I spoke with @fredwilson.eth and Brad Burnham for a special episode of the slow hunch - recorded in my living room over multiple mugs of tea. In many ways @usv has been their collective slow hunch, and it's been a true privilege for me to be part of that journey with them, witnessing how they think, invest, and build an enduring venture capital firm. Also, lots in this conversation about the relationship between platforms & protocols, stemming all the way from our investment in Twitter and leading to our ongoing interest in bitcoin and crypto/decentralized systems, including Farcaster ENJOY!

on the $degen X space: 100% agree w @dwr.eth that the programmable nature of farcaster is THE THING. decentralization critical component but programmability likely the thing that unlocks brand new experiences.

I've worked with @pw for nearly a decade now. A few years ago he had an idea to build a new kind of infrastructure that would make cross-chain development easier. We backed him on that idea and @reservoir was born, focused initially on NFT trading. Fast forward a few years and we now also have @relay and the combined reservoir suite is everywhere moving hundreds of millions in value every week across all chains. Incredible to see. Thrilled to double down with the Series A and see where it can go from here.

On a flight and the flight attendants gave a special congratulations to a passenger who just made 7 years sober. He plus wife and two small kids all wearing “sobriety is 🔥” shirts. It was very sweet

Had surgery on my hand yesterday and as a result won’t be typing for a while. This has caused me to really try voice typing/dictation for the first time. Turns out I really like it and I may stick with it after this. Funny how sometimes constraints can breed innovations.

I think it would be nice if each chart in dune had a description field. For example, I was just looking at this @drakula chart (https://dune.com/queries/3571905/6012367) and I didn't totally understand what it was showing. I'd love a written description of charts. I think it would also be helpful to have comments which could be used for clarification & followups

Writing is indeed composable. One of my favorite -- and little known -- features on @paragraph is the ability to collect highlights Here's a collectible quote from @jaredhecht.eth's post today on composable writing, riffing on @fredwilson.eth's post on writing as a conversation https://opensea.io/collection/writing-is-composable-1
