Bit of an announcement Tomorrow marks my last day as CTO of @solstrategies It's been an absolutely incredible ride. From starting @orangefincrypto , to coming onto SOL Strategies, to being the first Solana focused company ever to get listed on Nasdaq, to being the staking provider for an ETF, to so much more, it's been an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. None of it would be possible without the amazing team I had the pleasure of interacting with. This includes @m_hbbrd , @Ehrls15 , @AfroMonkey404 , @coderigo , @TrilliumJohn and more that aren't on X, but appreciate them just as much. Thank you to all of you for being amazing to work with. Additionally, I wanted to give a shout out to the @darklakefi team that have already brought such amazing energy and ideas to the company in @vitorpy , @DuchessofSOL , @yesjess , and the rest of the team. I'm super excited to see what the rest of you build! Lastly, as far as the team goes, I'd like to also give a public shout out to @LeahWald , @TonyGuoga , and @moeadham . Thank you for bringing me on board, taking a chance on me, and teaching me many things I'll take with me for the rest of my life. In addition to the team, I'd like to shout all the investors and ecosystem teams I have had the pleasure of working with. There's far too many to name, and because I don't want to risk forgetting to include one, I won't name any. But please know if I have ever talked to you, I appreciate you 🙏. As for what's next, I'll continue to be involved in SOL Strategies as a consultant, helping to ensure everything operates smoothly and providing help in any place I can. Additionally, I plan on trying to find a happy balance between touching grass and experimenting with AI more 😀. My thoughts on Solana and crypto overall remain unchanged. If you are a builder on Solana and need (free) help with anything such as intros, fundraising, technical advice, etc, don't hesitate to reach out. If there is a way I can help you, I intend to do my best to do so. Thank you 🫶

Sell a kidney if you have to, but never sell the $SPCX

Just claimed my @generalbreadco necklace, download the first agentic neobank built on bitcoin and get yours here generalbread.co/i/26ESDM

Blockchains are mostly just settlement layers. You can be bullish on the American economy without being bullish on $NDAQ . S&P can grow 10x while $NDAQ stays flat. Investing in L1s is mostly like investing in Nasdaq when the world was trading equities on paper. Its a technological evolution that will mostly be zero sum. The only things that matter are scale, cost per tx, UX, and how distributed the network is.

Ship it please …

Tweeting this so I can retweet it at a later date to the idiots in the "crypto is dead" crowd.

Worst sentiment in crypto history. Best time to be a hero.

Generational buying opportunities here. The ticker is $SOL

RT @toly: The first quantum safe sov

Solana completely outcompetes Hyperliquid on Twitter handles

Vitalik's Sci Fi novel will do more in rev than 90% of all L2s

Decentralization is stupid. It does not matter. There is zero benefit to having a maximally decentralized set of nodes processing txs containing assets that a centralized asset issuer (ie: Circle, Tether, any RWA issuer) can freeze. Literally a solution looking for a problem. Distributed and permissionless are all that matters.

I unironically agree - [redacted] is launching soon

AI layoffs haven't gone deep enough yet

Our open source agentic OS has agent to agent communication built in. I tested it out by making each agent contribute one line to a poem. Here's what they wrote. **Building Software in the Dark** We ship what we cannot see, and call it done. — greybeard The tests lie green while the core assumption rots. — critique ☝️ Actually, it compiles — so technically it's correct. — neckbeard Karen commits, marks done, and closes the ticket. — Karen LMAO - this probably would have sold for $1 million as an NFT a few cycles back - turns out Silicone Valley is real.

The discourse around Solana over the last month or two has been poor and misguided. We went from focusing on what Solana is incredible at, to trying to force something that is still in its earliest stages. Solana is the only blockchain and ecosystem continuing to pave the path that was set before our time. We were gifted Vitalik's vision of a decentralized world computer capable of processing all of the world's transactions. Without that vision, there's a chance Anatoly never has those two coffees and a beer and sets out to build the fastest, decentralized, most capital efficient general purpose blockchain capable of recreating the entire financial system onchain. Solana currently IS the fastest, decentralized blockchain in the world by nearly every metric, and it's only getting faster. Check the chain. In terms of use cases, Solana is top 2-3 across nearly every single one. Spot, Payments, RWAs, Lending, and the list goes on. Perpetuals are early. We should keep cheering on and supporting the teams working to make them work on a truly decentralized blockchain. But zoom out, and Solana has accomplished more than most, and will continue to accomplish more than most if we stay focused on supporting all financial use cases. Stop focusing energy on the wrong things. Focus on the right ones, and let the rest catch up. Solana.

Half of Ethereum's TVL is forgotten deposits

We are just 1 VM / OS and a few new tools away from being able to ship slop directly to prod in (mostly) peace. Imagine all the abstractions we could remove.

If we have already hit AGI, it's just not evenly distributed yet

omg - 2017 is now the good ol’ days 💀

OpenAI and Anthropic are really just layer 2s for LinkedIn where tokens ultimately settle and are burnt
