Years ago I pitched a German VC. During my presentation, 3 white men in suits kept insulting me with stereotypes about Spanish laziness disguised as jokes.
I left the room feeling humiliated, with my team's achievements ignored.

later closed a great Series A & B.

An 32 ETH Ethereum validator is now $75k and yields ~$3k/year (up from $50k and $1.5k/year before)
If you're in, congrats on the gains!
If you're priced out, keep an eye on
@divastaking
which will soon lower the barrier to run a node to 1 ETH :)

Got ETH or stETH? Here's a dead simple way you can help revert the centralization of Ethereum and get DIVA tokens:
1. Go to
2. Deposit ETH or stETH
3. Sit back and relax :)
All ETH gets staked into Diva once it launches, you get DIVA allocations 💯 👇

So where to start? Here are some ideas:
1) VCs, stop hiring people like you. Bring diversity to your DECISION MAKERS and INVESTMENTS, not just to your office mgr, website and deck.
Stop the cycle and choose someone non-white, LGBQT+, etc as your next partner / decision maker

One cool thing about being the CEO in a mid-sized startup is the constant learning you get outside your core field of competence.
Interviewing and working with smarter-than-you specialists gives you expertise from the trenches. No blog post, course or book can offer that.

When done properly, inclusion & diversity make for a rich ecosystem with stronger ideas, better skills and execution.. which ultimately translates into % performance and that "better world" you keep talking about.

Good thread on the risk thresholds of centralization.

@sobylife
Lido is good, but Lido at 33% is bad
They could stop the network from finalizing & that's a bad look for Ethereum
Bitcoiners have said forever that ETH is centralized, at 33% they have a point
At 66% they can reverse txs
Where do we draw the line?
33% is where IMO.

The equilibrium doesn’t have to be winner-takesaall like they want us to believe. Look at stablecoins, look at AMMs. That’s why they’re pushing so hard for irreversible dominance.

A large validator queue is a centralizing force for stETH. Why?
If Lido receives +100k ETH ($150m) new deposits, its yield comes from 99% staked ETH + 1% ETH waiting.
But for a smaller LST with 100k ETH TVL, the yield can drop to half for weeks, severely handicapping growth!
@dapplion
One caveat to note about future churn limit increases and projections on validator set size growth is the fact that the Ethereum entry queue has been steadily *decreasing* since its peak on June 10.

Water contained by food allows bacteria to grow. Sugar, salt, acids and dehydration help. So pick two:
- Tasty and healthy? Can’t be stored
- Packaged and healthy? Too dry (“tastes like cardboard”)
- Packaged and tasty? Expect tons of sugar and salt
So eat fresh ;)

2) Founders, stop putting up with this and call out being discriminated against behind closed doors.
I wish I had shared this sooner, but even I had convinced myself that it was just innocent misguided humor. It wasn't, it was racism and discrimination, and that's never ok.

I realize that a lot of us are in a position of incredible privilege – but that doesn't mean that we can't call for positive change.
In fact, it is BECAUSE of that privilege that we should be standing up to others, and redistributing the opportunity we've been given with others.
