- Morning brew has millions of daily readers If this gets 500 likes then they'll launch a crypto-focused newsletter They are among the best at breaking down complex topics in business/technology. This would have a material impact on expanding crypto's reach
Replying to @austin_riefYou've been tweeting a lot about crypto How about you give the people what they want and launch Crypto Brew - all my conversations with gen z mafia are like them: i didn’t really know what burnout was until 5 years ago when my first company hit 20 employees and i… me: wait 5 years ago weren’t you 14?? them: yeah, so like i was saying i had to fire my COO…
- I’ve been in SF for 24 hours and have already heard rumors of founders using ghostwriters for their tweets
- I’m excited to share that @llama has raised $6m in funding from @foundersfund, @ElectricCapital, @eladgil + others to bring an enterprise-grade UX to smart contract access management x.com/llama/status/1…

- I’m a Miami realist. It’s going to be very difficult to continue the momentum into the summer That being said, two of the most pro-SF people I know are now fully committed to moving here after a one week visit 😲
- let's make a dao that repeatedly psyops ken into buying dumb shit until he's broke
- Warren is brutally subtweeting all those founders who spend too much time on slide deck design
- Replying to @AustinGreenMaybe understanding the importance of twitter but being too busy to tweet is actually the optimal state
