Evening at the docks. Crews tying down lines. Quiet after a day of work. Made me think- Shipping in tech isn’t all that different. You prep. You launch. You deliver what you said you would. Not glamorous. Not loud. Just consistent hands doing the work.

Whoever sold “Coldplay’s ex-wife fixes your brand” in the boardroom deserves a raise, a Pulitzer, and partial custody. That’s how you crisis.

Comfort kills. Risk creates.

Happy birthday to the 🐐, @BarryBonds!

You asked for: ✅ Faster logins ✅ Local currencies ✅ @ICPSwap integration (restored) Done, now we rest— Just kidding. 1.6.1 is already in motion.

This space wasn’t built on memes or speculation. It was built on a belief: that people deserve better tools, better systems, more control. We’d do well to remember that.

In every project I’ve been part of, someone else always ships first. And I understand the reaction. As users, it’s natural to think, “they moved faster, they must be winning.” But speed doesn’t always mean success. At @oisy , the solutions we’re building aren’t about being…

When you’ve got nothing left to protect, you finally move without hesitation. No fear. No identity to defend. No crowd to impress. That’s when you do your most honest work. Not because you’re confident — but because you’re clear. The window doesn’t stay open forever. So build…

Trust, security, and ease of use shouldn’t be trade-offs.

There’s pressure that pushes you to grow. And pressure that breaks you over time. Knowing the difference changes everything.

Every @Pavegen email is the same “we’re crushing it… mind sending more funds?” Funded a @crowdcube campaign just to get ghosted on unsubscribe requests and hear from them every quarter when they need cash again At least in crypto when you get rugged, they don’t follow up 🤦‍♂️

all of the US is operating as an exit scam now. every sector, industry, layer of govt, etc

It’s rare to find a place where people bring together different skills, ideas, and values; and still find common ground. Even with the noise, the arguments, and the missteps, there’s something real here. This little network we’re building? It’s messy. It’s imperfect. But it’s…

Still feeling the impact of @KongSwapx in the French Riviera weeks after @EthCC

every single day that passes where no L1 or L2 flips ethereum in mcap makes it more likely that no L1 or L2 ever flips ethereum in mcap solana also feels like it lost its shot at doing this in the near term

If your token doesn’t capture value, you’re not building an asset, you’re building an exit plan. If you’re not ready to drive everything back to it, don’t launch one. No excuses.

Most founders think storytelling is a job for marketing. It’s not. Every person on the team should know how to explain what you’re building- clearly, confidently, and in a sentence or two. Because every conversation is a moment. And every moment is a chance to show people why…
