17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down. @SenateDems could learn something from that.

You may not believe me, but the people who will be running the global economy soon were hanging out on /b/ in the 2005-2010 era. My intuition is that this is (somehow) a good thing for the world.

LIVE FROM 🇸🇦: our special correspondent @madfes on the Saudi-US announcements today "The most interesting thing from today is that sanctions on Syria have finally been lifted." "American companies haven't been able to serve customers in Syria after the civil war in 2011." "The country has 23M people and a double-digit inflation for the past decade, which means they are a prime market for stablecoin adoption." "If anybody is using the Syrian pound in 5 years, instead of US dollars on blockchains, we've massively screwed up as an industry."

From DC: we asked @madfes if crypto is coming back "Founders are coming back. @paoloardoino (CEO of @tether) didn't want to come to the U.S a few years ago." "Companies aren't nervous to sponsor crypto conferences anymore." "The next stage is offices and HQs opening up."

Today, Roam announces our $11.5M Series A led by @rabois and @khoslaventures with @foundersfund to fix the broken housing market and help 75 million Americans afford a home. We're hiring to accelerate our mission to make homeownership 2x more affordable. Here's how we do it 🧵

I’m hiring an investor. You’ll be the first hire working with me on the most interesting, complex and asymmetric special situations in tech. You’ll be a good fit if you: - trade annual letters like Pokémon - are high pace and biased to action - are unapologetically money motivated - have created and sold a product - ideological minority at a top 10 school - debated risking it all with an SBA loan - bought a stock before you could drive - work in PE but long for higher MOIC - work in VC but long for higher ROIC - went through YC but yearn to invest - can get a meeting w/ anyone on earth - made money online in high school - value heterodoxy over consensus - value making money over being right Steve Schwarzman defines eights as those who can follow marching orders, nines as those who can execute and strategize and tens as those can sense problems, design solutions, explore new directions and make it rain. Eights and nines need not apply. This role will have an equal focus on sourcing, analysis, execution and operations. In essence, you’ll wear every hat as we build the firm together. It will be all encompassing and demanding, but autonomous and yours to shape. You’ll invest and transact with the best operators and financiers in the world and produce work at an exceptionally high standard. Experience acquiring technology companies, as well as operating them is highly prioritized but not strictly required. This role is open to all levels of seniority and will be made bespoke for the right person. In person in NYC only. email me: jeremy@octavecap.com

Today, we are officially announcing TBPN. We are more than a podcast now. - 5 days a week, 3 hours per day - Streamed live on 𝕏 - Multiple guest call-ins per show - Presented by @tryramp Here’s a vibe reel.

Jacked physique and technical? Unstoppable.

We've let all the law firms we work with know, that if they hire anyone who committed these bad deeds in the (soon to be) prior administration, we will no longer be a client of theirs. Senior partners at these law firms seem unaware of the crypto industry's position on this. For instance, Milbank recently messed up and hired Gurbir. We don't work with them now (and never will while he works there). It's an ethics violation in my book to try and unlawfully kill an industry while refusing to publish clear rules. If you were senior there, you cannot say you were just following orders. They had the option to leave the SEC and many good people did. It was not a normal SEC tenure. They can go work in other areas (I don't believe in permanently cancelling people), but we as an industry should not be putting money in their pocket after the abuse. Let your law firms know that hiring these folks means losing you as a client.

I’m extremely honored to be nominated by @realDonaldTrump and excited to support @RobertKennedyJr and the great people of @HHSGov to make America healthy again.
