In 2017, he planned to write an essay on why blockchain wouldn’t work. He ended up arguing the opposite.
@A_Vassallo from @FirstCitznInnov explains why stablecoins are the internet’s dollar and why Bitcoin is still overlooked.

Last week @ahtsao opened our SF Tech Week evening for @FirstCitznInnov on the same day SVB, where I spent 15 years, became First Citizens Innovation Banking.
Different name, same bank that has funded more of the innovation economy than any other.
Thank you, Andy, for backing this event and for your support. #SFTechWeek
SF Tech Week is always electric and this year it has been the perfect launchpad for First Citizens Innovation Banking 🚀
Excited for tomorrow’s Blue Angels watch party and fireside chat with @jyotibansalsf, @vcrama + Marc Cadieux.

Four people who think about home ownership very differently last night at the UP2HOMES event for SF Tech Week.
A professor who wrote the book on venture decisions. The founder who stops home crimes before they happen. The founder who showed us his AI agent running a house live. And a VC raising a fund so unicorn founders can afford a home in San Francisco.
Thank you to @NixonPeabodyLLP and Lior Zorea for hosting, @FirstCitznInnov and @ahtsao for supporting, our MCs @sophia__sharif and @Shubham46638431, and @romeenarealtor for stepping into the demo.

The fifth episode of Rounds, Take the Money and R1, airs next Thursday, October 1st at 1pm ET.
Stephanie Davis and I are starting with the biggest recent headlines in health tech. Oura filed its long awaited S-1 and we walk through the puts and takes of business opportunity and a rich implied valuation. Additionally, we discuss p(doom) as an ex-Anthropic researcher says AI staff are "genuinely frightened" for humanity's future, putting the odds of AI wiping out humanity within a decade at more than 10%.
Then we're joined by Megan Scheffel, Head of Life Science and Healthcare at @SiliconVlyBank (our amazing sponsor), to dig into SVB's latest report on healthcare investments and exits. Venture fundraising has hit a decade low. Is that a pause or a permanent shift? We'll also talk AI valuations, IPO candidates, and where M&A is heating up.
Closing out the episode are Dan Bise, EVP of Strategy and Corporate Development at R1 RCM, and Jeremy Friese, MD, CEO and Founder of Humata Health. They'll walk us through R1's take-private, its push toward an AI-native revenue cycle, and why Humata became the "must-own" piece for solving prior authorization.

last night's founders vs. vcs padel tournament proved that being really good at building and funding hard tech does not necessarily translate to being good at padel 😂
such a fun night with my friends at @AmbitionCapital. @lacostejonathan and @sawsan_haider are an a+ team and an absolute blast to partner with. couldn't have asked for a better event for austin deep tech week!
@SiliconVlyBank
A combination of VC funding and government adoption are helping shape the next generation of space innovation.
We crunched the data from 89 venture-backed space companies to see how the ecosystem is evolving. bit.svb.com/4Amckjr

In countries with high inflation, people call stablecoins "dollars."
What happens when the money lands?
The next phase gets decided by infrastructure, enforceability, and visibility.
Just wrote Runaway Dollarization with @0xdirichlet of @sphere_labs. White paper below 👇
First Citizens Innovation Banking retweeted
Stablecoins are becoming the internet's dollar, and that shift is starting to reshape monetary sovereignty in high-inflation economies.
Our new report with Silicon Valley Bank looks at what is driving that shift, and how controls can keep pace as emerging market adoption scales.
