Not until I started fundraising did I realize the ICO is an incredible invention and the fact it is largely illegal is absolutely tragic.

Super happy to announce @StreamDefi will be managed by @0xlawlol, a well known yield farmer and personal friend. The original team will remain involved providing technical support during the transition, while Law does what he does best; yield.
I am proud to announce I will be heading @streamdefi as the new CEO. The average retail user does not have the time, knowledge, or access to properly deploy their funds across defi to optimally generate returns on their USDC/ETH/BTC. This market is massively inefficient, can be.

People in crypto are really bad at managing capital. Here's a long form about capital coordination, and how the projects that have mastered it (@pendle_fi, @Uniswap, @MorphoLabs, @aave, and others) have been able to pull away and become dominant. First, a story. During the

Super happy to be joining the Thiel Fellowship Class of '24!. Thank you to our early backers who helped us push @StreamDefi out and build it from an idea into a cracked team. I look forward to building out DeFi products that can outcompete CeFi and bring mass adoption!

We've fucking lost it. Nobody in their right mind wants over 50 rollups and endless layers that take days to bridge back. What the world wants is one goddamn chain that just works, and that should be Ethereum. No one with a shred of sanity wants to switch networks in M***Mask. No.

Get yourself a friend like @DiogenesCasares . While we're on a call he notices from my voice that I'm getting sick. Orders me a chicken noodle soup from Katz which arrives before we even finish the call.

Life is defined by small moments that lead to big outcomes. If I hadn't met one guy I probably would not have gotten into RFV. If I hadn't been at Amber I might have taken a totally different direction. If I hadn't met one guy, the company would not exist. Search for small.

To be v clear re this: this is not pay to play. The only way to get on the list is if there is space and I think it makes sense given the rest of the group that is going, v imprecise and arbitrary but has been best system. You cannot buy a spot, you cannot sponsor to get a spot.

I am organizing a relatively small trip (~20 people) in Argentina and am relatively surprised at how much more difficult the larger groups are to do activities with in Patagonia; Buenos Aires and Uruguay are totally fine but Patagonian places seem to cap out at 15-20.

@cryptokuroro @paradigm @friendtech @conduitxyz A couple misses, even if high profile, do not define funds. Funds should also not really define or control the companies they invest in, that is what founders are meant to do (within certain controls). Paradigm did FT. Polychain did Terra. Ribbit did FTX. A16Z did Yuga at peak.

FTX killed people. It killed their livelihoods, it drove some to the edge, it destroyed entire businesses and depressed an entire industry. LTCM nearly did the same in TradFi. This shows how DeFi is not just "cool", it is necessary. So why hasn't it been adopted? 🧵

In talking with family offices and large investors, the constant question when they were using @StreamDefi for BTC (wBTC) yield was how they could use us without facing a major tax liability. We created a legal structure in order to manage positions as debt, but this is costly.

If you invested in Argentina last year, you outperformed BTC. Argentina is on a resurgence, many people have been asking how to invest in the country. However, most have no historical or political context. I wrote a short article to provide it.

Most people making RWA protocols seem to not really understand what the value add is. Inherently adding liquid (bonds, stocks, etc) assets onto a non-native medium is more costly and less competitive. RWAs are an access and a liquidity play. Make illiquid stuff liquid and let.

$HYPE's launch has been incredible, and with it there has been a lot of comparisons drawn and talk about what the "right" way to launch a token is. In this article, I review the two best DeFi token drops in the last year, and what actually makes them more similar than they seem.
