@danielrpopper Hey @danielrpopper loved the article. But I think he first crossed paths with Minter at Indiana State in 2011 when CO was a freshman WR/QB and Minter was the D coordinator there.

Miss you so much.

Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do. I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all. Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints. There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come. Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son. A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears. Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet. Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective: “When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.” I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape. But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9). With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices, Ben — and the Sasses

@pasternak Ben you need at least one runner. Your best chance is #startup.

This. Chasing every flash of the pan is the surest way to send your port to zero. You want to concentrate on one that will take you to the top. The product is the market cap. #startup

I don't really care about some other meta attracting liquidity for the day and STARTUP price taking a step back. As long as there is a community there is a chance, and we will outlast them all. After all, the product is the marketcap.

Don’t invest in plays others tell you to. Not even me. If you really want to — your task is to find out what their holding patterns like — if they intend to push it for a week, or months, or even years. Pick those that stay. Not those that exit.

@juhnns lol I'll give you that but let's give it some time

Yes, PA hasn't been ideal, but I will say this: As long as you have a community you have a chance. #startup

@StevenIHaglund Roster bonus is due on the 20th nytimes.com/athletic/61996… Ravens’ start to free agency has been typical, but their toughest decisions remain

@tylerjschoon Roster bonus is due 20th, not Monday

@0xSleuth_ Pure meme coins have lesser hoops to jump thru, thus the listings are faster. I think #VIRTUAL listing is coming tho.

Introducing Aiccelerate DAO: Accelerating Crypto x Agentic AI. aiccelerate.org Read on to find out how to become a partner. We are an Investment & Development DAO with members from the top open source AI teams, Coinbase, Google, and major funds. We believe crypto AI is at an inflection point. Our mission is to accelerate the development of decentralized, open source AI and support high potential projects across every ecosystem. We consider agentic AI to be one of the most important technological shifts for crypto. Furthermore, we will house a community of leading developers (multi-framework aligned) that will build an array of agents & tools that will push towards our goal. @AiccelerateDAO and all its initiatives will unite under a single token: $AICC. Our founding partners include @markus9x, @cryptopunk7213, @ropirito Our esteemed advisors were selected with four major categories in mind: Development, Investment, Research and Outreach. Development Advisors Shaw, Ai16z @shawmakesmagic Ethermage, Virtuals Protocol @ethermage Cygaar, Abstract @0xCygaar Tachi, ARC @0thTachi Jin, Ai16z @dankvr Karan, Open Source AI @karan4d Nader, Eigenlayer @dabit3 Jason, Story Protocol @jasonzhao Investment Advisors Andrew Kang, Mechanism Capital @Rewkang Casey Caruso, Topology Ventures @caseykcaruso Anil Lulla, Delphi Digital @anildelphi Marc Weinstein, Mechanism Capital - @WarcMeinstein Tommy Shaughnessy, @Shaughnessy119 Justin Lee, Coinbase Ventures @shiny_shiba_ Research Advisors Sammy, Moca Network @0xsammy Jeff, Steak Studio @0xjeff Kel, Independent Researcher @kelxyz_ Baoskee, Daosfun @baoskee Skely, Ai16z @123skely Outreach Advisors David Hoffman, Bankless @TrustlessState Ryan Sean Adams, Bankless @RyanSAdams Threadguy, Probably Nothing @notthreadguy Background There are liquid markets that current venture capital firms are unable to tap into. Several legitimate teams are choosing fair launch models such as Pumpfun, Daosfun, and others. It has become impossible to chase every project across multiple chains. We will leverage our extensive network, product & investment experience to become the home for the leading builders and investors of tomorrow. We plan to abstract away the hard work for the best teams by providing funding and access to networking, while building alongside them. All DAO partners will receive benefits in the form of future potential airdrops and access to investment opportunities. In addition to this, as our AUM grows, we will use a percentage of our profits to buy back our token, $AICC enabling @AccelerateDAO to become the multi-ecosystem Crypto x AI index. We aim to become both an investment & development DAO by fusing elements of both a human and agentic component. We plan to ship an array of agents that will elevate the sector. Our first project is a public utility research agent that can help us, and the overall market make better judgement calls. If you are interested in becoming a partner and participating in our presale round on @daosdotfun, please retweet, like and comment below to tell us why you would be a good fit, and how you would like to help. Starting at 7PM EST Jan 9th and for 24 hours, we will begin considerations for our partners. We look forward to hearing from you. 🙏

@aicceleratedao I'm a NY-licensed crypto attorney based in Seoul, advising crypto projects on regulatory developments across the U.S. and Asia since 2020. Recently connected with @markus9x at the ai16z Seoul meetup, even answering some of his questions via DM. Would love to join the DAO.

@Sophie121851641 Hello and welcome!

@Sophie121851641 umm, nobody?

@GateioLive The market is changing as we speak. How do you think it will impact perp dex in general, and what are you planning to adapt and take advantage of the changes?
