Never stated he invested in ten31. All of the day drinking is catching up with you drunkard.

My point remains; you are the high-dollar version of what you claim to oppose.

Ten31 was given $10 million dollars by one of the most censorist ding-dongs on the internet. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

The guy who removed a US president from the internet town-hall.

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx isn't one of those street girls, no he's a high dollar whore.

LMFAO!

This is like a high-dollar escort calling a hooker on the street a whore.

You are the same!

How's that Dorsey money treating ya bub?

I hear Matt @odell claims people think his VC firm, Ten31, is closely tied to Swan and that some people may be influenced to use Swan or invest in Swan because of Ten31's involvement. Let me state very clearly that Ten31 has no influence on Swan, and no information rights. Ten31's biggest investment by far is in Strike, they sit on the Unchained board, and Matt and Marty's podcast is sponsored by River.

Matt was a very early advisor to Swan, specifically focused on privacy, and we very much appreciate his contributions. He owns some advisor shares in Swan, but has never been asked to invest.

Jonathan and Grant from Ten31 each cut angel checks into Swan very early on, and rolled them into their first fund. They also cut a small check into our A round from Ten31, which was a party round (lots of small checks) in Fall 2021. I don't think we ever received an investor referral from Ten31, nor do I remember ever hearing someone mention Ten31 when getting in touch about a Swan investment.

In summary, as @Odell himself said, Ten31 invested a tiny amount in Swan, long ago, and has no information rights. All large investors in Swan do extensive diligence, and they are not concerned with the names of seed funds from early rounds.

Regarding Swan's small hedge fund that we created for a couple of our institutional investors, which seems to have triggered the latest outburst from Mr. Odell:

We needed a head of trading for institutional clients to execute trades with VWAP / TWAP etc and tight spreads from multiple OTC desks. He happened to have a great track record of asset management, and a strong desire to continue managing money. A couple of our investors wanted a lower-vol Bitcoin strategy (sit in cash during drawdowns, ok with losing a little upside by missing part of some pumps), and decided to seed him in a Swan-managed fund. The fund is already at capacity and we are not marketing it.

My advice to retail investors remains the same as it's always been: DON'T TRADE UNLESS YOU WERE ALREADY A PROFESSIONAL TRADER. 99% get rekt, and it's even worse in "crypto" because that game is rigged even worse than tradfi. Much better to stay humble and stack sats, ideally with a Bitcoin-only company like Swan (we don't even have a sell button! and we have still have FREE automatic withdrawals).

Yo, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx why would you still hold shares?

Like you still have a Twitter account, talk is cheap.

Have you tried using Mercury? I have, the wallet never worked for me.

Humans have been breeding Great Danes and Mastiffs for their size for millennia. Little improvement and their life spans are approximately 7 years.

Yes I did. Japan is a functional society after all

Yes, that's why you should be more exact with your words.

Countless examples of improvements, A.K.A. "a greater coming from a lesser"

The combustion engine had a thermodynamic efficiency of 12 percent when it was first invented. Now we can achieve 3x that.

Is that not "the greater proceeding from the lesser"?

Gravity and time? You sound vain. There's more to self improvement then outward appearance.

The idea that "a greater can not come from a lesser" is absurd in every application. Unless you don't believe in the concept of improvement.

Anyone got recommendations for 100% wool boxer briefs? Trying to avoid non-natural materials and constant contact with my body.

You sound like a smarmy ding-dong who is completely blind to the dystopic future.

The horse and buggy was replaced because it was technologically inferior to the automobile in every category.

You are conflating an idealogically driven supplanting with what was a natural technological replacement.

"Sorry"
