Almost everything of value can be collateral. Most of it just isn’t...yet
Last week, Peter Thiel’s @foundersfund led a $5M token buy in @anvil_xyz. The same week, @cryptosmiff sat down with Anvil founder @trspalding in Singapore for Conviction.

Very sorry to hear this news. 😥 I never had the chance to meet Margaret Hamilton, but her contributions to the flight software that got us to the moon are legendary. I love this image of her standing next to the printouts of the Apollo code.
We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…

there being exactly zero apps that tell you, real time, what’s going on socially in a major city is … insane.

1/6 Excited for the @GVteam to be celebrating 15 years but it would have been nice to see the actual founding story told vs the distorted version in the Fortune article. Here is my abbreviated version of the founding, lots of other fun details to save for another telling

They clearly not endorsed her earlier because… because 🤔 ah they were editing and tweaking the video 🤭 - it says “early this week” so they called her right away but the video was not ready. This being said - Go Kamala! #Harris2024ForTheWin
Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.
