Latam @withAUSD | Prev: @tether_to & @worldcoin | low-information environments.
I’m thrilled to share that I am joining Agora @withAUSD as Head of Latam alongside some of the best operators in the space. We’re backed by some of the strongest investors in the space and are hot off announcing our $50M Series A led by @paradigm and @dragonfly_xyz.
Re: AI, Technology can change the world without meaningfully impacting GDP. Uber and DoorDash marked a clear before and after in everyone's lives, but they didn't create 5% GDP growth (or even 3%).
"We're so proud of yo--" You wake up. The year is 2025. You didn't start a crypto treasury insider scheme. You are not on speaking terms with your family.

We should try one more podcast. If it doesn’t work this time, ok now we know. End of discussion. But we won’t know until we try. People don’t realize that All-In was not a flawed pod. It didn’t have the right guys in charge. Do you know how many permutations of 4 guys exist?
Legible-brain is practically blindness in a world where social coordination nodes are in a constant state of reorganization.
People whose side hobby is analyzing data & culture will just ignore our cultural selection effects around complaining (status signal, inclusive) vs bragging (crude, faux pas). Kids with someone you love is incredible. Do it. Don’t fall for the psyops.
Gmail is more an identity service than a messaging service.
As John says, every fintech (and more!) will launch branded stablecoins. Agora is here to serve them @withAUSD out of the box!
The GENIUS Act for stablecoins passed today. Two predictions: 1. Major banks will launch stablecoins surpassing the float of USDC/USDT (JPMD, Citi) 2. Every FinTech will launch branded stablecoins to capture treasury yield revenue (bullish @withAUSD for white-labeled stables)
You need to be disbelieving things. You need to be questioning the methodology. You need to be gut-checking the conclusions. You need to be diving into addendum 3. You need to be operating in low-information environments.
