“The reason I was so driven to start @solana was that I didn't know what to Google for." Solana founder @toly built a $47 billion network from a 4 a.m. idea he thought was original. His parents escaped the Soviet Union with $50 to their name and built everything from nothing so he'd have the shot they never did. He spent years as an engineer at Qualcomm. Then over two coffees and a beer at Cafe du Soleil, one idea kept him up until 4 a.m.: a way to use proof of work to measure time. That idea became proof of history, the core mechanism behind Solana. In this episode: - Why he thought he'd invented something Stanford had already published - How mining crypto in 2017 led to the eureka moment - Why Multicoin outworked every big VC on Solana's cap table - The 1,000 meetings it took to get Solana funded - What FTX collapsing felt like from the inside Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=oNk1KE…


Bernie Sanders and Abdul El-Sayed have endorsed William Lawrence for a congressional seat in Michigan. Lawrence said that Black political leaders are a “pillar” of the “capitalist, imperialist” American establishment, and that by backing Dem leadership they “defang the white left.” His Dem primary opponent is @MattMaasdam, a Navy SEAL endorsed by union locals. huffpost.com/entry/surging-…
