After 6 years at Shopify, I’m joining @Opendoor as CEO. Here is why:
It is incredibly important that we use all of our energy and every modern tool at our disposal to build products that make home ownership easier. We must make the process of buying and selling a home less frictionful so more people do it.
Home ownership isn’t just about a house. It’s about families and communities.
The West has been built on the idea that ordinary people can stake a claim in their society, put down roots, and build a future. Renters move. Owners stay. That matters.
Studies show homeowners vote more, volunteer more, and are more likely to invest in their communities. It’s not sentiment—it’s data. Homeowners report higher life satisfaction and health outcomes. They have higher trust in our institutions and stronger families.
Ownership builds generational stability. Societies with broad-based property ownership are stronger. Alexis de Tocqueville saw it in America 200 years ago. Nothing has changed. Communities full of home owners are better communities. When people own, they maintain. Crime rates fall when ownership rises. Why? Because people guard what’s theirs. They police and take care of their neighborhoods, not out of fear, but pride. Ownership ties individuals to the fate of the community.
Home ownership is about putting down roots. And these roots tie us together and make our world better.
That is why the work to be done at Opendoor is so incredibly important. And that is why I believe we can build not just a successful company, but a generational company—one that empowers the promise of the West to be unlocked in the ways it was always intended. Today, Opendoor is the largest digital platform for residential real estate transactions, making it possible to buy, sell, and move at the tap of a button. We are 1% done along this journey!
My experience at Shopify showed me what happens when you build a platform that unleashes innovation at scale. Shopify gave millions of entrepreneurs the tools to change their lives, their families, and their communities. That platform mindset is what I hope to bring to Opendoor—to build a platform for homeownership, one that unlocks opportunity for millions of families and strengthens the fabric of society.
And that is why I am so incredibly proud that I get to support this team in our mission to use every tool at our disposal to make selling, buying, and owning a home easier.
AI gives us the chance to accelerate this work in ways never before thought possible. From simplifying the process of buying and selling, to unlocking personalized pathways to ownership, AI can help millions of families access homes more efficiently, more affordably, and more transparently than ever before. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine what’s possible in real estate.

@austincampbell (for that argument) yes but without the price action, there’s still some benefits:
• transaction privacy with the right setup
• no risk of debanking or stolen funds
The original story of Bitcoin was one of independence and privacy but ambitiously evolved to replacing fiat.

@arvin So the purpose is to start the transition away from the dollar and deliberate abandonment of the reserve currency in favor of BTC?

@austincampbell further, the likelihood of an executive order similar to 6102 increases durastically. don’t think anyone wants that…

I oppose the BSR because I care about America and the government. Using the money of hardworking American taxpayers to damage the dollar and pump crypto bags is insane and insulting.

Some bitcoiners don’t like the USG & therefore don’t want the USG to own Bitcoin. Others aren’t American and/or don’t care either way. One is entitled to such views. I simply take the view that Bitcoin is good for everyone, including America, and it’s good if we have some.
