Today, Parafin officially joins @stripe! We started Parafin in 2020 to help small businesses get financing that traditional lenders often overlook. As part of Stripe, we can bring embedded financing to more platforms and the small businesses that use them. Thank you to our partners, the small businesses we serve, and our incredible team for helping us reach this milestone. More on the acquisition and what’s ahead: parafin.com/blog/parafin-is-…

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

Did I buy the Bitcoin bottom? No. Did I trade this breakout perfectly? No. But did I carefully buy enough spot Bitcoin in the last few months to allow me to relax and ride this trend without FOMO? Also no.

We want you to build in the open: BUT 1. You can’t make money 2. You have to make me a lot of money 3. If you can’t you’re a criminal 4. If you don’t give me enough you’re a greedy scammer 5. You have to pay for irl events 6. If you make me money I dump on you.

What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings? I spent $250 in Kling credits and 9 hours re-editing the Fellowship trailer to bring that vision to life—and I’ll show you exactly how I did it 👇🏼

CT drastically underestimates how hard it is to be an honest builder in this space. There are endless expectations, you can never make everyone happy (even though you want to), and you're always one bad decision away from your project dying. On top of this, you'll always deal with FUD from someone that wants to see you fail, even if you build your project honestly and earnestly. You're fighting a war that can never be truly won. At the same time, there are many instances where you'll see "less-ethical" teams/projects take shortcuts or do something blatantly wrong and still get rewarded for it. I've talked to so many crypto founders over the years who ask themselves why they even bother trying. The reality is the crypto space hasn't rewarded morals up to this point (for better or worse). Obviously, the end reward for project founders can be lucrative, but statistically it's not a high likelihood. Most founders will spend years of their lives dealing with a ton of stress and end up winding down their projects. It's an extremely tough industry that moves on quickly. My point here is that I commend everyone in this space that tries to build projects "the right way". It's not easy to do and takes a ton of perseverance. You have my respect.

Gaming and streaming are two of the fastest growing sectors in entertainment. There's no reason why crypto gaming and streaming shouldn't be a part of that growth. So we'll make sure that happens through @AbstractChain.
