curious how many startup/tech founders own some bitcoins. there's probably no group that better understands what’s behind this chart.
so many similarities between btc and startups – pmf discovery, adoption based on trial and error, early user feedback, never-ending ups and downs, the sense of doing something important for others, breaking the status quo, ongoing passion for tomorrow, etc.
this is what drives me to be here: the sense of building the largest startup ever launched in history.
EM gave a quite good definition of money on lex podcast a few years ago: “… think of money as information. it’s just an entry in a database for resource allocation - a ratio of exchange”
at any given moment, the strongest dream in that moment wins that moment.

sounds like a great way to introduce zaps/nostr/bitcoin to the general business. I can easily imagine a ⚡️ btn on my company’s slack!

great idea! fingers crossed 🤞
after 15 years in proptech/cre, i can say it’s the best time to get cre people involved in transparency/bitcoin. today, they’re listening.
nostr:note1g36hengtfljpuznqf29vtjd6w52q2skh9wrvfhdmpq8h0hy8grfqekdk5kI've watched cre/proptech for 15 years, and after decades of being almost entirely analog (phone, paper, and spreadsheets), something is changing.
The covid/office crisis was a huge lesson that even this billion-dollar industry can’t maintain the status quo.
The trick with real estate is that we build for decades, while the world changes overnight. real estate can’t adapt as fast as tech requires.
CRE 3.0 is a concept of the industry’s progress, making it robust to the world’s pace.
Transparency is the key - and that’s exactly where CRE should learn from bitcoin, #nostr, and similar innovations.

sounds like twitter ads 🙃
I was never a bitcoiner. I’m not a developer. I’m not an open source creator, more a consumer.
I’m a proptech founder solving fragmented information in commercial real estate. My goal is to unlock data and create a more transparent industry where ppl compete based on skill and exp, not just what they know. This isn’t such a big issue in the US, but it’s a huge progress decelerator in Europe.
A few years ago, I read “Token Economy” by Shermin Voshmgir and drafted an intro concept for a real estate information protocol.
Then, a few weeks ago, I discovered #Nostr, and I haven’t been this excited in a long time. The concept, even if not adapted directly, is literally an instruction for creating decentralized information-sharing protocols.
And that is something that must change the status quo.
Yesterday - finance, social media - today, information and business - tomorrow.
Thank you guys 🤙

Homo quantum.
here’s an interesting piece:
“(…) This scalability suggests that an error rate better than one in one million could be achieved using a distance-17 qubit array that comprises 577 qubits of suitably high quality.”
