A bit about me and my crypto journey. Thank you to every last person who has ever got involved in any way. It has been a massive team effort to bring this "pirate" movement to mainstream acceptance. I am a lawyer and venture capitalist from New Zealand who has lived in 11 different countries for over 6 months each. Australia, Japan and England all for over 6 years. I was an early user of the internet in the late 1980s. I queued to buy Windows 95. I helped run a large tech fund in the late 1990s. I got very interested in BitGold in 1998 and got super excited. I still am. I could immediately see how crypto currencies would even the financial playing field. A young kid in Africa could now potentially take their whole village from total poverty to massive wealth. Anyone could become a bank overnight. Blockchain technology has unlimited user cases and benefits. Bit Gold was never implemented, but its concepts were. 11 years later. Bitcoin and then other currencies have steadily been developed. I began teaching about social media in 2007 and especially Twitter from 2009 and wrote the first book about online branding. I pioneered Twitter chats, the scheduling of posts and worked for Twitter Japan. I was the first to sell an ebook for Bitcoin in 2012. Using a wordpress payment plugin. I then made an encyclopedia about the first 220 currencies and even interviewed some of the founders. I got a bit disillusioned because of Mt Gox before getting back in in May 2015. I bought the first ever crypto related NFT. I hosted Bitcoin Blab a daily video discussion about crypto and traveled extensively attending and speaking at crypto conferences. For 2 years from September 2015 to September 2017 I was the number 2 influencer about Bitcoin on Twitter. After the Bitcoin account itself. See the screenshots below taken 2 years apart. I have always wanted to know and then share everything. Super excited now as the golden age of crypto begins with the new SEC and overall renewed energy in the whole space. Now that the President of the USA is openly endorsing and promoting crypto the only way is up. I hope you enjoy the news and insights I post. Ask me anything.🚀🚀🚀

Houses in Australia are about three or four times overpriced right now. When AI tools finally start being used about 10 million who have mortgages will no longer be able to pay them. House prices are determined by the amount of mortgage people are prepared and able to pay

I've been reading that Obama thinks that he was a better president for the environment than Trump. Which prompted me to look at the facts. Actually year on year CO2 levels rose faster under Obama then Trump. Always look at what these people do not at what they say

Do you now believe that the singularity is here?

This book about leadership is awesome

Mark this trend down as terrifying. Do you have any examples yourself? AI is quickly programming us to write and speak differently. We need to stop using it to write anything immediately. For example since Chat GPT launched, usage of the word "delve" has increased by around 1,000%. 10 times. AI frequently uses words like delve, and people are starting to copy that style. Another common pattern that is increasing rapidly is to start by validating a statement in a very unnatural way. For example "That's actually a very real problem" The influence of AI isn’t just online. Evidence suggests humans are increasingly using AI-favored words in everyday speech, creating a feedback loop where AI shapes the language of the people who trained it. In basic terms the human that programmed the AI is now being programmed by the AI It's reality is influencing our reality. Once we lose language we will become robotic ourselves and we may as well just give up.

Now running my business and even my life with Codex. I'm getting 10 times as much done as a year ago. It's incredible. You don’t need to be a developer or working on software to use Codex. It goes beyond coding and is especially useful for tasks that require more than a single answer—like gathering information from multiple sources, creating and updating files, or producing outputs such as documents, slides, and spreadsheets. Codex can connect to tools, take action, and help you get things done. For example, you might ask Codex to: Pull information from your emails, Slack, notes, and dashboards Make a slide deck from source materials Create a digital assistant to organize your day Build a simple dashboard Create a working app or landing page Fix a broken workflow Update a set of files Automate a mundane task Try it out!

Pensions in Australia are only 59% of minimum wage. How the heck are people supposed to live on that? Barely covers rent.
