CEO Algorand Foundation. 5 years, 2bn+ transactions, and no downtime. I'm never being mean or racist, and I'm definitely not giving you investment advice.
Washington D.C.
Joined August 2013
Supercharged marketing @ #Algorand kicks off in a month- we've been hiring people, signing contracts, budgeting resources, and focusing our strategy @KeliCallaghan @stephenduignan doing great work on a shoestring till now. You'll know it when you see it @AlgoFoundation $ALGO #LFG.

The @AlgoFoundation has had a bunch of reachout from cool @Terra_money NFT projects and communities. Soo. we are now busy (busy!) creating a tool that makes it easy and seamless for #Terra_Luna projects to migrate/bridge/mint their #NFTs on #Algorand. Stay tuned! #LFG.

Crypto winters are hard, esp when driven by politics and war. Over here, the peaceful, nonpolitical @AlgoFoundation will continue to invest in our ecosystem, build out capacity, market aggressively, and drive critical partnerships in defi, tradfi, and impact. #builttolast #Peace.

You think you're mad about limewire? I've been talking about them around town as a great example of Web2 to Web3. We've reached out to them, believe me. Dialog is always best but as you can imagine, we are not pleased; and we'll reevaluate our partnership with them accordingly.

Wow am I excited to announce that @devanmoorthy has just joined the @AlgoFoundation as Head of Ecosystem Access. He will wake up every morning worried about whether the $ALGO and ASAs are listed on exchanges and in wallets etc. He comes from @Ripple. I'm sorry, @Ripple. #LFG.

My New Years resolution is to meet every (?!) founder in the #Algorand ecosystem. I'll set aside time each Friday for 30 minute zooms. I can't wait to get started! 👊👊#gettingschooled #builders #thisiswhatitsallabout.

#FIFA is great. Marketing is fun and really important. But #TVL is critical to the growth of this ecosystem. We have more and more #dApps, #ASAs and #NFTs coming on the #algorand #blockchain by boss #developers and #entrepreneurs every week. TVL my friends, TVL. Remember that.

@Algorand tech upgrades just keep coming. I mean, if we didn't already have the best tech, I wouldn't believe it was possible. Sooo. we at the @AlgoFoundation were thinking we might hire one of the world's leading PR firms to help us get the word out. Ok with you guys #algofam?.

Finally. I want to give huge props to team @AlgoFoundation for getting @circle #USDCa on @coinbase over the line. @devanmoorthy, our relentless but always diplomatic deal lead, @mintwt and @eric_ldn for senior sponsorship and strategic guidance, @HARPAL_SINGH3 our CFO, and of.

Grocery shopping IRL is one of the acid tests of #blockchain and #crypto for mass #adoption. Why? Because it's a demonstration (or not!) of performance, reliability, speed, and scale when it really matters, in real time. Like when you want your 🍊🍊🍊🍊 fresh. and fast.

Hi #Algofam, I am super excited to announce that we have hired Min Wei to run global ecosystem growth at @AlgoFoundation. She is an amazing human, crypto native, and has built (and sold) a business from scratch. She can drive partnerships like nobody.

Congratulations to @QuantozPay and to all involved in getting this deal over the line. These kinds of inroads into traditional financial services take time and diligence. It's not announcement hype; it's real use-case with real potential impact. The hard work isn't done, but we.

I am thrilled that Deirdre Halligan has joined the @AlgoFoundation as our new COO! She will drive us and the #algofam to a global scale. Word on the street is that @RevolutApp Sec and @coinbase Ireland scaled pretty well when she was COO there. :) #LFG.

Hi #Algofam, last week I wanted to give you assurance on our exposure to FTX early on – no investments, no custody etc - because everyone was (rightly!) nervous. But today we have also released an official statement. See here: .1/4.

So different this year than when I first started. Now there is NOT enough time to talk about all of our amazing companies and projects. And I was given two slots! But it was a great opportunity to introduce institutional capital to our technology and ecosystem. Ripple was the.

That this has been the worst week in #crypto is pretty obvious. We wake up to crazier and more deranged news each day. And I hesitate to write this because my heart goes out to people hurting right now. But this morning I also found myself comparing it to my actual week 1/.

Happy New Year #algofam! Tough times, but I'm so excited for 2023. AlgoKit! Marketing head starts (finally!), Governance 2.0, accelerator program, India, and this is just Q1, just a few things, and just at the @AlgoFoundation. Then all that you guys are doing. #bullish. 🙏🥳✈️.

Happy 🦃#Algofam! I'm thankful for so many things and for so many people, but I guess that in this time of market upswing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to those at the @AlgoFoundation that worked on the front lines with our community, through good times and bad, during.

#Algofam, I've been wanting to respond to your posts on FIFA, but this partnership was led by Algorand Inc. in Boston. This was a tech partnership and they build the tech! For their part, they needed to respect the confidentiality of sponsorship discussions. 1/.

@JohnAlanWoods hit his one year anniversary with the @AlgoFoundation yesterday! 🍾🍾 I'm a bit embarrassed to post this, given the highly questionable taste of his current PFP. (his wife is out of town, so standards are slipping). But how about a round of applause #algofam 👏 🥳.

@IOHK_Charles Charles, do you follow me on twitter now??!!🙏#Ihavehitthebigtime ?? :) Yea, overreacted -- just a little! lol. Guy was a troll and obviously I should have ignored him. Just when humans are involved I got a bit defensive :( While I have you here, will you speak at Decipher??? 🙏.

I'd never say the @AlgoFoundation twitter was boring. It's professional! Ok, it's professional and boring. You might be seeing a bit more spice and awe now tho, in keeping with the awesomeness of our #blockchain. It'll be spicey, professional, and awesome. #anotherbrickinthewall.

70,000 people at #WebSummit2024 talking AI, data integrity, real-time payments, fan engagement, new monetization strategies, self- sovereign identity at a global scale, and more. The question everyone's asking is: Can a blockchain really do all that? Also, they're thirsty.

On hodlnaut: yep, bad mistake. We wanted to tell y'all tho. It's about being transparent, even it it brings FUD. Wrong move, of course; hating ourselves, of course; blame is 100% on me, my decision, of course. But I gotta say, wow, I lost my crypto you-know-what on this one 1/5.

Hi all, I just wanted to say a bit more about AF grantmaking on the back of the report. I think the most important thing we've done with Algorand Ventures is put in a proper process, with transparent criteria, and better speed and communication. And investment = accountability.

Six months in and I just blocked my first person. I've muted several for rudeness or too many wild accusations or whatnot, but it takes a lot to get a block from me. But honestly, there comes a point, and life's too short :).

@EldarDRM @AlgoFoundation @Algorand Sigh. the Foundation has not restarted the structured selling program since being paused on 6 June, 2023. You can pretty easily tell this by checking against the designated wallets publicly communicated and published on the Foundation website. As you may recall as well, all.

One last thing. We'll be replacing the SBF fireside chat with a panel called "We Won't Get Fooled Again" with former SEC counsel and Steptoe partner Coy Garrison, @eric_ldn, and one or two, to focus on lessons learned and to help sharpen our collective radar. sigh.

Hi I wanted to share some stats from #decipher2022. We had 1793 people check in! (and the space only held 2000!); 145 (amazing) speakers, 148 women in the breakfast club; 9 algorand based games on display, and a vibe score of 10/10. :) Will post some social media/other stats too.

What I loved so much about The Queens Gambit was the very last scene, when she broke away and found the Russian men in the park -- the true lovers of the game, her people. #Algorand has and always will be about the love of the game. By and for the developers and users that.

Hi all, climbing through to-do list and inbox after Decipher (#Decipher!) and end of year budgets and 2023 planning. Long days but I am reading twitter and just wanted to drop a note that I really appreciate you guys; we all do. I haven't even tweeted about Decipher (Decipher!).

See now, here's the thing from my POV. Why would you even sit through hours of men running back and forth not scoring when you can just watch - AND OWN - only the best #FIFA #WorldCup bits on @FIFAPlusCollect, amirite? #efficiency #justanidea #amimissingsomething #nofanscolding.

This idea is very clever on the part of @EnelGroup I thought. For the first time (that I know of), your ability to offset your electricity usage is not tied to where you live. You can live in a high-rise and offset with partial ownership of a solar panel in a field someplace.
