Full transparency on @morifinance_: One of our current @SuperteamUSA members (Valiron) introduced us to Pavan back in September. It was immediately clear he was a phenomenal prospect, and once we learned he had committed to raising through @MetaDAOProject, we moved quickly to onboard him. While we’ve only worked with Pavan for a short time, we’re armed and ready to do everything we can to help make Mori Finance the next massive MetaDAO success story.

Great founders bring great founders. Back in September, Valiron, one of our Superteam USA teams, introduced us to Pavan and what he was building with Mori Finance. We immediately saw the potential and moved quickly to bring him into the ecosystem ahead of his MetaDAO raise. We’re incredibly bullish on @Pavankat and @morifinance_ , and we’re putting the full weight of our network behind helping them succeed. This is what Superteam USA is all about. Exceptional founders supporting exceptional founders, and building the next generation of successful companies on Solana.

Superteam USA has officially crossed the pond 🇬🇧 We’re on the ground at Hacker House London! Catch our CMO, @Amystreet, leading a workshop on November 10th, or just come say hello. Always happy to meet more builders.

🎧 Big thanks to @SuperteamUSA for inviting us last night! @thelabmiami was jam-packed for @GoogleDeepMind’s build night with @DeepStationAI. Blockster’s Lidia Yadlos joined the builders in Wynwood, where @thorwebdev showed what Gemini can do with voice and music.

Our event is fully subscribed for tonight’s Google DeepMind AI Build Night in Miami. 500 builders. One room. Lots of building. Miami tech is alive and well. See you at @thelabmiami

Our CMO @amystreet on why constantly shilling your project from your personal account before you have traction is a losing play. From her founder-led marketing webinar series. More sessions coming soon.

I interviewed for C-suite roles TWICE with CZ and team @binance after working at the OG Bittrex Exchange for 5+ years across product, listings, and markets, etc. Here's some Halloween thoughts on the hack from a business-side exchange insider who learned a few things form elite legal, compliance, and security engineering teams: Don't keep your coins on an exchange unless you plan to trade imminently. There will ALWAYS be security risk. Regulatory risk. Illiquidity risk. Compliance risk. We never had an incident. I doubt Coinbase or Kraken ever will. But the risk will never be zero. Binance did the right thing refunding users (from what we can see). The US exchanges have at least some hot wallet insurance coverage, but that only limits the damage akin to FDIC limits. So what do you do? Not your keys not your crypto? My advice: If you just want to hold BTC, buy something like MSBT on interactive brokers. Low trading fees. Low cost ETF is well worth the 15 yearly basis points or whatever and is actually the highest possible security imho when you factor in private key mismanagement issues. Or get 1password. Choose your favorite app-based wallet with an impeccable security history and secure keys there. Avoid hardware wallets. Don't tell anyone you own crypto. Could talk about security for hours but have a Halloween party to get to. AMA. Stay SAFU fam!
