The biggest risk right now isn't moving too fast.
It's standing still.
Complexity used to be a moat.
Now it’s just a prompt away. #AIInnovation
If you remember Appz and Progz, you’re watching history repeat.
AI is enabling a wave of 1-person, AI-built micro tools.
- Not venture-backed platforms.
- Not 50-person dev teams.
- Just domain expertise + judgment + AI execution.

Meetings used to end when the call ended.
Now, if there’s no summary, the work feels stuck.

Senators Warren and Marshall now lobbying for big banks 🙃
Being anti-crypto is a really bad political strategy going into 2024
* 52m Americans have used crypto
* 38% of young people say crypto can increase economic opportunities
* just 9% of Americans satisfied with the current financial system
* crypto prices up 90% YTD
* standwithcrypto.org on it's way to 1M advocates (voters) who want sensible crypto policies
Who could be so brazen as to write legislation that would effectively ban #crypto?
Senator @RogerMarshallMD, the GOP frontman of the crypto ban bill, revealed the American Bankers Association wrote it. #StopCryptoBan
