To be very clear about this. 1) Milei was not directly involved, was likely a member of admin. 2) The team behind this is obviously @KelsierVentures, who are now holding $100M hostage. The bad guys are Kelsier and all the other people that pushed this project, and whoever enabled.

Not until I started fundraising did I realize the ICO is an incredible invention and the fact it is largely illegal is absolutely tragic.

There is an ongoing rumor circulating that someone within the Argentine government plans to launch an "official" memecoin for Milei. According to people within the government and people close to the government, this is entirely false. There is no official Argentine memecoin.

Community Update:. In an isolated incident this morning, an email thread involving one investor’s transfer of tokens into custody was compromised by a malicious attacker. As a result, 1,673,645 EIGEN tokens were erroneously transferred to the attacker’s address. The attacker.

Super happy to announce @StreamDefi will be managed by @0xlawlol, a well known yield farmer and personal friend. The original team will remain involved providing technical support during the transition, while Law does what he does best; yield.
I am proud to announce I will be heading @streamdefi as the new CEO. The average retail user does not have the time, knowledge, or access to properly deploy their funds across defi to optimally generate returns on their USDC/ETH/BTC. This market is massively inefficient, can be.

People in crypto are really bad at managing capital. Here's a long form about capital coordination, and how the projects that have mastered it (@pendle_fi, @Uniswap, @MorphoLabs, @aave, and others) have been able to pull away and become dominant. First, a story. During the

This is an atrocious response. Does not address the sale of tokens. Does not address pulling of liquidity. Does not address the insiders involved . Zero accountability, just a fearful defensive response.

Super happy to be joining the Thiel Fellowship Class of '24!. Thank you to our early backers who helped us push @StreamDefi out and build it from an idea into a cracked team. I look forward to building out DeFi products that can outcompete CeFi and bring mass adoption!

Very cool to see @Theo_Network using @StreamDefi's smart contract standard. We used an open source license for precisely this reason, and are happy to see others building off of it.
We’re excited to announce our $20m raise, led by @Hack_VC and Anthos Capital with participation from @ManifoldTrading, @mirana, @metalayervc, SCB, @ambergroup_io, @SeliniCapital, @MEXC_Official, and @flowdesk_co to democratize access to institutional-grade trading infrastructure.

We've fucking lost it. Nobody in their right mind wants over 50 rollups and endless layers that take days to bridge back. What the world wants is one goddamn chain that just works, and that should be Ethereum. No one with a shred of sanity wants to switch networks in M***Mask. No.

Life is defined by small moments that lead to big outcomes. If I hadn't met one guy I probably would not have gotten into RFV. If I hadn't been at Amber I might have taken a totally different direction. If I hadn't met one guy, the company would not exist. Search for small.

To be v clear re this: this is not pay to play. The only way to get on the list is if there is space and I think it makes sense given the rest of the group that is going, v imprecise and arbitrary but has been best system. You cannot buy a spot, you cannot sponsor to get a spot.

Will be speaking at the Nebular Summit re Clearing Houses in DeFi, and how Stream will enable platforms to become more liquid and more interoperable, while also making the entire process and plumbing more streamlined

Pretty Insane how @0xlawlol has grown Stream from Sub $10M TVL a few months ago to $40m (and likely soon $60m+) . All liquid, no incentives.

I am organizing a relatively small trip (~20 people) in Argentina and am relatively surprised at how much more difficult the larger groups are to do activities with in Patagonia; Buenos Aires and Uruguay are totally fine but Patagonian places seem to cap out at 15-20.

Very happy to be supporting the Neutrl guys, think these kinds of yield trades (while relatively risky) should be more accessible, and if any team can do it well it is these guys.

@cryptokuroro @paradigm @friendtech @conduitxyz A couple misses, even if high profile, do not define funds. Funds should also not really define or control the companies they invest in, that is what founders are meant to do (within certain controls). Paradigm did FT. Polychain did Terra. Ribbit did FTX. A16Z did Yuga at peak.

My co-founder used @deel for making a new O1 application (he was switching companies to work w us so had to redo). They took NINE MONTHS to get the work done. On top of that, Deel hardly changed anything, failed to mention fundraising, failed to mention the new company in.
Rippling sued @Deel today. Our lawsuit alleges Deel cultivated a spy at Rippling & orchestrated a long-running trade-secret theft. The spy searched “deel” in our systems 23 times per day on avg, letting him spy on Deel’s own customers who were considering a switch to Rippling.

@kaledora I disagree w a few things. 1) I think it is impossible to manage pricing at protocol level, this is inherently not free market / efficient market. 2) Synthetics still have reference prices and pricing is determined but one entity. 3) Orderbook fragmentation makes sense in the.

FTX killed people. It killed their livelihoods, it drove some to the edge, it destroyed entire businesses and depressed an entire industry. LTCM nearly did the same in TradFi. This shows how DeFi is not just "cool", it is necessary. So why hasn't it been adopted? 🧵

In talking with family offices and large investors, the constant question when they were using @StreamDefi for BTC (wBTC) yield was how they could use us without facing a major tax liability. We created a legal structure in order to manage positions as debt, but this is costly.
