Trump II offers crypto welcome regulatory wins — and big reputational risks Market watchdogs are working together, IPOs are back, and Polymarket is eyeing a U.S. return. But the First Family's grifting looms large.

In the latest #w3w newsletter: Imho the #crypto industry should beware 🍊's constant grifting. It could eventually create a public perception headache for *everyone,* in a way that makes the FTX fallout look like a day at the beach. In the Bahamas, if you will.

AI's impact on jobs won't be just about the tech Whether new tools help or harm human workers may depend less on the software itself and more on who's in charge.

In the latest #w3w newsletter, I think I just set the world record for most work ever put in by a pair of parentheses. 😹

This edition also amplifies some important takes by others re: perhaps the most burning question in #AI: How will it affect employment?

Tech's money machine is evolving For better or worse, crypto treasuries and Uncle Sam are transforming Silicon Valley's funding landscape radically.

Emerging tech's toolmakers are winning. Ethereum stakers and Nvidia's AI-fueled chip sales highlight an old lesson about market booms.

In the latest #w3w newsletter, we consider the examples of Nvidia in #AI and #Ethereum stakers in #crypto. The common thread: They’re making money off emerging tech without leveraging themselves to the big product breakthroughs most outsiders tend to associate with each category. Hmm…

How 2025's tech bull isn't like earlier runs The first half's gains were fueled by AI and bitcoin — with a big helping of chaos on the side.

Genius Act clears U.S. Senate, underscoring crypto’s political maturation On an increasingly bipartisan basis, Washington is starting to treat digital assets as finance, not fad.

Big updates re: #stablecoins in the latest #w3w newsletter.

Notable that 18 Dems voted with the majority in the Senate's recent passage of the Genius Act by a 68-30 margin. Increasingly, the party seems to be revisiting its harder policy line on #crypto in the Biden era. Hmmm...

Web3 is losing the battle to decentralize AI. A blockchain-driven future for AI is still possible. But it's rapidly slipping out of reach as Big Tech pads its lead.

The potential intersection of #web3 and #AI seems promising. But in fact. real-world implementation has been woefully lagging. Exploring this problem in the latest #w3w newsletter...

On-chain, the dollar looks immune to U.S. turmoil Stablecoin issuers are raking in yields, landing venture deals, and moving billions — no Fed intervention required.

In the latest #w3w newsletter: Circle's IPO filing made it a big week for #stablecoins. Turns out there are serious businesses to be built atop tokens designed to do nothing in dollar terms, and even when USD faces headwinds in conventional forex markets. Hmmm...

Yes, that was a market crash. Duh. Wikipedia is still unpacking how to accurately describe the S&P’s slide. This should be an easy call.

Slate reports that Wikipedia editors are still unpacking how to accurately describe the S&P 500’s recent slide. Should be an easy call, in my opinion. Full explanation why in the latest #w3w newsletter. #markets #tariffs #tech #web3

Like something out of a social-media meme, 🍊's presidency isn't exactly going as #crypto investors expected. A crazy factoid: Since he took office Jan. 20, #bitcoin, #ether, and global crypto market cap are all down. Offering my take on why in my latest latest #w3w newsletter.

Considering the Free World ex America Even sans a certain superpower, the combined capabilities of global democracies may be more than we think.

Latest #w3w newsletter leads with its first guest post ever, from Jon Shell, chairman of Social Capital Partners in Toronto. Timely stuff given the week's news surrounding Ukraine and the future of the post-WWII Western alliance.
