I started playing padel recently and everyone I've gotten to play it with me has loved it. Such a fun way to get cardio in

I get a lot of suggestions about using AI to study physics but there's something really healing to me about being offline again with just a textbook, paper, and pen learning and solving problems that challenge me. It fixes my brain that's been fried from being chronically online

My post about my experience self studying physics so far must have gotten shared among some physics crowd because I have all these physics phds + professors getting all excited and encouraging me. It's so nice to not get shat on for a change coming from crypto lol

I'm self studying physics, in the past 2 months went from forgetting trig to almost done with mechanics. I study daily from a university textbook plus a tutor in person 3x per week. Avoiding screens to focus better. It's been the best, never too late to learn something you want!

I'm biased but great talk from my husband @wwarren on propAMMs and some exploitative behavior that happens. Glad 0x cares about users and works to prevent it even if it means they don't provide the best quote that moment. High integrity team building steadily over 9+ years

A lot of crypto founders could benefit from 1) doing more user interviews 2) learning how to conduct a good user interview (e.g. don't ask leading questions, seeing how someone is actually using your product, don't jump in immediately when someone pauses or gets stuck, etc)

Getting asked a lot what I'm doing next. I'm taking time to self study physics since it's been a life long dream of mine and only time off I've had in between work. Then try to start something in crypto again I'm passionate about but only if a sustainable business feels possible

I feel like a lot of the discourse around crypto can be divided into people who can imagine into the future and people who only see the current state of things based on what exists now. Major edge in having some imagination and optimism

vibes from @dwr casts right now

Only my personal experience but one of the best things I ever did for my mental health and productivity was delete my Instagram 7 years ago

I haven't had this much time to reflect on the state of crypto since I was a VC and I don't know if that's a good thing 😂

I don't blame teams at all for pivoting esp those that gave it their all when building. Startups are incredibly tough let alone ones in crypto and there's so much context only the founders/team have to make the best decision for themselves. Easy to criticize not going through it

Crypto teams doing well now are mostly speculation related (trading, perps, prediction markets) or stablecoin/fintech. Lots of fun, nerdy things but tough for businesses in between (why a lot of pivots/shutdowns). I'm optimistic crypto x AI agents is genuinely useful long run
