Ken Griffin is pouring billions into Miami. Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are buying up Miami real estate. Peter Thiel and Keith Rabois have planted roots here. Palantir moved its headquarters here. Adam Neumann is building Flow, a venture-backed residential ecosystem connecting real estate, technology, and community, with a major footprint in Miami. Larry Ellison is in Palm Beach. And people still want to pretend nothing is happening in South Florida. Between Miami and Palm Beach, the concentration of capital, influence, and access is becoming impossible to ignore. San Francisco has an incredible talent pool. Nobody is disputing that. But it’s also one of the most saturated ecosystems in the world. A lot of people are so deeply rooted in SF that they can’t imagine the next major tech ecosystem developing anywhere else. But builders aren’t supposed to think about where everyone is today. They’re supposed to think about where the opportunities will be tomorrow. Capital moves. Talent follows. Ecosystems form. I’m not dumb enough to act like SF is dead. I’m saying you’d be stupid to assume it will be the only place that matters forever. The smartest builders think two moves ahead. Miami is the move. Don’t be a sheep.

the alpenglow upgrade, is that sub-second finality? excellent. excellent. and the transactions, are those still under a penny? beautiful, great. and the throughput, is that institutional grade? perfect. we’ll have all three for the table.

Anyone interpreting a16z dropping “crypto” from its name as bearish is missing the plot entirely… Crypto has a branding problem, not a technology problem. The goal was always mass adoption, it’s never been getting the entire world to identify as crypto people… The technology is bigger than the label. Catch up or shut up. *pours another glass of wine*

So incredibly proud of @AgentM_Tech!Watching brilliant people you love make big moves never gets old. Genuinely the best in the business. BNB Standard is lucky to have you. So bullish on what’s ahead for you 🤍

There should be a quest where it’s Art Basel and you’re just sitting on this same strip of highway for 3 hours in standstill traffic

I just know every app developer is super thrilled to have to optimize for the pretentious pricks who bought this dumb excessive phone apple is pushing out

if i send you this, i watched 3 technical videos at 2x speed and now people are making decisions based on my expertise

How many years have you been in crypto? I’m trying to see something…

If you check my track record, I’ve never really taken an L Not because things always worked out the way I planned, but because every time something didn’t go my way, I figured out how to make something better happen. I’ve lost opportunities, walked away from things I worked hard for, and had to start over more than once… And somehow, every single time, I ended up further ahead. You really have no idea how much your life can change when you refuse to give up on yourself.

I’d marry this man I think
