Until we build up a smooth decentralized protocol for it, we need Apple and Google to authenticate each call and text - Use biometrics to authenticate the user to the hardware device - Receiving device sees a ✅ showing call from Dad is actually from Dad’s phone

More supply means bigger money pie. Bigger pie, but your slice is the same size. Get it? US annual tax revenue = $5T They just printed ~25% of annual tax revenue. At 2am. After 10 hours of debate. Death by 1.2T paper cuts
$1.2 Trillion spending bill. Over 1,000 pages. Released at 2AM today. Just got approved now, 10 hours after. No one could possibly read it. They threw in everything but the kitchen sink. Ladies & Gentlemen— This is democracy. What’s the point of taxes if we can print trillions?

W posters in a nutshell
A story in three parts. The lessons: 1) Real estate twitter is the worst. 2) 6 years in and you’re netting $30k total on the side for all that hard work and hustle. Hard, hard pass.
