I’ve never seen a startup scale in a straight line. Growth comes when you unlock the key to your next S-curve. 5 phases every founder (and their startup) has to go through:
1/ Ethereum is the backbone of the largest decentralized financial economy in the world. Here’s the data, and why it matters for ETH 📈
1/ When I bought my Rivian R1S, I had one big hesitation. It wasn’t the range, performance, or reliability. It was the maps. Rivian had built its own maps + navigation system from scratch. And as a former Google Maps designer, I know how hard it is to make navigation great.
We have a Break Thru. Break Thru is a chaotic community canvas. It is an experiment to see how much load a single program running on Thru can handle. Our canvas is an ode to our early chaotic community, a fun game we want you to break! We’ll continue expanding the canvas til…
1/ L2s aren’t just scaling Ethereum. They’re scaling demand for ETH. • 50K+ ETH bridged to L2s weekly • ETH = 35% of L2 lending collateral • Every new wallet = more ETH to hold, trade, and stake L2s turn ETH into the monetary base of the on-chain economy.

If you’re not coaching your people you don’t care about your company's success. One time I delivered reviews for a team I took over… I gave a team member 5/7 “Exceeds” in all areas, but she came back to me like: “Baz, why wasn’t I a 6 or 7 and put up for promo??” So I said:…
The way I see it is that Ethereum is special, because it has NO competition. Yes there are other L1 chains. But Eth has something special. - It was entirely community funded (no VC’s). - It started as PoW, so it’s very decentralized. Those two traits are basically impossible…
