Saber que alguém completou uma faculdade é uma das formas de saber que ela foi comprometida com um projeto de 5 anos em que teve que lidar com frustrações, pessoas e outras dificuldades.
Faculdade não é mais uma receita pronta, mas ainda é um grande valor quando a gente tenta entender o comportamento de alguém.
Da mesma forma, an academia tem grande valor observando e transformando em aprendizado a prática.

Diploma não serve para nada, até hoje não fui buscar meu diploma de administração pq a intenção nunca foi fazer pra arrumar um emprego, fiz adm e marketing pra conhecimento proprio e aplicar isso aos meus negócios, então nesse caso, a faculdade foi útil para mim.
Mas nada que você não possa aprender sozinho usando a internet se tiver disciplina.

It’s a normal culture / counter culture cycle cleaning the farmers and shillers to a next good set of ppl who actually care enough to understand things clearly and contribute with development of new tech, new ideas and the future.
Lights are, techno is playing and the DJ just want to send this kids homes. Party’s over.
Now it’s time to get back to work, things happen after loads of hard work, those ppl complaining are the ones with so much time left that the only thing left for them is to complain.
We’ve been hit daily with so much FUD on P2Pme, but the moment you try to have a conversation, discuss technical arguments, data, logic, they’ll burn and fade away.
Farming time is over kids, let the grownups do the work so you can come and play on the next season.

Funny how all the accounts that are responsible for destroying CT are now the ones crying about what CT has become.
What did you think your endless airdrop farming and memecoin gambling would lead to?
CT stopped being what it once was a long time ago. It used to be about real investing. Sharing information, finding alpha and helping each other get smarter.
Today everyone just wants to extract short-term value and feels entitled to ridiculous rewards for pressing a few buttons and posting a tweet about it.
And now that the house of cards has collapsed, people are surprised? The audacity to complain about the very thing you created.
Meanwhile, institutions couldn’t care less about this kindergarten. They look at numbers, adoption, real use cases - and they’re more bullish than ever.
When did we reach the point where conservative institutions understand our industry better than the natives themselves?
Be the change you want to see or stop complaining.

The fact that a protocol @P2Pdotme follows the lead of successful cases of other protocols like the ones you cited, in the sense of betting for actual descentralization and governance (with futarchy this time) to keep the protocol running even in the tighest of regulatory scenarios.
2026 is a tough year for the true believers of decentralization. Regulations are being worked on all over the place, even in my country (Paraguay) there are regulations and resolutions about crypto that are in WIP state.
We should stick to what protocols P2P deliver: a product that can be used right away, a product that you can use everyday, a product that you can use it at any time, that is simple and intuitive and drives the path of actual mass adoption.
It feels challenging, but I see it with cute eyes. The future is P2P!

I've been thinking about a dynamic that doesn't get discussed enough: the relationship between token distribution and regulatory survival.
The basic observation is simple. Regulation needs a target. A CEO to subpoena, a company to sue, a bank account to freeze. This is how enforcement works. But what happens when there's no target? When ownership is distributed across 50,000 people in 120 countries? When there's no headquarters, no corporate entity, no single point of failure?
We have clear examples of this playing out.
Bitcoin achieved this state organically over a decade. Satoshi disappeared. Mining distributed coins to thousands of participants worldwide. Today there's no Bitcoin Inc to shut down. Regulators understand this. They go after exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, but Bitcoin itself keeps producing blocks every 10 minutes regardless of what any government decides.
Ethereum did it more intentionally. The 2014 crowdsale distributed ETH to thousands of early participants across jurisdictions. The Ethereum Foundation @ethereum exists but doesn't control the protocol. When the SEC started asking questions about whether ETH was a security, the answer increasingly became "it doesn't matter because there's no issuer to regulate anymore." Multiple independent teams maintain clients. No single entity can be compelled to change the protocol.
Uniswap is the DeFi-era example. @UniswapLabsVC built the protocol, but then distributed UNI tokens broadly and deployed immutable contracts. Today even if Uniswap Labs got shut down tomorrow, the protocol would keep running. The frontend can be geo-blocked, and it has been, but the smart contracts don't care. Anyone can build an interface. The liquidity stays.
Tornado Cash showed the limits and the stakes. The protocol was decentralized but the developers weren't distributed enough. They got arrested. The contracts still run, but the case demonstrated that decentralization has to be real and complete, not just aesthetic.
Now we're seeing a new wave attempting this transition in real time.
@p2pdotme protocol is where we're putting this thesis into practice. We're building decentralized on/off ramps, which is maybe the most regulatory-sensitive category in crypto. Converting between fiat and stablecoins without custodial escrow. We're launching the $P2P token with 50% floating at TGE, no insider unlocks at launch, ownership transferring to token holders through futarchy-based governance. The explicit goal is that the protocol becomes community-owned infrastructure rather than a company product. We chose this structure deliberately because fiat ramps are exactly the kind of thing regulators pay attention to. If we're going to build something that lets anyone in the world convert between local currency and crypto without intermediaries, it needs to be owned by everyone, not controlled by us.
The pattern across all these examples is consistent. Start with a team, build something valuable, distribute ownership as widely as possible, step back from control. The team that builds the protocol is not the same as the community that runs it. The transition is the key.
Here's where it gets interesting. We're now in a period where innovation is moving maybe 10x to 100x faster than regulatory frameworks can adapt. AI agents executing financial transactions. New forms of coordination that don't map to existing legal categories. Protocols doing things regulators haven't even contemplated yet.
The traditional advice is "wait for regulatory clarity." But clarity might take 5 years. Your runway is 18 months. What do you do?
One answer, increasingly, is to decentralize fast enough that by the time regulators decide what category you belong to, there's no longer a "you" to regulate. Just a protocol. Just a coordination pattern maintained by thousands of independent actors.
This reframes what ICOs actually are. The common view is that an ICO is a fundraising mechanism that happens to use tokens. I'd argue the more important framing is that an ICO is a decentralization mechanism that happens to raise money. The fundraising is almost a side effect. What matters is the ownership distribution.
Think about it. A project that raises $10M from 100,000 people has done something fundamentally different from one that raises $100M from 10 VCs. The first has potentially achieved sufficient decentralization. The second has just done a traditional fundraise with token aesthetics.
The implications for protocol design are significant. If decentralization is a survival strategy rather than just a philosophical preference, then you should optimize your token launch for distribution breadth rather than capital raised. Airdrops to actual users. Liquidity mining. Grants to contributors. Geographic diversity. Minimal VC concentration. Fast vesting for insiders. Anything that spreads ownership as widely as possible, as quickly as possible.
Some will object that this is just regulatory arbitrage. Maybe. But I'd distinguish between two cases. Using decentralization to continue doing something clearly illegal is bad and the decentralization doesn't make it legitimate. But using decentralization to preserve useful innovation while regulatory frameworks catch up is different. It's buying time for society to evaluate whether the technology is beneficial.
The printing press faced regulatory hostility. So did radio. So did encryption. In each case, the technology survived long enough to prove its value, and regulation eventually adapted. Decentralization can serve the same function for crypto and AI protocols. It's not evasion. It's preservation.
The protocols that understand this will structure themselves accordingly. Fast path to community ownership. Minimal insider concentration. Multiple independent teams capable of maintaining the code. Global distribution of token holders. No single entity that can be compelled to shut things down.
Bitcoin proved this model works. Ethereum refined it. Uniswap demonstrated it scales to DeFi. The next generation of protocols, in payments and AI agents and whatever comes next, will either learn from these examples or risk becoming regulatory casualties.
And when the regulatory dust settles in 5 or 10 years, the decentralized protocols will still be running. The ones that stayed centralized while waiting for clarity may not be.
Not financial or legal advice. Just observations about the strategic landscape.

Google Drive acabou de matar todos os apps de scanner.
O novo scanner de documentos do Drive:
- Escaneamento multi-pagina em tempo real
- Captura automatica e continua
- Detecta paginas duplicadas
- UI redesenhada (beta)
Voce aponta a camera e ele vai capturando sozinho, alinhando, cortando e organizando.
Parece simples mas pensa: isso matava CamScanner, Adobe Scan, Microsoft Lens...
O Google ta fazendo com scanner o que fez com Maps — absorver funcionalidade de apps pagos e entregar de graca dentro do ecossistema.
Quem ainda paga app de scanner?

It’s interesting to see how pagomovil works in Venezuela and compare it to how PIX works in Brazil, or UPI works in India, or even Pagos 3.0 works in Argentina, the Venezuelan infrastructure was developed top down from “previously” government beliefs of control and autocracy.
Venezuela has a huge learning to do on private freedom, individuality and tech.
There’s so much to copy and paste for the country with this - hopefully - new momentum, Venezuela is the land of opportunities right now for those wanting to build a more collective, freedom based and powerful infra for the ppl.

Cuando la gente habla de los fallos de Pago Móvil piensa en los datos sensibles que tienes que dar, que ojo si est un punto, pero pago móvil parte de una tecnología muy vieja y una trampa para que funcione.
Y ESE ES EL VERDADERO PEO.
