If you work in crypto, you have non-zero chances that your counter party on Telegram is from North Korea... or works for the FBI!
It's that time of the year again! 🔥🍁🍂

One of us! One of us!
Yesterday I made a case for wallet providers to start working on in-wallet apps (and in-wallet app stores).

I think this is a necessary evolution to make crypto more mainstream by overcoming the UX limits that we all currently face as an industry with the current paradigm of "Wallets need to connect to app". The current paradigm works for power users and it can stay. But we need another order of magnitude of UX improvement to make crypto mainstream.

Let's flip this upside down and start working on a "Apps need to connect to wallets" paradigm 👇
There is nothing like the feeling of sending an investor a simple link and shortly after receiving a slack notification letting you know of the successful execution of that investment 🔥

Awesome founder UX ✅
Awesome investor UX ✅
Not sure about that one 🤔 😅
The sun enjoyooooor 🐱
Autumn. Most beautiful season 🍂
Especially in New England!
You only have 1 real asset in your life:
The trust people put in you.
This is the one asset you need to cherish and cultivate all your life.

The pillars to gain people's trust over time are very simple:
1. Transparency. "Say what you do".
2. Reliability. "Do what you say".
3. Skills. "Do things well".

The most difficult part: You need to do that all the time, throughout your entire life! Gaining trust is hard and takes a lot of time. Losing it is extremely easy and fast: it just takes one screw-up!

Honor the trust people put in you, in any situation, no matter how hard it is and I promise you that you will be rewarded. Trust compounds!
A nice view of Strasbourg, Alsace to celebrate the revamp of channels 🤗🇫🇷

It's quite difficult not to bullish on Coinbase :)
We have a little habit while waiting for food at a restaurant: I play Wordle with the kids. They love it :)

A great article from 2013 from Scott Kupor guest posting on @pmarca 's blog. Scott Kupor has a compelling argument that the progressive reduction of the "tick size" (the minimum increment in which stock prices can trade) has had a profound negative impact on small cap IPOs.

This argument makes sense: the tick size of a stock should be inversely correlated to its liquidity.
* The more liquid the stock, the smaller you want the tick size -> higher price definition, favoring retail investors and HFT.
* For less liquid stocks, you want a larger tick size -> more interesting for market makers to trade the stock and increase its liquidity.

Once we put equity onchain, we have programmable equity (cc @fairmint 🔥 ) and markets where the tick size could be a function of the liquidity.

What is sure is that innovation in that field will come from the private market. Public markets are way too regulated to welcome any innovation at this stage.

That sums it up pretty well ☕

I am such a hot topic during lunch break discussions right now, you wouldn't believe it!

This chart is nuts 🤯

Wealth creation now entirely happens in the private market. Sorry dear US retail investor 🤷

Gary has protected you so much that you are now protected from even accessing the best assets in the world. Only memecoin lottery tokens for you...

We need to make IPOs great again!
I can finally post this meme 😁
