I worked at Goldman Sachs for 8 years and then went to Uber and worked there for 7 years.
One of the biggest realizations I had when I got to tech was that people weren’t obsessed with money.
The contrast between my finance friends and literally everyone else was striking.
At Goldman, money was all anyone talked about. Money was the product. The clients were just about making money. There was nothing else.
When I would go back to hang out with my finance friends, all they wanted to know was how much money I was making and how much equity I had in Uber. No one else in my life did that. Just the finance guys.
Was weird. At Uber it simply wasn’t like that. People didn’t actually talk about money. People talked about the product, the business, the customers, the strategy.
Crypto can very much have both. The numbers are great for the dopamine hits. But it’s always important to find the things outside of the money, money, money vortex that give you path and motivation.

What are the best explanations out there for why mining rewards shrinking substantially on BTC won't create a BTC security threat in the next 10-15 years?
As bearish as I was on Loudio I didn’t expect it to be down this bad. $1.8mn market cap in less than a week. A week ago it had 70% market share. It’s now 67% lower than the bottom estimate of @waleswoosh’s $5mn-$200mn range.
- building a $1.6bn revenue business - growing revenue 2x in 2 years - a full-on national regulatory movement to serve stablecoins - sustaining a global duopoly for multiple years - stablecoins become a global buzzword - receiving multiple multi-billion dollar buy-out offers - even after going up 4x, market cap is below where crypto markets value $HYPE or $DOGE
and CT says “whoa! This is easy! Every crypto project should go public!”
Trump yesterday tweeted that $TRUMP is the "tracker of the President's success" on his Truth Social platform. Meanwhile, his family's WLFI is shorting $TRUMP on 10x leverage. The Trump crypto empire is currently a bit of a mess.
