Rippling AI was the most successful launch we've ever done. On the heels of this launch, Rippling's revenue is now growing 78% YoY (at ARR over $1 Billion). And this growth rate has now increased, every quarter, for three straight quarters.

Today, Apple allowed @AxieInfinity to release a lite version of their game in the App Store. This is a huge step forward for crypto gaming and the player-owned economies @DjSterlingC describes in his new piece.
Axie's lite mobile app gives players free non-NFT "starter characters," which is different from the original game where users had to buy/rent NFTs to play. Eventually, users can buy other in-app Axies (which will be turned into NFTs) and current NFT holders will be able to move their Axies into the app.
This marks the first time Apple has allowed externally purchased NFTs to be usable on the app store📱, paving the way for more crypto games to come!!
Replying to @DjSterlingC
Player-owned economies are the product of a rising CAC caused by increased mobile usage, a shifting ad landscape, and the death of cookies.
This has taken the form of fully-fledged economies like in EVE, or the ability to buy and trade in-game assets like in Counter Strike.
At Eaze, I searched high and low for a fintech that could build us a turnkey wallet-as-a-service and was pretty stunned it didn't exist. Luckily, @sophgoldb have the chops to make this happen. Excited to see them build @cheaperpayments!

During the mass adoption of the www, no one cared about what a "HTTP" was, they just cared about visiting websites. User experience above all. Awareness of "NFTs" (the tech) should never be the goal for adoption. The experience is what wins in the long run.

⁉️This week many law students start On Campus Interviewing.Every single interview will end with “what questions do you have for me”?
Some of my favorites 🧵👇
I sat down @sophgoldb to ask her a series of questions about her amazing book and revel in payments nerdery. Turns out we recorded it for the If Then Podcast! Find out what Sophia thinks payments will look like in President Zendaya's administration. open.spotify.com/episode/0HD…
If the copious laughter doesn’t make it apparent, @DavidIkenna and I had a blast chatting about my book, payments on Mars, crypto, and more!

While DeFi users are more crypto natives, crypto gaming & NFT users are mainly new to crypto & the concept of wallets/self-custody.
The mass retail market won't be onboarded to crypto by financial services only, but by a wide-ranging application layer built on top of it.
The blockchain remains a bad place to do financial crime

Optional dub? You were THIS close to making a 4th Predator sequel interesting. No more half measures Walter.
Hulu will offer the option to watch 'PREY' in the Comanche language with the original actors returning to perform their roles.
