vibing instead of desiccated with a pump. Getting hyped for a bulk, but it’s months off,

@ryanstellar @gmoult Maybe you could explain to me like I'm five why I used to be able to purchase a tube of toothpaste for the beginning sixty years of my life without first summoning the Keyminding Gods of Walgreen's and praying that the wind that day might just possibly blow in my favor.

this is the whole point - crypto & blockchains are simply the underlying infrastructure we are entering an era where the innovation at the underlying infrastructure layer is ~done it is the era of innovation at the application layer & application infrastructure layer

💸 Today I invested in a new thing: Ethereum is essentially a public spreadsheet with every transaction being visible for everyone forever But that makes it impossible to use for banks because it's not private. Imagine you buy something and everyone in the entire world can see it? That'd be never be accepted So my friend @oskarth has been working on a new thing called @eth_systems that lets banks use Ethereum but while keeping transactions private Before this he was working for 10 years on stuff like zk-SNARK (math tricks that let you prove something is true without revealing the details) and advising the Ethereum Foundation, he's the most high IQ person I know, so when he started something that's for-profit (after lots of non-profit work) I asked to invest immediately YC always taught me to invest in people not companies, the companies (and product) can change (and should) and it can pivot into lots of other things, but if you trust the person you can estimate a higher likelihood of it (and your investment) working out If you like to see what they will make, follow @eth_systems 😊😊😊

Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. x.com/eth_systems/st…

@txmedai I’ll take the other side of that; maybe not “peptides” general. Sema/Tirzepatide is a big deal though

I don't think GLP-1s or peptides in general are going to change the trajectory of healthcare spending. Either costing so much they move the needle or saving downstream obesity costs. Fight me.
