. @TulsiGabbard and I first met during my time at X, right as we were building the Originals program and before her call to serve in President Trump’s administration. We spoke several times about creating something meaningful that would honor her remarkable journey: her courageous service to our country, her integrity, and the inspiration she offers so many. On our very first call, I had to laugh and admit I was having a total “fan girl” moment. We later co-hosted a dinner together in Las Vegas for potential clients. Tulsi owned the room. True interest and genuine admiration from everyone there. During every interaction Abe was right by her side. They truly are a great team. Tulsi and Abe, Godspeed on this next chapter. Claudio and I, along with millions of others, are keeping you both in our prayers. It’s a privilege to call you a friend. 🙏❤️

Does China just copy others? Let’s get real. The tired line “China copies but doesn’t innovate” completely misses how the world actually works. In Chinese culture, copying has always been a profound sign of respect and mastery. Take calligraphy, one of the pinnacle arts. The greatest masters didn’t chase wild originality from day one. They spent years meticulously copying the old masters, stroke by stroke. Perfect replication was the highest endorsement of genius. It proved you truly understood the essence. That same spirit lives on today. Yes, China copies, aggressively. But so does everyone. In business around the world, that’s exactly how it works. Look at any successful model: everyone copies and optimizes everyone else. The best restaurants, apps, retail concepts, SaaS products if something works, competitors study it, replicate the winning parts, then improve. Smart players don’t reinvent the wheel when a proven path exists. China takes this to another level while adding massive original creation. As of early 2026, they hold over 5.53 million valid invention patents (many high-value) and file nearly half of all global patent applications, leading the world by far. Copying what works + relentless innovation = powerful progress. It’s not weakness. It’s wisdom. Humility to learn + ambition to build better. Real advancement comes from studying the best, refining it, and pushing forward faster. China’s blend of ancient mastery mindset with modern scale is genuinely inspiring. What do you think, isn’t strategic copying one of the smartest moves in business and innovation?

every revolutionary movement follows the same arc: 1. idealists build something because the old system failed them 2. it works. attracts people who want the benefits but not the philosophy 3. money enters 4. mainstream users outnumber originals 100:1 5. ABSORPTION, the product evolves to serve the majority, loses “soul” 6. the originals feel betrayed, go underground or leave punk rock did this, open source did this, the internet did this, crypto is doing it right now. But the absorption is never total. encryption was classified as a literal weapon, cypherpunks fought a legal war just to export PGP, now E2E encryption is default on whatsapp alone for 3 billion people. Linux never won the desktop but it runs every server on earth. the revolution didn’t “die”, it just gets absorbed so completely nobody remembers it was one. Crypto has two paths from here. Path A: Absorption. 99% buy bitcoin through ETFs. AI agents settle payments on-chain because they can’t open bank accounts. crypto becomes invisible plumbing. nobody calls it “Crypto”, nobody cares about the philosophy, but permissionless rails run underneath everything. Path B: cascades of war, sanctions, currency collapse, institutional failure becomes a lived reality for millions at once. sovereignty stops being philosophy and becomes survival. the cypherpunk ethos stops being a subculture and becomes the default because the alternative already failed. the difference between path A and path B is just one crisis nobody saw coming. most people are only pricing in path A.

Original Tommy’s 80th anniversary turned into absolute chaos. 80 cent chili cheeseburgers had lines wrapped around the entire parking lot, packed drive thrus, and people waiting hours at spots across California and Nevada. I love burgers, but there’s zero chance I’m standing in line for over 10 minutes for one. Would you wait that long for an 80 cent burger?
