I do not like the label @Bitcoin maximalist. I'm an innovation maximalist. Bitcoin is incredible. It’s transparent, keeps perfect records, immutable, transparent, global, accepted everywhere and has a 63% market share in crypto. One thing people don’t focus on is that Bitcoin is a tool that allows for innovation. Bitcoin is about investing in a great future where: • Artists get paid instantly for their work • Small businesses access global markets without banks • Creators own their audiences directly without having to pay platforms 30% • Innovation moves at the speed of code, not committees Innovation/Progress is the goal.

Capitalism's unequal distribution of prosperity is far better than socialism's equal distribution of misery. Experience keeps proving it.
Zohran Mamdani: “I don't think that we should have billionaires.” Do you agree? Is there a point in being a billionaire besides for power?
This is why you need complementary co-founders!
Building a company is like going to war. When the enemy is at the gate, who do you want around you? Do you want the vibe to be scared and antagonistic to your fellow soldiers? Or do you want to smile, have hope and charge forward for the sake of the mission?

hard to believe it’s been exactly 20 years since steve jobs gave this commencement address. probably the closest thing tech has to scripture. not because of the prose, but because it beautifully compressed a whole cosmology.. death, intuition, rebellion into 15 minutes. legacy isn’t how often people remember you, it’s how often they remember themselves differently because of you. this speech does that for me. still. over & over.

Some people were upset about the accelerate or die post. I get it, it's provocative on purpose. Some people literally didn't understand what I said. I get it, that's why I said "before you get confused". Some people don't want to be accelerating. I get it, acceleration can be uncomfortable. Some people tediously explained to me that we should not drive cars into walls. I get it, driving cars into walls is a bad idea. Some people are mad at me for making claims they don't like about how the world seems to work. I get it, the world does not always work the way we want it to. Some people think this exhibits a defeatist attitude. I get it, some people conflate acknowledgement of difficulty with actual hopelessness. Some people believe recognizing things that seem to be true is equivalent to saying they are optimal that way. I get it, cope is common so we learn to expect it everywhere. But listen. I'm just trying to tell it like it is. I'm thoroughly and sincerely open-minded. I bring as little ego to all of this as I can (some days more, some days less). I mean it when I say I'd be perfectly fine to admit that I've been wrong and that Yudkowsky was right, etc. If someone convinced me tonight, I'd post about it tonight. But after years defeating point after point of mostly terrible counterarguments, it still hasn't happened. I assume he'd say the same thing. Because I'm reasonably nice, people often expect me to play by their rules of the game. I don't, and I mostly won't. This is not a polite, academic, philosophical debate. I wish it were. This is an extremely serious set of issues affecting the entire world right now, and things are moving quickly. I may never play nice with those who wield superiority complexes over the rest of humanity. At the level of this debate, I see them as wholly undeserving of fair play. But of course, most people aren't like that at all. For them, I have always tried to exercise civility, respect, etc... and will continue to do so. These issues are subtle, impactful, and deserve our careful attention. Tech didn't get it right last decade. I think we're on course to do much better through this one and next. I remain optimistic. We are accelerating.

Had an amazing time at #AWE2025 working the booth and giving demos of @gracia_vr incredible #GaussianSplatting based #volumetricvideo that puts the reality in #VirtualReality running native on the quest 3. Check out their demos meta.com/experiences/app/257… @TheVRFund @ARealityEvent

The new avatars on Apple #VisionPro are undoubtedly the biggest addition. Here is why 👇 The leap in quality when compared to the original persona 1.0 and 1.1 (shown in the video capture around 1 year ago) is just massive and reaches a level of fidelity that can compete with the Codec avatars showcased by Meta. The difference here is that it all happens on a standalone device, with no complicated setup (also shown in the video) and capitalises on a unique feature of the headset, with NO OTHER device coming even close. Co-presence is one of the aspects no one has nailed yet, and this is the biggest leap in that direction.

I hope they go full 6dof using Gaussian Splat based volumetric video with @gracia_vr and not just stereo 180
