The best GHOEs were 2006-2009 when every car had 28s and Boosie, Webbie, Gucci, Jeezy and TI was playing out of every car

NC as a state has some of the best pioneers of black music Chuck Brown - Godfather of Gogo John Coltrane - Jazz Nina Simone - High Priestess of Soul Thelonious Monk - Jazz/Piano George Clinton - Godfather of Funk
Question, what are the all time top 5 cities for black music? I feel like Detroit, ATL, NY, & Philly are locks but who gets the 5th spot? Is it Chicago? LA? H Town? VA as a state? Is the impact of MJ, Janet, & the J5 enough to give Gary an argument?

I’m calling it: the Golden Age has begun. Artemis, ghost murmur, and peace with Iran stripped the old world bankers of their last real lever to subvert US. Bitcoin, abundant energy, everything’s here. I lost friends, dealt with plenty of sludge people along the way, but none of it dimmed my hope for what we’d create. Now it’s here.

So nobody walked into the biggest Bitcoin companies office and pitched Here me out: Bitcoin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Steve Wozniak famously went to his boss at HP and said they should build a personal computer. They said no, so he left to found Apple. It’s a lesson for leaders: one "no" shouldn't kill a contrarian but right idea in your company. Twice a year at Coinbase, anyone in the company can pitch a "next bet" idea to a panel of folks. It's structured similar to pitching a handful of venture capitalists internally. If you get any one of them to say yes and fund it, you're green lit. You need ONE yes, not a unanimous yes from everyone in the org structure from you to the CEO (a de facto committee). Lots more goes into this, around capping resourcing on next bets (most are small 2-3 person teams), knowing when to shut them down, or under what revenue/profitability criteria they graduate to regular products. But this is important to having a company that produces repeatable innovation.
