    Congrats on being named CEO of All Raise. Well-deserved!

    Thank you to & , who exactly 10 years ago, gave me my first "yes," investing in my startup, and opening a door to Silicon Valley that I've been working hard to expand and keep open for other underestimated leaders. There's power in sharing your power 👊🏽

    Moved to tears by watching President Zelensky address Congress. Incredibly effective how it progressed from opening with a translator speaking to before/after videos of destruction inflicted by the invasion to hearing him conclude with a call for more support in English.

    (8/8) This thing should be able to empower the editor as the key figure. People with a point of view and the ability to distinctly separate the good stuff from the bad, have a lot of value.

    (7/8) What would happen to an economy when you can really promote information entrepreneurship? What is a scarce commodity on the Net? Not information. There's too much of it. People find they are overwhelmed by stuff. How to get to the good stuff? They need an editor.

    (5/8) There is a question whether anonymous transactions will be permitted. Cash is an anonymous transaction. You could have the same facility on the Net.. But what are the social costs and consequences of this?

    (1/8) From an unpublished 1994 interview I did with Nelson Aldrich, R.I.P., musings on cryptocurrency, anonymity, and managing information overload. Alternately, scarily accurate and wildly off base.
