idk man, but trading probably isn't the way you're going to make it. Build something. Believe in something. Compound value over months and years. 1min chart < 10yr

@0xl3th3 @asph0d37 @kamigotchiworld game on

The @asph0d37 playtest has begun. It will run for one week. As well as a permanent mainnet item for Asphodel and @kamigotchiworld, there's $3333 in rewards available, split between in-game goals and a content competition. Start playing at the link below!

@pavelprata @murphcapital Yes! Meant it as a compliment! Intention achieved.

@thattallguy @murphcapital good, more time for LP meetings

Fundraising mode requires full lock in. We developed the official uniform for emerging managers raising a fund. Limited drop soon at @murphcapital.

man, I love the experiments these guys are running.

@internetvin you talking about yourself in the third person again vin?

The thing about a Why Combinator is as soon as someone says they are going to create it, they no longer have the capacity to create it.

@willwarren @abandeali1 Exceptional run Will. Excited to see where you put your energy next.

Today I’m transitioning out of my role as co-CEO at 0x. I remain a major shareholder, I’ll continue to sit on the board, and I will continue to lend my full support to @abandeali1 and the team. I’m proud of what we’ve built and our role in realizing the vision of tokenization and globally accessible markets. We started out building the first DEX protocol on Ethereum in 2016, weathered many cycles, and today our products drive billions of dollars in trading volume each month, powering onchain swaps for companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, Phantom, and Kraken. I strongly believe the space will continue to grow as all forms of value are tokenized onchain, and that 0x and Matcha will play a central role in this global mega-trend. Our products, partners, tech, institutional knowledge, track record, and balance sheet all put us in a strong position to lead this market. Our industry has entered a new phase; it’s hyper competitive, it’s crowded, and to survive here we must be able to make decisions quickly and move fast. Aspects of our org structure and operating model have slowed us in recent years, with the co-CEO structure being a major contributor. Amir and I have rebuilt and reimagined 0x multiple times over the past decade. Now Amir has my full support as he rebuilds the organization to thrive in a world where AI is rapidly enhancing individual capability and human coordination.

@Suhail whats the point of techcrunch

I don't understand how the tech media can afford to do this. What is the point of punching down like this? The whole ecosystem from founders to VCs understand that you try an improbable thing, you work hard for years, you learn, you get better, maybe it fails, you try again.

@netbackyard @TOtechweek lol dancing requirement as a filter is so good

May 26, 6pm, Toronto, private debate on the future of compute infrastructure, sovereignty, and AI industrialization in Canada. Topic: Will Canada become an AI compute power or remain raw material for someone else’s stack? The session is intentionally off-record. No recordings, no photography, and no livestreaming will be permitted. Attendance is limited to 40 experts in energy, land, construction, financing, chips, inference, neoclouds, AI labs, robotics. Those who attend must dance, no exception can be made.

@thattallguy 12.5M+ people and liquid yield-bearing assets sound promising, but turning robots into assets onchain doesn't necessarily make them liquid

I fell down the crypto rabbit hole for two reasons: 1. Networks like Facebook and YouTube created enormous equity value, but the people who made them valuable captured very little of it. 2. I saw a video about self-driving cars that could own themselves, earn revenue, and use that revenue to buy more cars. Crypto made sense to me as a toolkit for expanding ownership: DAOs, tokens, blockchains, and open finance all pointed in that direction. Robots now feel like the obvious place to apply what we’ve learned. A potentially bigger, more valuable, and more important category than social networks. Watching closely.

Four ideas to turn the innovation ship around: 1. Stop the government from picking startup winners. Wind down federal venture capital programs like BDC equity and the Superclusters. Instead, require Canada's eight biggest pension funds to invest about $7.5B a year into Canadian startups, with Ottawa chipping in another $2.5B alongside them. 2. Mandate the Maple 8 to deploy $10B/year into Canadian venture for 20 years. Legislate a 0.3% annual allocation from Canada's $2.5T pension giants (~$7.5B/year), with 20% reserved for pre-seed, seed, and Series A. Add $2.5B/year of federal pro-rata co-investment — no federal decisions, no first-loss risk. Twenty years of certainty is what unlocks global GPs and keeps founders building here. 3. Tax mansions, not founders. Scrap capital gains tax on early investments in Canadian businesses. Pay for it by taxing gains above $750K (or $1.5M per couple) on multi-million-dollar homes — leaving 99% of homeowners untouched. 4. Make it easier for small businesses to borrow. Expand the existing small business loan guarantee program to look more like the U.S. SBA — bigger loans, more lenders, and no forced personal guarantees.

@NathanWorsley_ lets go. What a journey. gg!

Euphoria is live! I'm proud to finally release Tap Trading to you, after more than 1 year of development. This is just the beginning of a long journey as we push the boundaries of what is possible on-chain. Short-duration derivative platforms which are simple and fun to use are a huge gap in the market. Blockchain infrastructure has finally caught up to the point where we can deliver real innovation to users, rather than just copies of the same stale ideas. Our goal is to make trading accessible to everyone and bring the next wave of mainstream users into crypto. The product you see today is the first of many experiences we have planned. Many people have wondered why I chose to build this, after a background in MEV trading, P2P exchanges, DEX development, and various research/advisory work across the crypto space. The truth is that this product deserved to be built. I have always loved difficult challenges, and this is the most sophisticated thing I have ever built. Technically, it sits at the intersection of many separate innovations, including low latency on-chain oracles, multiple concurrent CLOBs, and probabilistic market making. On an psychological level, it has also been challenging to relentlessly optimise for the most simple and fun experience around trading which it is possible to build. There are many challenges ahead, but if we succeed I believe this will propel the entire space forwards and open a new conversation about what is possible with on-chain derivatives and predictions. It has also been incredibly fun to build something which connects directly with users to deliver them the most dopamine we possibly can. I have had an incredible time building this, and I hope you will have an incredible time using it. I welcome all feedback on how we can make it more fun. I want to make you feel something. I love you all.

A dozen words of framing made people describe a Monet as “garbage” that was “inferior” to the original How you present a launch is as important as what you’re launching; people react to the story before the thing itself Fumble the framing and people will reject even a Monet

@FSioni_ @big_duca @conductor_build Brother it was a joke Fares. Just having some fun

@thattallguy @big_duca @conductor_build That is completely different. You use either Claude code or codex harness through conductor

I actually think “AI wrappers” with workflows capture a lot of value. I’m sick of switching tools. I’ve toggled between Codex and Claude code so many times. And now, I just use @conductor_build. Having to switch tools constantly based on the newest models is annoying.

@maybeltr How was that first beer?

Nobody has fun anymore because of SSRIs

@robjama Based

at this point the more I use AI, the more unemployable I become (I'll take all the credits I can get though )
