@diogomonica thinks the first true on-chain IPO is coming! Diogo predicts a tipping point in the next 12 months: the first real-world asset with utility value being fully integrated into DeFi - and maybe even the first on-chain IPO. Imagine a token issued on-chain, underwritten transparently, with no detour through legacy exchanges or banks. The tech is ready. The players are moving. If it happens, it’ll be a foundational shift in how we think about going public - and who gets to participate. Podcast out this week! @HaunVentures @Anchorage @NEARProtocol

This Thursday, I'm releasing a 100-minute conversation with @diogomonica, General Partner at @HaunVentures, President at @NEARProtocol, and co-founder of @Anchorage Digital. Diogo Mónica is a powerhouse at the cutting edge of crypto and fintech. He’s investing in the next wave of blockchain innovation and serves as the Executive Chairman of Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S. Additionally, he chairs the NEAR Foundation, shaping the future of the NEAR Protocol ecosystem. We talk about: - Balancing life with 2 young kids with a demanding job - Why he believes that in the next 12 months, we will see the first on-chain IPO - How DEFI will never work - unless founders have four-year cliffs and seven seven-year vesting periods - How anger can be a positive driving force when harnessed properly - Leaving Portugal to move to Silicon Valley - How discomfort leads to growth - Working with Jack Dorsey - How starting your own company accelerates knowledge building And much, much more... Out this Thursday!

Can’t wait for the stablecoin treasury play: raise dollars to put stablecoins on the balance sheet and trade on hype!

Breaking 🚨 | Extreme Poverty Drops 18.2% YoY to 7.4%, Driven by Real Wage Growth Outpacing Inflation for First Time Since 2020

ChatGPT's growth really is staggering. 800 million monthly users in under 3 years. Curiously, only 20 million (2.5%) are paying subscribers. I expect that to go up one order of magnitude over the next year.

Very hard to look at the graph YoY change in Tech Employment and not think about AI as causation for these obviously weak numbers.

The interesting thing about conversational ads on my GPT is that I already expect models to have a bias, same as asking my friends for recommendations on what stroller to buy. They'll swear by whatever decision they made, regardless of the facts.

Interactive Brokers should add a "Buy Now" right next to each stock ticker. It would be immensely popular. Alternatively, the button could be labeled "Take Over", or more aspirationally: "Become the CEO"
