I'm considering becoming a (close to) full-time Podcast Host starting 2027. 🎙️ Who should I invite for a chat? 👀

Castle's High-Yield product keeps growing as we approach the Oct. 15 record date for $STRC. Total AUM is up 115% in the past 3 weeks
We’re seeing strong momentum from Castle customers allocating capital to $STRC and choosing to convert 100% of their dividends to Bitcoin since the official rollout of the High-Yield for both Individuals and businesses. High-Yield AUM is growing nicely !

Last week in Porto some Upside founders spoke with Team Genesis from Morais Leitão, on stock options and taxation. This kind of access used to mean knowing someone who knew someone. Upside exists to change that. Thanks Maria Gouveia & Isabel Carneiro Kahlen 🙏

Tomorrow, the @joinupsideclub hosts our 2nd Focused Session, in partnership with arguably the current best Portuguese Law Firm. 🇵🇹 The session is focused on Taxes and Stock Options, and hosted by someone who literally has been named Portugal's Tax Law Firm of the Year a couple of months ago. And completely for free! The value we're creating for the community & the Portuguese ecosystem is hard to grasp, but I'm sure will be noticeable in the years and decades to come. We're playing the long game. 😎 20 seats are taken but if you want to join, we may be able to accommodate it! luma.com/upsideclub-morais-l…

I'm getting an abnormal amount of messages & emails from both individuals - like Freelancers - but also other Agencies, offering their services. Seems like something may be going on, and it's not just AI. Anyone else feeling signs of a dry market?

We created gyms because modern day work no longer required physical activity. Without exercise, our muscles atrophy. I predict we’ll need gyms for our brains too, once AI starts doing our knowledge work.

O comunicado de imprensa dos meus advogados, Francisco Teixeira da Mota, Luísa Teixeira da Mota, William Bourdon e Vincent Brengarth, relativamente às acções vergonhosas tomadas contra mim pelo Estado português na quarta-feira: COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA Lisboa e Paris, 2 de outubro de 2026 Fim da proteção de Rui Pinto: os seus advogados apelam às autoridades portuguesas para que reconsiderem uma decisão com consequências gravíssimas Rui Pinto, o denunciante que esteve na origem do Football Leaks, foi notificado, na passada quarta-feira, de que o programa especial de segurança de que beneficia desde agosto de 2020 terminará no próximo dia 10 de outubro. Dentro de poucos dias, sem ter sido previamente ouvido, como a lei exige, perderá a residência protegida e confidencial que lhe foi atribuída e será obrigado a encontrar, com urgência, uma nova habitação, sem qualquer garantia de que a proteção policial se mantenha. A sua situação é agora crítica. As ameaças de que é alvo não são meramente teóricas: em abril passado, foi agredido em Lisboa. As suas revelações envolveram figuras poderosas e dotadas de vastos recursos, e muitos dos processos judiciais delas decorrentes continuam ainda em curso, como demonstra a decisão proferida há apenas alguns dias pela comissão independente da Premier League relativamente ao Manchester City. Privado abruptamente da sua residência protegida e colocado numa situação de extrema precariedade, Rui Pinto ficará agora mais vulnerável do que em qualquer outro momento desde 2020. Rui Pinto cooperou com a justiça portuguesa, e foi precisamente essa cooperação que justificou a sua integração num programa de proteção. As suas revelações, utilizadas por numerosas autoridades judiciais, fiscais e desportivas em toda a Europa, a começar por França, contribuíram para reforçar a transparência e a integridade no futebol. Os Estados que beneficiaram da sua atuação não podem simplesmente virar as costas à pessoa que assumiu os riscos necessários para trazer estes factos à luz do dia. Nos termos da lei, será interposto recurso administrativo desta decisão, com efeito suspensivo. Os advogados de Rui Pinto, confiando em que as autoridades portuguesas dariam a devida consideração à sua situação, solicitaram, na passada quarta-feira, ao Ministério da Justiça que reconsiderasse esta decisão, que divulgasse os elementos da reavaliação do risco em que a mesma se baseou, que o seu constituinte fosse ouvido e que garantisse, em qualquer caso, a continuidade da sua proteção. Até ao momento, não foi recebida qualquer resposta. Esta decisão e a forma como foi tomada, não respeita, lamentavelmente, o Estado de Direito e constitui um ato de terrorismo de Estado. Não podemos aceitá-lo. Francisco Teixeira da Mota Luisa Teixeira da Mota William Bourdon Vincent Brengarth

Muita gente ficou feliz com a fuga de Cristiano Ronaldo da seleção. Duvido que alguém esteja mais feliz do que a esmagadora maioria dos outros jogadores da seleção.

A take that I haven’t seen is the pressure that lands on legacy enterprises and businesses because of this launch! Users and clients will no longer tolerate terrible interfaces if even the government pulls this type of UX. The bar just got a lot higher on what people expect when using an online service.

Magical lunch with you guys! Let's keep it up, thank you André! ❤️
Last Friday in Lisbon, we sat down for lunch at noon. Nobody left the table until 4:30pm. One of the best @joinupsideclub lunches we've had. 🥇 This is the magic that happens when ambitious entrepreneurs are in the same room with a proper structure for a great chat. 🔥 ​We keep on betting on this new generation that doesn’t believe that the “secret is the soul of the business” but the opposite. We share our learnings, experiences, and vulnerabilities in the open as a growth mechanism. More events to come. Follow us at @joinupsideclub 🇵🇹

I'm convinced the majority of the most interesting breakthroughs are emerging properties of a group that are not pre-planned or defined a priori. Like how The Beatles wrote most of their songs. Look at Paul, jamming into the song. Start with a fragment, a chord progression, move to a melody line and let the song develop naturally through group interaction. You need that group chemistry and taste to decide where you want to go. Greatness emerges from the collective conversation/collaboration. It can't be planned.

📣 We're bringing @TheLeadDev Meetups to Porto!! 📣 Porto has grown into a strong engineering hub over the last few years. I'd love to help it become a phenomenal talent community for tech leadership too, and that starts with having the right forums to grow together. AI is changing how we work, how we organise ourselves, and what’s expected of each role. Layers are collapsing, and many of us are rethinking what an engineer, a tech lead, a staff engineer or an engineering manager is responsible for. The goal hasn't changed: build great products that customers love. But how we build, and how we lead (as ICs or as managers), is changing fast. I don't think anyone has this figured out yet. I certainly haven't. Which is why I believe we need more places where we can learn from each other: what's working, what needs to change, and what we're still trying to understand. So I'm really happy to share that, together with @nchaganlal , @LiliSousa and José António Silva, we're bringing LeadDev Meetups to Porto. Join here: meetup.com/leaddev-meetup-po… And if you have a story to share on stage, send me a message. We're finalising the line-up and still have some room.

Every founder eventually asks himself: "Should I fundraise?” Almost nobody asks the question that should come first: “Should you?” To answer this, we're hosting our 1st Focused Session, named “The Fundraising Dilemma”. October 1st. Online. Join us: luma.com/upside-focused-sess…
