AI has collapsed the cost of trying things. The scarce investment left is time. These are three bets I'm making with mine.

  1. The firm is shrinking to one expert.

    Everything that isn't judgment becomes a service.

    instance: shorterday. We run the busywork for expert shops. Lawyers and forensic accountants so far.

  2. Crypto's endgame is stablecoin payments.

    The rails work. Adoption is won at the application layer.

    instance: firstrun. Activation consulting for stablecoin apps, built on my years in crypto.

  3. Tech should heal instead of hurt.

    The algorithms stealing our time and addicting us are worth trillions. The industries that defend us will be just as big.

    instance: proofwell, a screen-time app.

Otherwise: faith, family, friends, lifting, running, music, drawing, writing, travel, Bangla and Spanish. A smaller, more deliberate life.
