Quiet all the noise….what’s happening right now?

There was a certain generation of old American writers who had such incredible spirits and talent. I'm thinking of Washington Irving, H.L. Mencken, W.E.B. Dubois, Mark Twain and those of their ilk. The level of erudition and refinement of civilization evident in their words represented the peak of American culture – a rich, old culture despite the relative youth of the nation at that time. 

I highly recommend people to pick up the works of these older writers. You will find that they are not just fresh despite their age, they are unlike anything one can find printed today.

I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 cohort, which starts this week. 

Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll get firsthand lessons from top crypto founders, receive guidance and support from @a16zcrypto’s investing and operating teams, and build connections with each other and the broader a16z network.

The CSX Fall 2024 companies are coming to NYC from 11 different countries, and they’re building on every level of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping. 

We’re thrilled to partner with each of these CSX companies on their journey to product market fit. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/announcing-the-csx-fall-2024-cohort/

Miss the time when we had long format video clips like this one. Encapsulate the late 80s era so well! Love the song, and love the MV as well! :)

One of the complaints that I hear A LOT is “The OG casters just ignore anyone who’s not in their circle. This leads to resentment for some people. 

But I wanted to share a different perspective. You don’t need to get a response. Instead, focus on finding friends that you can grow together with.

In short, don’t worry about the current OGs. Make your own!
