Joined December 2021
Weโve raised $14M from Peter Thielโs @foundersfund and other visionaries and top builders in the industry to expand Bitcoin beyond digital gold. More importantly, weโre launching @CitreaOrigins, a one-of-a-kind incubator to accelerate hyperbitcoinization. ๐งต๐ 1/7
Today, we announce our $14M Series A led by @foundersfund, joined by @maven11capital, @mirana, @erikvoorhees, @balajis, @bitfish1, @0xMert_ & more. This will help us expand Bitcoin from digital gold to an active, programmable asset, with @CitreaOrigins driving this expansion ๐งต

it was a mistake just trying to pass 'crypto legislation' ultimately people are profoundly frustrated with the securities laws & trying to just bypass them through crypto we should reform securities laws across the board and crypto legislation can't be truly satisfying without

Felt ripped off at a touristy place today. Then I reminded myself that I โlostโ way more than that in crypto today. Now I feel even worse lol

Any dying eco that slaps fake dual staking onto its architecture just helps whales, who hedge their bets and dump yield while retail suffers. It adds zero real liquidity to the ecosystem, just another excuse for "institutional adoption". Build something worth using or leave..

Bullish on builders in ๐ฒ๐พ! This was probably one of the best dev events Iโve attended. It was a casual gathering, but filled with so many great builders and community activators in the space. Thanks for having me!
Yesterday, Citrea Co-Creator & CEO @0x_orkun joined the October @ETHKL1 Meetup at Asia Pacific University in Kuala Lumpur! He presented "Pushing the Limits of Bitcoin: ZK Rollups, Today," covering what ZK Rollups are, how they work on Bitcoin, and what we're building at Citrea.

If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable. If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique. If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic. If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else. Itโs drowning โyouโ out.

Bitcoin just hit a new ATH at $126K, and everyoneโs debating where it goes next โ $130K or back below $120K. Old prediction markets still use fixed buckets ($120Kโ$121K, $121Kโ$122Kโฆ) that fragment liquidity and waste capital. Signals uses a Continuous LMSR (CLMSR) to fix that.

CT often argues that founders shouldnโt take advice from VCs or that VCs shouldnโt tell founders what to do, but I disagree. Galaxyโs platform team has been through 90% of the challenges weโve faced. I never hesitate to ask for their help, and theyโre always there. Any founder

For the record, it was @KASTcard (cc @raagulanpathy @zacglov3r), support is working on it, but itโs been quite slow. And @payy_link (cc @sidgandhi_xyz), I havenโt reported the issue yet, but it kept declining due to โlow balanceโ even though I had enough funds.

Used to shill crypto cards to friends a lot. Today, both of the ones I actually used stopped working while abroad. One due to issuer issues, the other from some weird balance bug. Guess weโre still early. Still a long way to go, especially on the support side.

Our paths crossed with Lighter ~3 years ago. Back then, while we were working on privacy, they had this wild idea: putting the entire matching logic inside a ZK circuit, when everyone thought zk was too inefficient. Fast forward, they built it. I never fade builders. Good luck!
The Lighter public mainnet is live after 8 months of private beta! Trade perpetuals with low costs and low latency on Ethereum L2 with custom ZK circuits for verifiable matching and liquidations. Experience onchain trading at the performance grade of high frequency finance.
