🚨 self-serving, but also 100% true statement.

⚡ Lightning is becoming essential with #Bitcoin transaction fees surging again near and sometimes above $100. We will see most Bitcoin transactions < $10,000 (and likely higher) on Lightning by EOY.

The rare opportunity to work on something truly meaningful in your life comes from luck, being at the right place at the right time with the right skills, knowing how to recognize and seize opportunities, and an ability to stay focused for a long time. Many fail at the last 2.

Less than 80 blocks and about 13hrs to go until #Bitcoin daily net new supply gets cut in half from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC for the next 4 years. A good reminder of the marvel of incentives and forward thinking that Bitcoin is! #Bitcoin Halving

Israel will prevail. Praying for the safety of family and friends during these perilous times.

Signing off from Paris Blockchain Week. It was good to be back to my hometown for a few days.

Had such a great time at Paris Blockchain Week! Michael Amar 🎗️ and the team he assembled over the years crafted an exceptional event through blood, sweat and tears and it shows! Being on stage with a dear friend was also such a treat! Will be back next year!

Everything that can be tokenized, will be tokenized. Not only stocks, funds, and the long list of financial assets and instruments, but also the title to your car, home, everything you own, and your identity as well.

Today marks 6 months since the horrific terrorist attack on Israel that claimed nearly 1,200 lives. It also marks 6 months of captivity for over 130 hostages still held by Hamas. It’s time to #BringThemHome !

PSA to all New Yorkers experiencing earthquakes now, move to LA! We have the best weather, the beach, palm trees. At least you get something great along with these.

I love this #Bitcoin Timechain Calendar dash so much that we have it displayed on one of our dashboard monitors at @Lightspark’s office. 16 days and counting to the next halving! timechaincalendar.com/en

Thrilled to announce that @Coinbase has selected @Lightspark to enable the #Bitcoin Lightning Network across its platform and services. Yet another significant milestone for Lightning! ⚡to many millions of new people and 100+ countries coming soon! bit.ly/3xkjwAH

Interesting early mini-trend. People migrate to sometime inferior core products when “AI-augmentation” is better. Example: preferring to use Microsoft Teams over Zoom because Copilot meeting transcription is really good. This will happen to devices and all services soon.

People who truly care about Palestinians should want Israel to finish getting rid of Hamas for good. Failing to complete this objective will result in many more regrettable deaths and tragic outcomes over the long run. It’s an uncomfortable but undeniable truth.

It’s often really hard to nail the right moment to ship something. Shipping too late is always bad. But shipping certain things that can be angle-changers for an entire ecosystem too soon can backfire big time. Some products or platform-plays need time to mature.

Now that we’re done with all the SBF drama, we can proceed with building a thriving, trusted industry. I see this moment as a coming of age, just like Wall Street had many of its own before. Onward!

The amount of time certain people waste in supremely boring, pompous events that they can’t possibly be enjoying, but that validate their belonging to a certain “elite” has always been a mystery to me. Focus on building. Hang out with the people you enjoy being with.

Feeling incredibly schizophrenic about the world these days. We’re either on the eve of the best times for humanity, or darkness like this generation has never seen before. Let’s all do our part to ensure it’ll be the former.
