Twitter, Parag, Elon

ट्विटरका सिइओले भने, ‘अहिलेसम्म कमै बोलेँ तर अब बोल्नेछु’
एलन मस्क ट्रम्पमाथि नरम र बाइडेनमाथि किन कडा ?

A lot has happened over the past several weeks. I’ve been focused on the company and haven't said much publicly during this time, but I will now.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

We announced changes to our leadership team and operations yesterday. Changes impacting people are always hard. And some have been asking why a “lame-duck” CEO would make these changes if we’re getting acquired anyway. The short answer is very simple:

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

While I expect the deal to close, we need to be prepared for all scenarios and always do what’s right for Twitter. I’m accountable for leading and operating Twitter, and our job is to build a stronger Twitter every day.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

No one at Twitter is working just to keep the lights on. We take pride in our work. Regardless of the company’s future ownership, we’re here improving Twitter as a product and business for customers, partners, shareholders, and all of you.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

People have also asked: why manage costs now vs after close? Our industry is in a very challenging macro environment – right now. I won’t use the deal as an excuse to avoid making important decisions for the health of the company, nor will any leader at Twitter.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

So what can you expect from me going forward? I’m still focused on doing the job, and that includes making hard decisions as needed. I will continue to embrace the deep complexities of our service and our business. And you can expect more change for the better.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

I will also try to bring more transparency to the work that we do. You won’t see tweets from me on the ‘topic of the day’ or the loudest sound bite, but rather on the ongoing, continuous, and challenging work our teams are doing to improve the public conversation on Twitter.

— Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022

Finally – so much gratitude for our whole Twitter team. They have stood strong and focused, sharp and agile. They've been doing the work, as they always have. Onward.

I want to hire more women.
Send me more women.

got my nails done the other day and the older Korean woman doing them reminded me of my mom. I thought of my mom who, in her 60s is still changing bedsheets and doing laundry at my dad’s motel. for so many reasons, I felt a wave of guilt wash over me…first gen guilt is so real

Probably GOOG. 5% is a lot so I wouldn’t plunk it into something super risky.

But still tons of upside for GOOG - they are constantly innovating w wildcard bets - self-driving cars to health projects.

And continued growth in existing gold mines: ads, enterprise, etc

I'd recommend showing a bit more empathy towards your team. Care for them personally & professionally. People quit managers not companies.

Know a guy who bought a hill near a highway for $70k - scraped and sold $5mil worth of dirt and rock off it until it was a flat, road grade lot.

Built storage on half of lot - will sell for $10mil and sell rest of land for $2mil to developer 😝

Bitcoin Supper

fine, thanks ----- welcome to twitter

Coinbase is ten years old. Some highs and lows, but I couldn’t be more optimistic about what we’re building. It’s just the beginning…. @coinbase pic.twitter.com/1LYhrXQ0Fu

Everyone is scared #coinbase can take your assets if they go bankrupt. You know your bank can do the same thing, right? 🤡

What happened to the $3.5 billion in Bitcoin purchased as a reserve by the foundation set up by the creators of the failed Terra block? https://t.co/GGxqMGXGUY

We continue to build! With Coinbase Pay Web3 devs can tap into Coinbase's 98M customers, take advantage of the fiat rails we built and allow users to easily purchase and move crypto into their apps. @MetaMask and @CoinbaseWallet already using it. https://t.co/g5dGbjLYes

Both Coinbase and Celsius have this notated in the terms and agreements. I'm pretty sure most others as well. Just take your #Bitcoin off the exchanges. This is also the reason price is being manipulated. Not your keys, you pay the fees ! pic.twitter.com/ujxHTnLbX1

— Coach.P (@CoachP_BTC) May 14, 2022

Today I learned 99% of cryptocurrency transactions happen on centralized exchanges like Coinbase & Binance which dont write to the blockchain but instead to their own SQL databases.

Obvious in hindsight since blockchains are too slow & unscalable to build a product like Coinbase https://t.co/uUS5Z2tS6y

— Dare Obasanjo (@Carnage4Life) May 13, 2022

Btw the @coinbase disclaimer was standard, media reaction was classic FUD-mongering in fearful times.

Coinbase is not a company I'm worried about going bankrupt.

Nationalism: A Definition

Love the Russian government logic’s : 1) Ukrainian citizens carrying Ukrainian flags are by default nationalists
2) In order for them to not be nationalists, they need to carry the Russian flag instead

In early stages of kicking off a @Wefunder campaign, and got my first investment from a family member. really means a lot 😭. i believe inclusive platforms are the unlock for capitalizing the 'other' 99% of founders barred from traditional VC investors.
