It is with a heavy heart to share that Ian passed away on Sunday, August 24th. To all of his friends and followers, he deeply valued your relationships. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched, both personally and professionally.

Perplexity has offered Google an unsolicited $34.5 billion bid to acquire Chrome. Multiple investors have apparently agreed to finance the deal. Can't imagine Alphabet selling it. OpenAI also expressed interest. Intriguing if you think about the Apple acquiring Perplexity rumors.
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years without you, Dad. Feels like both yesterday and forever ago at the same time. Love and miss you so very much ... yesterday, today and always. 🫶🫂💔🥹

"What's more important, electricity or petroleum? After WW2, oil was paid for by US dollars, so in essence oil had an ICO—oil became tokenized with money; oil became a security." ~@KiteVC/@MilkenInstitute
Interesting, as many explore tokenization & #Web3: bit.ly/Rewriting-Capital-Rul…

GENIUS Act impact? Poll below.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major proposed federal law to regulate stablecoins connected to the dollar. It could reinforce bank, FinTech and retailer innovation to bridge traditional finance and Web3 digital asset modernization.
