I am in the court behind @alex_pertsev

I have no idea what is going on

But I do know one thing:

Freedom fighters should not buy a Porsche

He should return the €

We should send all our $TORN to the 0x

The VCs who encouraged him to launch a token are nowhere to be seen

🌪️ If you really want to #FreeAlex

You need to accept the truth

The Dutch government has a great case

The @TornadoCash team and their investors made bank from the code

It was not an open source project

It was a for-profit company pretending to be “decentralised”

$TORN is shite

I want to fund a *super simple* open source Android Wallet for Ethereum

My ideas:

> It focuses on 4 functions: ADD, PAY, BUY, OUT
> They expand to BANK, SEND, FIND, CASH
> It has to be in Kotlin & Rust—not cross-platform
> We have to explore using Chrome & Samsung Browser The goal will be for it to work on the lowest power devices with a smashed screen

I will use this with my people in the townships of South Africa

It will have a meaningful impact on the first day it ships

It must work with @0xPolygon

We should add @RampNetwork

Budget is ♾️

Who wants to hear my story about how Uniswap actually got started? Image I have wanted to tell this story publicly for years. But I did not have the heart to do it.

It is filled with so much love & so much sadness.

A few things have changed in my life that have made me realise one thing:

I want to release my old stories & go on new adventures

How I got hired & fired from Stripe as employee number 20-something in 2012

Buckle up: I have told this story to hundreds of people in person. After a decade since it happened, I wanted to reflect on how much this experience changed me & my trajectory.

Most importantly, I wanted to publicly thank @patrickc & @collision for giving me the opportunity.
