One topic in the startup world is extremely opaque: founders' salaries. This causes founders to make all kinds of mistakes, like paying themselves too early, too late, too little, or too much. Founders don't get rich with their salaries: most of the money comes from IPOs, secondaries, and acquisitions. Being a founder means having to learn to deal with financial uncertainty.

That Generative AI may turn out to be a disappointment. There are concerns about the technology's lack of profitability, security issues, and the inherent problem of hallucinations in language models. Unless a groundbreaking model like GPT-5 is released by the end of 2024, addressing key issues and offering a killer application, the hype surrounding Generative AI may start to dissipate.
Tools for Humanity has developed a secure and powerful computing environment for the Worldcoin Orb that utilizes NVIDIA Jetson for processing and Arm Cortex M4 microcontrollers for real-time functions. The Orb runs Rust applications and uses NVIDIA's TensorRT for neural network inference. It is powered by a custom security-focused GNU/Linux distribution called Orb OS. The system integrates a secure element for cryptography and supports trusted execution environments for backend authentication.

According to MakerDAO founder Rune, EU financial regulators may require all DeFi frontends to hold a MiCA license. This would effectively block frontends from operating in Europe and require either KYC-enabled or locally-hosted solutions. If implemented, the rule would be in effect starting in 2025.
This post breaks down the most profitable industry sectors this year. Memecoins are the clear leader, with a 1,313% market capitalization increase, followed by RWA and AI at around 250%.

This article provides a comprehensive guide on the most secure methods for storing cryptocurrencies. The author discusses the importance of considering one's threat model and offers insights into the advantages and potential vulnerabilities of each storage method (hardware wallet, brain wallet, and paper wallet) and ultimately emphasizes the significance of using cryptography and natural entropy for protection.
This thread compares zkVMs with zkEVMs, making a case for zkVMs. A zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) provides secure and verifiable computation through zero-knowledge proofs, offering a simpler alternative to the complex and resource-intensive zkEVMs. Taiko has implemented a multi-prover system to ensure continued security even if one type of proof is compromised.
This thread cites several factors for the bull case for Ethereum and an eventual $10,000+ price. The early pivot to Layer 2s and the commitment from innovative companies, like StarkWare and Coinbase, in building L2s demonstrates industry confidence. Even though L1 transaction costs remain high, the mainnet remains a place for the highest-security transactions, and the deflationary nature of ETH incentivizes investors to hold. Institutions and governments seem to be warming up to Ethereum, as demonstrated by BlackRock’s onchain fund and the CFTC’s declaration that Ethereum is a commodity.
Bitwise highlights Bitcoin's ability to let users hold and control their wealth independently of centralized institutions. Despite its volatility and lack of governmental endorsement, Bitcoin's value is underpinned by its scarce supply and high demand. Bitcoin skeptics fail to appreciate its resistant nature to censorship and the fundamental market principles that determine its pricing.
This article outlines a strategy for profiting from investing in Solana memecoins - use a consistent initial bet size, get in very early, take profits on initial pumps, aggressively add to winners, and sell when the token's price structure breaks down.
Cross-chain messaging protocol Wormhole has launched its token via airdrop - the token is available on Solana, with plans to connect to EVM-based chains using Wormhole Native Token Transfers (NTTs).
According to onchain data, the median Solana transaction latency is nearing the 1-minute mark. This is primarily driven by Wormhole airdrop stakers and the added congestion from Solana’s memecoin mania.

In design, we often strive for Dieter Rams' ideal of "less, but better," but how do we know if our "less" achieves "better"? We have to view it in the context of "more." Start with the fullness of the idea: the whole "bull." Get something tangible before people first, even if it's not the final form. Then, systematically refine and distill it to its purest essence over time.
