The next several years will be about making digital finance platforms global (stablecoins) and intelligent (AI). Brex has been a pioneer at every step... great to see them continuing to show the way: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Everyone’s talking about ByBit. By now, we all know what happened… but how COULD this have happened? Here’s my POV as someone who conducted offensive cybersecurity operations for over 6 years 🧵

1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.


Fired up and feeling lucky to have @jangelos4 joining the Ribbit team. Looking forward to lots of good things - and good times - ahead.

1/ Life update: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the @Ribbitcap team! 🐸

Bitcoin like digital gold cannot be devalued & it’s decentralization promotes transnational exchange & provides a check against economic mismanagement. Lets nurture it but protect consumers, prevent abuse, & invest in less carbon intensive mining. That should happen in America.

An excellent and inspiring introduction to, and reminder of, #Bitcoin's value to the world, all through a comprehensive and historical lens on money. vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-ca…



Thankful for the chance to partner with @adamnash (again!) and @alejandrocrosa. Nothing is more fun than working with good people with good plans.

2/ @alejandrocrosa & I have started a new company, and we’ve raised initial funding round led by @ribbitcapital. adamnash.blog/2020/12/01/jus…
