The next several years will be about making digital finance platforms global (stablecoins) and intelligent (AI). Brex has been a pioneer at every step... great to see them continuing to show the way:

Everyone’s talking about ByBit. By now, we all know what happened… but how COULD this have happened? Here’s my POV as someone who conducted offensive cybersecurity operations for over 6 years 🧵

RBG wrote this note to my Mom when my Dad died (also a lifelong feminist):"When the time to mourn has passed, you must carry on with your work" This current threat to basic rights is nauseating and it's time to work. (I'm starting w beefing up monthly gift to Planned Parenthood)

1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.

Bitcoin like digital gold cannot be devalued & it’s decentralization promotes transnational exchange & provides a check against economic mismanagement. Lets nurture it but protect consumers, prevent abuse, & invest in less carbon intensive mining. That should happen in America.
An excellent and inspiring introduction to, and reminder of, #Bitcoin's value to the world, all through a comprehensive and historical lens on money.
