I just packed it up and moved to SF on a whim.
Now I wake up every morning at Mission Control, a hacker house that used to be a Thiel fellowship house where @VitalikButerin and @lucy_guo used to live in.
SF is like Singapore but instead of executives, everyone is an anti-establishment founder. I love it here

Growth team at elfa is killing it
33% MoM growth in active API users
35% MoM growth in revenue
Can’t believe we only discovered we have hockey stick growth in June this year
Good job @decircusmaster @mumbles_c @mingbuilds @Onlycryptonopo2
Today is a big day for me. @elfa_ai API usage is at all time high. ATH.
Never expected this new hockey stick growth to come from API usage tbh
If you are wondering why other finance AI competitors always ahead of you, this is probably the reason. You chose to vibe code this out while they chose to build on ____.
my data just got leaked through a web2 company
explains the spam calls i've been getting recently
its not j web3, now web2 companies are also targeted because of their sloppy opsec and hand written slop code
nowhere is safe and broader society is about to find out
saw this coming from a mile away
back in 2024, KAST reached out and offered early adopter points program to my community and myself. i managed to get a bunch of points and after a few months of radio silence from them, the entire program disappeared and so did my points.
ghosted.
then they relaunched a new points program, talked up TGE, pumped growth metrics, then now cancelling TGE
just feels as though the whole time they have been intentionally misleading users/farmers to achieve their numbers
might be wrong ofc, j how it seems from start til end
scummy but well played i guess, farmers got farmed
On the email users got, about converting points for KAST Pioneer Units. Let me say this, and then will leave it for you to absorb.
—-
First -
We are super limited in the language we can use, because of country-by-country rules. Use that for context, in what we released.
Second -
We didn’t just come up with some program out of thin air. The conversion of points to KAST Pioneer Units, came after a long and super expensive process with Tier 1 law firms, and with approvals from investors to create this setup. It literally cost us millions just to setup. We got legal opinions on dozens of countries. Obviously, we would only do this because we are really trying our absolute best to create a strong program for the community.
Third -
Just to reconfirm.
The KAST Pioneer Units, will be issued by a KAST-linked SPV. This is the only practical step for issuance globally. The points will convert to the KAST Pioneer Units.
There will be periodic cash out events. We can’t legally promise you the amounts, the dates, whether it goes up or down. No surprise in that.
But we are putting in the hard work, so the community gets an outcome aligned to the success of KAST.
The only thing you have to do, is quickly accept the conversion, details early December in app.
Fourth -
Why is there no token? Because no single project in the crypto card or Neobank space in history, has ever delivered a token which is not down. Tokens are almost always not aligned to the community. The founders and team most often end up with a treasury they wholly control, they along with investors cash out, and the token holders deal with the volatility and the ultimate decrease in price.
By not launching a token, our team and investors get none of that optionality. They stay locked in equity. To date, I have personally only net purchased equity in KAST and never sold.
Launching a token completely counter to our ambition to build a $100B+ company. We believe the KAST Pioneer Units will be the best long term outcome, and in time people will realise this.
Finally -
We understand that in a market which is very far down, many are looking for anyway to cash out. We get it. There is real pain in crypto prices, many have seen their wealth fall substantially.
But still strongly believe the KAST Pioneer Units, issued by the SPV, will ultimately prove to be the right decision. Time be our witness.
Thanks all.

funny how i went from the starry eyed dreamer years ago shouting “not your keys, not your coin!! self custody!!”
to “self custody is more harmful to majority of folks” re: phishes and scams
and now to “wtf i don’t even want coins anymore”
at this rate, i won’t be surprised if hyperliquid gets exploited as well
best to think about the what-ifs and underwrite
i will probably be bidding the red candle if that ever happens anyw
current trend: people are looking for better context to enrich their agent’s existing data
and they are coming to Elfa 🫡
!! our hardwork is paying off !!
look forward to our announcement (and dance…)
thank you all for the support 🙏🏼
Today is a great day.
1 week out from our v3 endpoints launch (this is free to call til 31st btw) & we hit another ATH in weekly API calls from our campaign 🥹
Time for another dance? @hypetris_
Also onboarded a new client to Elfa today
Let these wins stack 🤍

Had some time on my hand and decided to spin out an agent using @elfa_ai 's new V3 API.
Relatively simple agent. I'm trying to catch early runners that are being posted by researchers and top traders. I used the V3 API to do this. Rationale being there's a lot of noise if u just filter by most popular/hot article or post (usually KOL shills).
Also used Claude API to filter out tweets that are shills or obviously sponsored.
Right now its a dashboard + telegram bot. Every day it'll give me a summary of what coins made the cut as well the link to the post that mentioned it. There's a scoring system I made but will probably have to tweak it as well as add more researchers and traders that I want to track.
Let me know how you would further improve this!
stay up to date on events/narratives with @elfa_ai

LKY saw this crisis coming decades ago and proposed a brutal democratic fix: give citizens with families more voting weight. Without aligning political incentives with reproduction, populations inevitably collapse.
But here lies the "Eunuch trap" swallowing both Singapore and China whole.
They are hyper-meritocracies that aggressively reward your CV, exam scores, and bureaucratic rank, while making family totally irrelevant to career trajectory.
Look at SG right now with a dedicated fertility task force appointed and led by childless leaders. It rings hollow because it proves that having a family is no longer an existential prerequisite for political ambitions, as it was under LKY.
China is worse because it lacks a democratic mechanism entirely, so LKY's "extra votes for parents" fix is structurally impossible there. And China has fallen into the Eunuch Trap many times before.
In SG and China now, you can reach the absolute apex without ever absorbing the cost of raising a child. The leadership lacks any personal incentive to impose drastic measures, because their own rise never depended on having children.
