I received a check for $0.00 in some mail I just opened today Image
This is a royalty check for an episode of HBO’s Silicon Valley I was in. The gross amount was $0.56.
Deductions: FICA $0.03, Income tax $0.52, and Medicare 0.01. That leaves $0.00, and they mailed me a check in that amount. Image
TLDR: I’m a paid actor! Thanks @MikeJudge :)

1/ PROJECT FAHRENHEIT: Just announced - we have become a qualified bidder in the Celsius bankruptcy process. We are using the working name of Project Fahrenheit (@FahrenheitHldg). A short thread on what we are trying to accomplish.
2/ A court filing making our bid public is at cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11… and Celsius tweeted it at
3/ What has happened to the stakeholders of Celsius is an absolute tragedy and has affected the entire industry. We want to help put the pieces back together and will work tirelessly to do this.

I am a crypto guy now, but my TechCrunch DNA still loves the traditional startup of any kind. I recently visited Itay Noy In Israel - itay-noy.com and purchased one of his hand made timepieces. He is Israel's only independent watchmaker as far as I know.
Itay has just one assistant. He builds his watches by hand, including designing the dials and movements, hand acid etching the dials, painting them and assembling the movement and case. He's a true artisan.
He doesn't generally work with retailers. He sells each watch individually, mostly in person, and knows all of his customers personally. He makes just 100 or so watches per year. He has really figured it all out - doing something he loves, his way, and making a living with it.

1/ A thread about doxxing , how it harms people and how it harmed my family.
2/ As many know, we moved to Miami in the middle of 2021. After a long search we purchased a property. Because of the unique and violent security threats against people in crypto, we took extreme measures to preserve our privacy.
3/ We purchased the home via a trust and we had a confidentiality agreement in place. Nevertheless, the home purchase leaked and was covered extensively in the press. It was trivial to determine our exact home location.

1/ Real estate ownership MUST go on chain. I recently took out a mortgage. Couldn't pass up a 30 year fixed at 2.5%. However,
2/ OMG the mortgage process sucks ass. Months and months and months of bullshit. But at the end, free money.
3/ People NEED real estate defi. Once you've done a defi transaction on chain, in moments, you realize how badly the $350T real estate market is BEGGING to be disrupted.

1/ Things that are true:

1. The NSA gathers collects and stores all worldwide communications, including from U.S. citizens.
2/ The NSA can use/share that information with a court order, including via a secret court. The secret court almost never declines requests.
3/ This information has been used repeatedly and recently for purely political purposes.

1/ Trying to out my finger on why Miami is so perfect right now. It’s partly the weather, sure. And the best big city mayor in the country by a mile, @FrancisSuarez.
2/ But it’s way more than that. The city is alive in a way that Seattle and San Francisco are not. It doesn’t hate itself, nor is it guilting itself into abasement. It is vibrant, diverse and on the rise. Much as Silicon Valley was in the beginning of my career.
3/ and yet it is even more than that. SF/Seattle and probably NY (where I’ve never lived so not sure) have ossified. There is still innovation in tech, but culture has regressed and turned darkly orthodox.
