I'm pleased to announce the launch of Citizen X, a crypto-native thesis-driven venture fund dedicated to investing in Web 3.0 and decentralized technologies.
@CitizenXcrypto has been in the works for more than 6 months and today we go out of stealth mode.
Beyond proud of Dylan and JZ for the hard work they have put into building Catalyst.
Have been invested in these guys personally and thru @citizenxcrypto since day 1 and have doubled down as well.
Excited to see them win.
Introducing Catalyst.
What do you believe? How would you trade on it?
You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion.
Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.
Happy 4th, America is the greatest country on earth.
So blessed to be born here and be given the opportunities that I have
Believe we got account under control now sorry for anyone who bought a “Citizen X” token lmao
Back to your usually scheduled programming

The lines between gaming, trading, and social apps keep getting blurrier. Everything is becoming more fun, more competitive, and more financialized. When my co-founder and I started out in gaming 15+ years ago, nobody could have made me believe that our top players would ever turn into the most subscribed trading influencers on Youtube. But here we are.

If you’re in niche consumer footwear, pivot to AI
$BIRD is selling its brand and footwear assets renaming itself NewBird AI and using a new $50M convertible facility to pivot into AI compute infrastructure by buying GPUs.
Going from selling wool sneakers to chasing AI compute might be one of the wildest pivots this cycle.

JZ is my best friend.
Over the past 18 mos, I’ve gotten to see him go from an agentic lending platform cooked up across group chats to the first platform for autonomous trading onchain.
AI agents that take actions onchain aren’t a meme, they’re here & Catalyst is going to win!

On chain trading innovation happening here @catalystapp

every asset class that becomes portfolio-relevant eventually gets financialized - cultural assets feel overdue for that cycle:
- continuous markets
- lending / credit
- derivatives
- yield
- index products
there’s no reason an fp journe shouldn’t be a yield-bearing asset
no reason you shouldn’t be able to post a psa 10 gold star mew as collateral and borrow against it the way you borrow against eth
no reason a birkin index shouldn’t exist
we’re building financial rails for everything except the assets younger investors are explicitly allocating to + the ones that would materially benefit from being onchain
