Should have put it in Wemby’s hands

Agents are about to start buying on our behalf. Even when one knows all our data, there are still purchases we want to control. That's because some decisions are our expression of personal taste. So how do we build trust with an agent controlling our wallet. We won't, until there is skin in the game.

People don't always respond to incentives in the way traditional economics would predict. A well-designed reward can create far more engagement and make capital stretch further, than simply increasing the size of a discount. Bundle have built around that mechanic and the conversion uplift shows!

Dopamine culture means younger generations want to engage with content more than just reading or watching it. Prediction markets gamify otherwise passive real world events, but seeing a wider trend of gamifying action as well as speculation

As I recognise AI content quicker, my natural reaction is to scroll past. Akin to the LinkedIn essay, even if there may be good bits, I no longer value it the same as authenticity. Think we will need more transparent, opinionated builds in products for trust to be defaulted again

It's Stripe's world, we're just living in it

Good timing with JaredFromSubway over the weekend, but more generally the structural problem has largely always been the same. Large orders on a public mempool are free information. Every pending transaction is visible before it settles, which is why institutions like JP Morgan built their own private permissioned stack rather than touch something public. Turbine is genuinely how institutional execution should work. Same principle as a dark pool, but trustless and best price execution rather than the need of someone's word. Big congrats to @haikane and the team here

This is the busiest bear market I’ve ever seen

Markets are cyclical, but this transition is more structural than prior resets. Talent and capital will consolidate around teams competing against broader financial and internet markets, not just crypto-native peers. If you're executing at a high level, DMs open as usual.

Can confirm, our team is very active. Feels like a pivotal moment for the space and a lot of strong founders are leaning into it. Reach out if you want to chat.

This is epic. Believe wearable tech is going to be more and more embedded to clothing for additional accuracy, functionality, and wider tracking. Then interpreted by your agents and actioned with supplements, additional training programs, or recovery suites.
