Since we’re doing this. Hey founders if you’re doing something cool in .- US fintech .- Emerging Markets fintech .- Commerce enablement .take my nano checks and I’ll hustle for you 👋🏻 . *75% of my angel portfolio was founded by at least one POC or female founder.
Mocking young operators who are writing sub-$25k angel checks doesn’t make you look as cool as you think it does.

DCG is back, baby. @getmasafi is proud to be a DCG Decentralized AI portfolio company & Bittensor $TAO subnet. @BarrySilbert is the Elon Musk of crypto. The ultimate smart money to follow.

allow me to say it one more time, @BarrySilbert is the elon musk of crypto. he is the ultimate smart money to follow. when barry set up a new subsidiary @YumaGroup focusing on $TAO, you can imagine what happens next.
#Bittensor $TAO . @YumaGroup.@BarrySilbert.@DCGco. Imagine this: Yuma onboarding 40+ new subnets, and major DCG companies brainstorming ways to integrate Bittensor. This isn’t just another crypto project . This is $TAO shaping the future of decentralized intelligence 🧠

Had a refreshing chat with @calanthiaaa and @BrendanPlayford from @getmasafi discussed the subnet experience on Bittensor. We agreed that Bittensor will have its own big moment ahead and it feels like Ethereum in 2016/2017. It’s never too late to become part of $TAO family.

As we gear up for the election, regardless of the outcome, one winner is clear--the crypto industry. Today, in the United States, crypto is still contrarian, but it is contrarian right. Due to reasons both regulatory and perceptual in the wake of FTX, crypto is arguably the most.
