A close family friend was an early employee at Miro and spent almost a decade there. She was planning to retire early from her equity. Sad to see the news about Bending Spoons buying it for $1.79B. Miro peaked at a $17B valuation in 2022. Goes to show that equity really is Monopoly money until it becomes real and you need to watch for signs of distress in a company you dedicate your life to.

Interesting to see the difference in engagement on X vs LinkedIn. I only have about 1k followers on LinkedIn but have more than half the engagement I received on X. The LinkedIn algorithm will keep a post going for a week where X is only a couple days at best.

Nearly halfway, but i’m telling you this shit isn’t easy

this is why I use @CryptoTaxSucks every year. You don’t mess around with the IRS, it was only a matter of time that they figured out the blockchain to get tax evaders.
many crypto influencers are about to face some serious problems. i’ve been working undercover for the IRS for the past few years, tracking twitter personalities and their onchain activity. thanks to social apps like fomo and pumpfun, a lot of the missing pieces have finally fallen into place, allowing us to connect a lot of dots. the top 100 PnL leaderboard alone has already led to 23 tax evasion investigations over the past few weeks. thank you for your attention to this matter.

Replying to @hilbertspaess
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

the level of production value the @tryramp team brings is unmatched
Ramp made a real Broadway musical starring Billy Porter, Billy Zane and Jessica Billy Vosk. It’s a show about bills. By Bills. Starring Bills—with original songs, full choreography, and an actual Broadway playwright. In the 1950s and ’60s, America’s biggest companies staged lavish musicals about cars, appliances, and soda. Somewhere along the way, we lost our nerve. We’re bringing back the industrial musical. One night only, September 25, at the Broadhurst Theatre. billpaythemusical.com

Happy to formally announce I've joined @nansen_ai as the new Head of Marketing. The New Game of Trading: Vision + Thesis With the world becoming increasingly more risk on and speculating on assets continue to gain momentum (sports gambling, prediction markets, options and perps, collectibles etc), I believe building for that future, and equipping users with exceptional tools, data, and digital experiences is where i'll be putting my focus. The game of trading traditionally has been siloed between the people with edge, and ones without. As those lines begin to blur and the tools people now use become more advanced, there's a clear sign on where the puck is moving. Two things become clear: 1. The Rise of Social Trading - In a progressively digital world, where AI commoditizes content and the amount of content aggressively expands (dead internet theory), status and social equity are becoming more valuable than ever. A trading platform that can grow a user's PnL as well as their social equity, credibility and community will win. This also increasingly spreads organic reach, distribution and a sticky digital experience for this new trading paradigm. The current state of social trading allows for the top <1% to win and the other 99% to lose. Part of their edge is social equity, and it's not evenly distributed. Users need additional tools & signal to gain edge. 2. Edge w/ Data & AI - The moat between the haves and have nots is curated data. I believe more traders are not only becoming more quantitative but also increasingly qualitative at the same time. Qualitative signal (social): - Narrative shifts - Public figures bull/bear posting on social media - Pop culture/social trends Quantitative signal (data): - Onchain data - AI trading bots - Wallet tracking Where those two meet is where I think we can win. Whatever your preconceptions are about the current iteration of Nansen's trading platform, I can assure you, things are going to change very quickly... More on that soon. Excited to build something incredible.
