This is a fascinating read in many different levels: business history, tech strategy, leadership etc. But at the core of it sits an argument that many people tend to forget: why do we even work in Crypto?. As I have written in the past, one of the most well kept secrets in Crypto.
1/ @Stripe just pulled back the curtain on @tempo, its corporate blockchain, and the pitch is a classic. You get an all-star team, state-of-the-art tech, an impressive roster of partners—including one of the card networks the whole thing is designed to replace—and "neutrality."

This is one of the biggest socioeconomic changes taking place in real-time that nobody is talking about. It started with late millennials becoming full time Influencers and is now evolving into Gen Zers being a kind of hyperfinancialized digital personas blending.
Today's Big Take: The New American Hustle: Dividends Over Day Jobs. What was the stodgiest corner of investing has become the new hot thing with Gen Zers and beyond, hellbent on quitting and retiring early. With @VildanaHajric and @nathanielpopper .

The modern national fiscal system/stack is:. > local digital payments network for instant settlement.> local currency stable and retail banking tokenized deposits .> some form of digital ID citizenship (ideally zk).> incentivize onchain lending/borrowing protocols for local

We live in the era of Glocalization. Most countries will develop their own local Stacks (or adopt one from a partner country) and the only trusted, global layer for open commerce will be Blockchains.
Classic deep state Washington thinking around tech is focused purely on *control* and *risk* and has a lack of understanding of technology/developer ecosystems work. As @DavidSacks says: for the American AI stack to win, we need to maximize marketshare. This means maximizing.

The idea of having LLMs coming to a consensus about **something** (from ocean temperatures to the quality of a tweet) is groundbreaking. Revolutionizing marketing is big enough (you can have really verifiable ad attribution models) but it's just scratching the surface. The big.

Last year, I was dreaming of posting 🇺🇸 government data onchain to bring higher transparency and (subsequently) trust between the People & Institutions. Fast forward to today, anyone can access/build on top of 🇺🇸 Department of Commerce economic data on @zksync. Reminder: We are
The U.S. Government is publishing economic data on-chain through @Chainlink. This is a major step toward bringing America onchain that would have been unthinkable just months ago. @ZKsync is proud to be in the initial cohort of participating blockchains, enabling developers to
