Omg too funny! Great advertising for this startup. If the CFO is the beanie guy, brilliant job at keeping your costs down.

I've been saying for the last 3 years that DeFi was coming to Bitcoin. Don't sleep on it. Will be a massive shift in the crypto ecosystem.

For those saying RFK Jr's amazing Bitcoin speech won't matter because he won't win, you're wrong. Trump and Harris are watching his comments closely and will adopt some of his talking points as their own. They have no choice. This is the game theory of Bitcoin in action. Enjoy.

@a16zcrypto's @cdixon recently wrote an oped in @FT on memecoins. Here’s a quote along with the full post on our site for your reading. 👇 "My goal here isn’t to defend or to diminish memecoins. It’s to point out the backwardness of a policy regime that lets memecoins thrive — while crypto companies & blockchain tokens with more productive use cases face hurdles." a16zcrypto.com/posts/article…

So not a surprise. Question is will they stop or is this an acceptable risk?

While prices are 📉, the fundamental advancement of Ethereum, DeFi, and crypto is 📈 up only. One of the best examples is @aztecnetwork inching one step further to shipping a privacy-preserving L2.
Today we're announcing Aztec Sandbox, a local developer testnet for smart contract privacy. Aztec Sandbox is the most ambitious software release in Aztec Labs history and the first major step toward Aztec's endgame: A fully decentralized, privacy-preserving Layer 2.
