"Alexa, ask @Westin to bring me some towels", then this guy shows up at my door. What a time to be alive.
Flew with my new Anova Precision Cooker in my carry-on luggage. Imagine what this looked like on the x-ray machine - TSA was not amused.
Why Understanding Startup History is a Competitive Advantage tomtunguz.com/technology-his…
It's not (just) that investors are lazy. An unclear pitch is a failed pitch, and failure at this task predicts failure in your startup.
Meh: The startup gold rush of the last ten years is over. Sorry. ow.ly/YRzcY
It's a lot more rewarding to bet against conventional minded people than to try to convince them.

Some day soon stablecoin issuers will become the largest holders of US treasuries. They will create a natural demand driver for govt debt - enabling US deficit spending - and putting dollars in the hands of people that traditionally can’t get access.

Just finished recording w/ @laurashin and can confirm this will be a spicy one 🌶️🌶️🌶️
🎙️ Interviewing Aaron Kaplan of @PrometheumInc and @RSSH273 of @paradigm tomorrow. What should I ask them? 👇🏻
Gensler’s SEC wants to brute force crypto into an ill-fitting disclosure framework In our latest piece, we show why this is a bad policy that fails to give crypto users and investors the info they need, or provide entrepreneurs w/ a viable path to comply policy.paradigm.xyz/writing/secs-p…
1\ The intensity with which the regulators are coming after crypto in the midst of a banking crisis is ironic — it fails to connect the dots between the banking crisis and the opportunity with public blockchains. A simple story of sovereign money and what we’re all building:
Gensler’s admonition that crypto projects should “just come in and register” to “come into compliance” is impossible to abide by. We wrote a 4 part series explaining why policy.paradigm.xyz/writing/secs-p…
Looking forward to the tweets from the VCs who sparked this bank run congratulating themselves on their prescience.
SVB doesn’t need a bailout. Unlike Bear or Lehman, they don’t have a solvency problem. Because of the run, they likely have a liquidity problem. The Fed (not “the government”) has the authority to provide liquidity to help in that situation.
The failure of @SVB_Financial could destroy an important long-term driver of the economy as VC-backed companies rely on SVB for loans and holding their operating cash. If private capital can’t provide a solution, a highly dilutive gov’t preferred bailout should be considered.
This is so highly triggering that after watching it once, I began shaking so hard that my front tooth came loose.
I was hit this morning. My injuries are permanent. I've lost part of my hand and have scarring on my face. We won the battle, though. And here was my message in the immediate aftermath.
Lately, a ton of plaintiffs' lawyers have crawled out of the woodwork looking to make a quick buck by suing crypto projects and founders. These are called "strike suits" — frivolous cases, often with sham plaintiffs, that would lose in court but are cheaper to settle than fight.
Job update: I’ve joined the brilliant team at @BainCapCrypto as Partner and Head of Marketing. Their commitment to hands-on support for the best builders in crypto and research-driven investment theses is unmatched.
