My retired-taxi driver dad asked if I could buy a Waymo car for him to make some passive income. Usually, my dad has some good business ideas, but for this one- I told him he needs to think bigger… like maybe a @Waymo token: $WAY.

After 3+ years of building @BlockTower VC, we’re extremely excited to double down on teams who push the space forward in our next chapter, as we spin out the franchise, portfolio and team with my partners @spvenino33 &amp; @winnielaux_ under a new independent venture focused firm:…

Thomas and I worked together in the early days of ConsenSys in Brooklyn, back when crypto was just starting to bud. 

It’s been incredible to watch his trajectory as an investor—one of the most helpful partners when we were fundraising for Aptos, navigating complex scenarios with…

I’m honored to join Klickl as a Strategic Advisor. After working with this team for over a year I know they are in the same league as Tether, Circle, and Ripple (and operating in even bigger market than peers)

- Regulatory structure is tight.

On memecoins…

Memecoins have generated a lot of buzz recently, and I’ve gotten some questions on how I think about them. I am personally not a memecoin trader (beyond a few test trades), but they’ve become hugely popular. Arguably, they've been with us since the beginning –…

Meme coins are good….

Satoshi doesn’t use the chain. Toly doesn’t use the chain. Vitalik only uses the chain to pay the one coffee shop in the 3rd world that allegedly accepts RAI. what founder is in the trenches with us?

I use the chain almost every day.

I can’t get out of Emojicoin. Mirage and Klickl are next. I onboard people onto Petra and showcase products from Move-based chains. That’s how I know Aptos, Movement, and Sui are world-class. And I know my peers—Avery, Adeniyi, and others—do the…

I’ve been spending time in the Solana ecosystem and here’s what stands out (hint, Aptos and other Move chains are on this path and growing quickly):

@QwQiao @moshaikhs Respectfully disagree. 

Future blockchain end state will need to be a multi-stage pipelined and parallelized architecture (see the Aptos whitepaper for details) https://t.co/SKJeLcm6YM Solana async is one step forward, but there's a lot more to go.

There's no other way to…

I agree with @AveryChing.

If you want big beefy fast blockchains @Aptos has better design than @solana but is more centralized. Move is a great language too. Way better than Solidity or Rust in Anchor/SVM. I’m an Ethereum guy but I recognize Aptos tech.

ETHEREUM ACCELERATION .

With @matthuang, @danrobinson &amp; @_charlienoyes. https://t.co/5TJq3G7HhX

Ethereum must accelerate (eth/acc)

We contribute to many ecosystems, so this is not about zero-sum competition (ETH vs SOL vs BTC vs etc)

It’s good for all of crypto for Ethereum to continue executing and not fall short of its potential
