bullish @odagius and bullish @BNBStandard 🔥
Congratulations to @odagius on becoming CEO of @BNBStandard (formerly BNC)👏
From Goldman Sachs to joining our five-person investment team in 2021, Alex has helped shape the BNB ecosystem across three market cycles—mentoring 10 seasons of @BNBChain MVB founders and advancing tokenized equities.
Yesterday at Money20/20, Alex told me, “Ella, we both knew this day would come, but I have to officially resign from @yzilabs today.”
We knew this moment was coming, but hearing it made it suddenly feel real. Bittersweet, of course, but above all, a moment of pride and joy.
Now, he’s taking BNB to Wall Street.
As @BNBStandard largest shareholder, @yzilabs is proud to back Alex and his vision of building the institutional gateway to BNB—with transparency, discipline, and long-term conviction.
From teammate to founder, our journey continues. 🚀
I recently came across an interesting idea: if you’re going to learn from someone, you might need to learn the whole package.
Everyone wants to copy Buffett’s long-term thinking and value-investing approach, but conveniently ignores things like his McDonald’s and Coca-Cola habits. Yet how do you know which details matter?
Something you dismiss as irrelevant might actually play an important role in the system that makes him successful.
The tricky part is that the judgment you use to decide what’s worth copying might be exactly what you need to improve. We often cherry-pick the qualities we already agree with and discard everything we don’t understand. That’s less about learning from someone and more about reinforcing our existing worldview.
Some incredibly sharp people take imitation much further. They’ll even copy their boss’s strange meeting habits—not because they understand why those habits work, but because they recognize that they might not understand yet.
You think you’re removing the unnecessary details. You might actually be removing the parts that make the whole thing work.
So perhaps the lesson is: before you understand someone’s system, don’t be too quick to edit it.
Sometimes you have to try doing things their way before you can understand why it works—or whether it works for you.
Everyone wants a digital twin.
I don’t need an AI that talks like me. I want one that knows how I get things done.
We spend so much of our day showing our computers exactly how we work, then start from zero every time we open a chatbot.
While we’re trying to record every conversation we have in person, it’s time we let agents learn how we work, too.
Another way to think about it: a much smarter version of Apple’s Screen Time. Not just tracking how much time you spend, but understanding how you actually get things done—with everything stored locally.
Who’s building this?
Can't be more excited for the upcoming @EASYResidency S5. We'll see some of the most cracked founders come out BIG.
A friend asked me today how to cultivate a long-term relationship. I thought for a while.
I think it’s particularly hard for our generation. Everything feels so accessible, including potential partners, that it’s easy to give up and start over when conflicts arise.
But if you keep moving on so easily, you may never discover the version of yourself that comes from going that deep with one person.
That’s one of the most beautiful parts of a long-term relationship: through everything you go through together, you learn about yourself and grow. And the joy of standing together and overcoming conflict and unhappiness is incredible.
There’s no perfect relationship. Whoever you’re with, there will be problems. What matters is learning how to resolve them, how to listen, and how to care for the other person in the way that matters most to them.
If you really think you’ve met the right person, try the “let’s fix it together” mindset rather than the “that’s it, I’m done” mindset.

Pokémon Arena 2D looks set to shake up the fangame scene!

Fun fact of the day: Bai Juyi (772–846 CE), a famous Tang dynasty poet, was a decentralized storage O
Nearly 3,000 of his poems survive today, versus 900+ by Li Bai and 1,400+ by Du Fu.
His backup strategy:
- Five copies of his collected works.
- Three temple nodes across China.
- Two family nodes: his nephew and grandson.
- He even listed where each copy was stored and who held it in his collection’s afterword.
And here’s the interesting part: readers could see where the copies were and who was responsible for keeping them.
The crypto parallel? Making custody public can make accountability public. If a copy went missing, readers would know where to look—and who to ask. The custodians’ reputations could become part of the backup strategy.
Multi-copy replication. Geographic redundancy. Public accountability.
Bro understood the power of decentralized storage 1,000+ years ago.
