It’s funny I hear more stories after I publicly called out
@neelsalami
.
No I’m not scared. I am angry.
@neelsalami
should be scared.
Listen,
Groping multiple girls without no consent is sexual assault
Putting your head on girl’s lap after the girl said no is sexual assault…
@neelsalami
Thank you everyone for the support and understanding. I wish it’s false but it’s all true story.
Yes we are here in crypto to make money and yes we could all be gamblers in this industry trying to become the next millionaire.
But no being a founder doesn’t mean you can take…
VC is about making prediction before the market starts trading the trade. Its not buying after the market validates the trend, which is, in general, called exit liquidity
Honored to be part of this great team to fund and support builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs!
Would love to talk to any founder with dreams and hopes. The bigger the better . DM always open!

Time for real product test now.
when I invest in
@ether_fi
, It was clear that
@MikeSilagadze
is the leader in LRT game.
And, more importantly, after over $200M in withdrawals Post TGE,
@ether_fi
is still the leader in LRT with no depeg issues at all.
A lot of projects need capital, but not necessarily venture capital.
Venture capital is looking for scalable project that can potentially return 100x on the initial capita. So before ask for venture capital, maybe ask why you can fuel that growth for 100x return.
Otherwise,…
3️⃣ Ethereum takes Web 3.0 a step further by creating a network computer or "world computer." It enables the creation of new assets like tokens and NFTs.
And I think we still have to see NFTfi and creator economy happen next with new types of assets in the form of NFT, or else
I am always looking for investment opportunities but I don't think there is investable opportunities. I'd rather wait than conning new word for the sake of investment
Hi Everyone!
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend
@PennBlockchain
's 2024 Conference where I focused particularly on the "Revival of Bitcoin" panel. I am excited to share some insights from the panel which I found noteworthy and that truly resonated with me, especially as…
Maybe, maybe we are actually seeing an ethereum killer.
If we use Bitcoin for settlement, with maximum security from its market cap, starknet for execution, enabled by its new Cairo VM, and Celestia for DA.
Hear me out
There is a tricky balance of thinking and doing.
Thinking too much, you stopped actually doing
Doing too much, you forgot where you are heading
So as I say, keep building, but stick your head out sometimes
BRC20 just, once again, proved that when you created a new type of asset that is easy to trade, like we saw in PFP NFT, everyone will trade.
Call it speculation or trade, it creates a new type of asset and a new market.
Future of FHE?
1.High Computation Overload from addition and multipication
2.Large Data: from ciphertext
3.Key Management for every Encryption
4.Noise grows along the way
@secparam
The best talk I’ve had in devcon so far!
Interesting, fun, and above all thought-provoking!
It’s just honestly refreshing to see an expert in ZK talks more that just scaling. But privacy, and for the first time, credibility
Why long on Bitcoin?
1.Halving changes the dynamic of the game
2.Ordinal and Brc-20 made wealth effect on Bitcoin
3. New infra is expected to accomodate demand
4.Macroeconomic backdrop is set up for the coming bull market
Longer version here
There is a lot of ways to make money, you can pick one or two maybe for yourself to make some money.
But, it’s also very important to know that there is some money you just shouldn’t make
Capital can't create the future. Capital choose the future created by founder. And, most of the time, capital choose the easiest one they can see like ZK or AI
Memecoins are easy to trade because people don't need to think about fundamentals or look into tech details. They can just trade and be like I won't be the last person to carry the bag.
But in a bear market like this, it can dry liquidity
📚 Just read an incredible paper on Web 3.0 by
@block_science
It offers a refreshing and intuitive perspective on the future of the internet. These are my key takeaways.
Real Bitcoin Defi is here!
Congratulations to
@taggaOyl
and
@OylDynamics
. It’s not just another wallet. It’s a vibe.
There is still so much alpha unknown and you need to follow them closely
Congratulations to the team!
This is only the beginning of the journey and we are so exited to be the early supporter of the team, who is here to change how Bitcoin is traded as an asset and used as a technology!
feel like this is an" everything everywhere all at once" moment for Ethereum.
We talked about privacy in 2020, rollup in 2021, smart contract wallet in 2022, and then we talk about rollup plus smart contract plus privacy in 2023
People always say they are onboarding new users and then they start to tell me what good tech they have.
I just want to say, there is a long way from good tech to good product. It’s always good mindset to have
Ultimately, we are investing in time.
Investing in a project which might create value in time
Trading an asset that could accrue value in time
Working on an projeact that can potentially become profitable in time
💊🕺Have you been Disco-pilled, anon?🕺💊
The future of identity is not NFTs.
Disco enables the self-sovereign metaverse with informed consent and privacy, like a personal data backpack that travels with you across web2 & web3.
For a taste of the future
There is a long way from a technology to product .
And, there is a difference researching on technology and building a product
Blockchain is a technology
ZKP is a technology
Cryptocurrency is a product
Wallet is a product
Good read! Ultimately the value proposition of crypto to AI is "a permissionless, trustless, and composable settlement layer.
Thus, bullish
1. Modularity like
@CelestiaOrg
2. Shares security like

3. Interoperability like

I just published my new report on Understanding the Intersection of Crypto and AI for
@galaxyhq
@glxyresearch
The report looks at three emerging verticals:
1) Decentralized Compute
2) Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (zkML)
3) AI Agents
@kevinroose
Man, This is the funniest truth I've heard this year so far."Put it this way: One of the least harmful things I can imagine a young, mostly male group of extremely online people doing in their spare time is trading pictures of cartoon penguins."
4️⃣ Web 3 and AI are deeply interconnected. Both rely on data, with Web 3.0 executing data and AI processing it. Imagine a future where all data is moved on-chain, shared, synced, and interacted with using AI/ML.
ZKML is happening
Rollup as a service is hot now. Yes I think there is demand for roll up solution given technical difficulties of bootstrapping a chain, but, I also think it’s a training wheel that’ll need to be taken off eventually if application grows and scales
Recently I started to tell founders what I actually think about their pitch, which turned out pretty well. Also, this is what I want to tell every single developer/builder.
Stay focus, you can lose the battle but win the war
@gakonst
It’s easy to judge when everything is established and easy to use but hard to build with new technology.
Always hearing complain about performance and efficiency of blockchain but, the point is, it’s a sacrifice for decentralization and, IMO, the technology is still in infancy
Why was there a trading mania of bitcoin in China?
A lot of people just started to catch up with what the frenzy of BRC 20 trading hype in China and there is a few clues to it
What if we have other types of NFTs?
Like NFT of real state, or Game asset NFT which do lower the barrier by allowing exposure on the underlying asset without necessarily participating or holding the asset.Thus creating market to speculate on new assets like game or real estate
Any successful token model for tooling? I mean DAO tools, payment tools, gaming developer tools? I don’t see the need of issuing or buying tokens when they can simply go with SAAS model.
Besides, the clients of tools are normally developers who are not very interested in trading
Founders care about solutions, but VC care about the problem, especially the problem that can print money.
The thing is there always can be better solutions and better engineers improving technology.
But problems means there are pain points people are willing to pay money to.…
One of the best but perhaps least well-known reasons that ETH is a generational investment opportunity (for those who put in the work to understand it) is that unlike a typical tradfi or crypto investment, uncertainty works for and not against the ETH holder. Let me explain...
We know just how eager you are to stay ahead of the curve on LSTs, LRTs, and the DeFi protocols scaling them.
So we created something special for everyone to stay up to date on the latest alpha 👨🔬

Oh, one more thing I learned about zk is that given all the complex circuits, constraints, and signals we put into our ZK VM or EVM, there's a high chance that things can go wrong. And it will, most probably, go wrong.
From the blog, it seems like coinbase is aiming to be opensea plus Instagram, adding social aspect on top of NFT trading. Wondering is anyone behind or collb. Facebook,Pinterest?
The interesting thing about the "unbacked asset" is that currency is also just a string of numbers in a credit system. Only that it's backed by government which can enforce itself with the use of violence machine like military or police.
“The crypto world is beginning to connect to the traditional financial system and we are seeing the emergence of leveraged players. And, crucially, this is happening in largely unregulated space“
What kind of infrastructure is needed for layer 3?
A modular execution environment?
A plug-in validity proof?
A DA layer?
A cross chain settlement layer?
One interesting argument is that OpenAI is against everything web3 stands for, which I agree. OpenAI is the single miner who is able to mine the data and produce the block, in a centralized, close, censored way.
I’m not saying EVM is not performing. It works great and this is why we have Defi summer or NFT summer. I’m just saying that to build a web3 that we are all promised then maybe we should look at what tools we have in hand.
Starknet says better here
Mobile apps will help web3 reach mainstream adoption
The internet became more social w/ mobile-native apps
What will mobile-native web3 experiences look like?
- Geolocated NFTs
- AR web3 games
- social web3 wallets
When I first talked to
@MikeSilagadze
, I knew this is the team we want to bet on, big time.The long-term mindset and the product-driven approach demonstrated by
@ether_fi
will drive more value in the most competitive and exciting time.
It's bull, let's have some fun!
