@avc avc.com/2023/07/floodi… A smart VC investing in this raises my optimism level

@izakaminska Adding my 2c to 3 & 5 ie financed related, yes I read you at FT!

Until I can afford to outsource most of my work to ChatGPT I am constrained by there not being enough hours in the day to finish all the amazing stories I have in backlog. What should I prioritise for the Blind Spot today? Some of these stories have been in the works for over a year but need dedicated focus time, which I've just not had. 1. What was really behind the Yellow Rain panic of 1981. 2. The "other" Soviet-era copyright case that is still the thorn in the side of a modern billionaire. 3. Why we need an Uber surge model for intraday liquidity. [And why intraday funding markets are the next big thing.] 4. How an unlikely crypto entrepreneur came to create perpetual futures. 5. Why the financial system can't function without the return of unsecured funding markets, and this is evidenced by the attempted bank bailout of FRB. 6. Leaked lunch with Guy Standing, where he talks about his latest book the Blue Commons. [There's more, but I don't want to give absolutely everything I'm working on away. The above is separate to the five or so stories/comments I have for this weekend's Blind Spot newsletter. ]

How the Venture Studio model, borrowed from Hollywood, may finance the Blockchain Economy, replacing the current Fund centric model that drives Silicon Valley. dailyfintech.com/2019/05/11/how…

@stefos07409904 Interesting. Is this analysis also available for Bitcoin?

if you are getting fomo from elon pushing doge just keep in mind the amount of tokens just 13 wallets hold. this is irresponsible AF

I looked at Mastodon vs Nostr vs Twitter. The techie in me prefers Nostr to Mastodon due to ease/difficulty of switching apps. Nostr has nailed identity. However lack of users tells me Twitter is safe until next Bitcoin bull market - not too far away is my guess.

Twitter is not like Tesla or any of Musk’s other ventures in one simple way Tesla etc - demand is obvious if you can engineer & build a solution which is tough Twitter is trivial engineering but marketing & social/politics are tough. Takeaway: Musk will destroy Twitter

If Musk thinks he can turn Twitter into a payment platform he had better learn how to verify identity. The story of how @jesus got verified is wild.

I will be looking for news of Twitter bankruptcy on Twitter! The $44 billion loss would make FTX look like a sideshow.
