One week until we launch something that will make a lot of people mad at us. Half the industry will love, half will hate. See you on the other side.

One of the best books I've read in awhile. Airline CEOs are crazy mfers. Industry has intense cycles. Low margins. Capital intensive. The operations to land thousands of planes daily is next level. You compete against highly levered psychos. 10/10 recommend.

June disclosures is live. My only update: added ENA As a reminder, if you create content at Blockworks, you have to disclose holdings of $5k+ Hoping this drives better transparency across the industry so holler if you have feedback. https://blockworks.co/financial-disclosures

Steve Ballmer quote from Acquired: “Platforms need apps. You want to own the top first party app that runs on your platform, otherwise your platform can’t get good. Office was the best first party app on Windows. Outlook was the best first party app on Exchange. You want to make sure you own the first party app in addition to just your platform. You will get stuck in the mud if you’re just a platform.” Applied to crypto, L1s should not only build the chain. They should build a few amazing apps as well. Very different strategy than most take today (outsourcing 100% of app building).

Coinbase is now the first crypto company in the S&P. My favorite line: "Since going public... Coinbase has become a bigger part of the U.S. financial system" It makes me happy knowing that starting Monday, even people who despise crypto will now own a piece of the industry.

Pitched Mayor Adams nearly three years ago to the day. Keith Grossman and I told him that he had a real opportunity to make NYC the crypto capital of the world. Wild to see this idea become reality.

We now have a federally chartered bank that owns a yield-bearing stablecoin. Great move by Anchorage.

Our goal is not to make Permissionless the largest conference of the year. The goal is talent density.

Wow, amazing episode. Apollo has $750 billion AUM. Now they’re moving onchain. Finally got Apollo partner and head of digital assets on Empire to discuss their new onchain credit fund and crypto journey. If you’re building or investing in RWAs, this pod with @christinemoy, @pinged, and Carlos Domingo is a must listen.

Caught up with two friends and realized how slow most of the professional world moves. For context, they're both very successful in trad careers. One is a lawyer and one works in private equity. Neither of them uses AI. Ever. They don't understand why or even how they'd use it. "I just google things" One of them has never heard of Stripe. The other couldn't explain the difference between Stripe and Shopify. Neither of them own Bitcoin (though they do feel like it's finally derisked enough to consider buying some). Neither of them has heard of stablecoins. I asked if they would know how to launch a basic website and they said they'd go hire a developer. If you're reading this, I promise you, you are still so so early.
