@sobradob @ErrolTostigson What do you mean “worse”? Mexico has the world’s largest Spanish-speaking population and in media.
English
@sobradob @ErrolTostigson Social media HAS driven Spanish-speakers from LatAm and Spain to use more common speech.
Example: I see more and more Spaniards using "ustedes" where before they would have used "vosotros".
Wasn't the case when they didn't have a virtual space where they interacted.

@theisaacmed Do you mean clip redistribution or clip creation ? (I have neither)

@sobradob @ErrolTostigson Stop talking so much shit. You are not even Latino.

@MonteroVerdi @ErrolTostigson Might not be true for Dominicans and other caribbeans because the speak an incomprehensible dialect

Spoke with a potential matchmaking client who’s 6’4, handsome, wealthy family + cool pursuits of his own, zero problems meeting women, but usually the wrong women. Wild stories he shared:
• He invited a woman he’d been on 3 dates with to spend a weekend with him on his family’s yacht. Her response was to request the yacht brochure, because she said she “can get seasick on <80m boats”
• A different woman he’d been seeing suddenly ghosted him, then reappeared in his life a month later in a full-blown relationship with a wealthier guy on the periphery of his circle.
• While staying in Paris, a woman he was introduced to asked to use his room number to land a coveted dinner reservation at his hotel. He obliged, then she secretly billed €9,000 of spa services to his room pretending to be his wife. When confronted, her response was, “But it means nothing to you!”
My value proposition is shielding him from gold diggers 😭

GameStock raised $2M and was featured in this piece written by @sobradob
My path to becoming a founder was very unconventional.
- Ex pro athlete (Seattle Mariners)
- Over 1M+ listeners on Spotify (9M streams)
- Raised $2M for GameStock
- UIUC dropout
I think the only other person that has been a pro athlete, had over 5m streams on a song and raised millions in VC is @jakepaul
We are excited to be at the center of building a new sport. Trading.

@AlexH_Johnson KYC only is a bit of a betrayal of crypto principals, just as collapsing gambling into finance is a betrayal of tradfi principals, healthy compromise here.
English
My favorite bit:
“One thing worth noting: for Robinhood, these will all be KYC-verified users. Some people will find that controversial.”
KYC is the thing some people will find controversial.
Not the fact that finance, social media, and gambling are collapsing into a single product category that will be “huge”.
We are cooked.

Robinhood is going all-in on the @Pumpfun thesis here. Younger generations are just much more in tune with social gambling and gamified media than older generations. Crypto Twitter is essentially an early version of that, just very poorly executed. @coinbase has tried something similar with the Base app, but hasn’t really found PMF yet and are pivoting to a more vanilla trading app. The intersection of finance, social media, and gambling is going to be huge, and @RobinhoodApp has a real shot here. We’ve taken several swings at this in crypto, but have never really hit scale because the asset class is small and memecoins on their own are too zero sum game: @VECTORDOTFUN , acquired by Coinbase @farcaster_xyz shutting down I think the best crypto-native companies that still have a real shot here are: @Polymarket @Pumpfun One thing worth noting: for Robinhood, these will all be KYC-verified users. Some people will find that controversial, but it also means you won’t get the same level of AI slop, spam, and AI bots that @X still hasn’t been able to get rid of. I actually think that’s pretty interesting. This is going to be a huge category.
