Proof SF is a bubble. I wonder if there were protests and flyers when cars surpassed the horse and buggy and the printing press was replaced by digital media. Innovation inevitably leaves people behind.

Congrats to the 6 teams in the most recent Hydropower Fellowship! Excited to see what they continue building on Sui. Here's some more info on the teams: @AssetoFinance is a leading RWA tokenization infrastructure provider, offering end-to-end capabilities across tokenized asset architecture, compliance structuring, and cross-chain deployment. @audricai is making crypto-native finance feel like texting. Non-custodial wallet setup in under three seconds, no seed phrase, gasless transactions on Sui accessible through conversational messaging. Send, save, and swap by message. @gendotpro is an autonomous social media agent that grows your brand on autopilot. It identifies trends, generates video content, deploys across platforms, measures performance, and continuously optimizes - every day, without human input. @kash_bot is a social-first prediction market that meets users where they already are - turning your social feed into a prediction feed. Lower friction, broader reach, and a UX designed for people who have never touched a prediction market before. @predikt_gg is rethinking what prediction market positions can be. Instead of illiquid, single-use bets, Predikt turns those positions into synthetic yield-bearing assets - built on a crosschain coordination and execution layer that aggregates liquidity and access. @transact_sh is building the financial infrastructure layer for AI agents. As agents take on real operational roles inside companies, they need to be integrated into fiscal systems - with spend oversight, governance, and accountability built in.

Easy money opportunities companies are not taking advantage of: putting your treasury to work through yield bearing stablecoins. Idle cash —> Sui Dollar —> Rewards for holding The more cash you store as Sui Dollar, the more free money you’ll generate. USDC and USDT will not do this for you. Sui Dollar will.

You don’t need to eat pray love your way into another continent to find meaning outside of the tech bubble. You can break the psychosis just by talking to people outside of tech or visiting cities where the larp isn’t the end goal. Go to Philly, have 32 cheesesteaks, run up the Rocky steps, and you’ll be healed for at least 3 months.

Fun SF date ideas for the weekend: 1. Stand in line for the AP x Swatch collection (you both get 1 and resell) 2. Haggle for Alphonso mangos 3. Attend a wasian or chindian event, bonus points if you are one of the couples 4. Discuss your preferred peptide strategy together

“Sui doesn’t have a narrative” “Sui is dead” “Sui is a stablecoin” “Sui is building the best tech stack” “Sui is the next Solana” “Sui is the settlement layer of the future” With the advancements in AI, Sui Move has never been easier to learn. The barrier now is the incentive to move (haha) to a new coding language or start with Move initially. Why you should build with Sui and in the ecosystem: - Hashi allows institutions to put their BTC to work. Earn yield and activate BTC movement directly through the Sui validator network - Sui Dollar, the yield generating stablecoin, allows companies to passively earn rewards on idle cash flows and treasuries - DeepBook is the liquidity layer with Margin, Spot, and now Predict live to build with. Build the best frontends for the primitives - AI agents will need tech that can handle large volume processing and low costs to transact. @b1ackd0g built the Move language with non-human interaction in mind (fast, volume ready, and low cost) - Walrus, Nautilus, and Seal are a prime use case for AI agent memory with access control and privacy - Core components of Move itself making it a secure language. When building in Move, issues with reenterancy are eliminated and token standards are more flexible for your purposes. The object oriented language enables bulk transactions (PTBs) possible. Sui is secure, fast, and easy to use

I’ve been searching for someone who makes engaging technical video content + connects well with engineers. For the right person would have a role for you. Video content inspo = @henloitsjoyce and @sodofi_ The door is open, just looking for someone to walk through it

Convert office buildings into apartments on Market Street. Hollow out the middle for added light. Add a Trader Joe’s on the bottom floor and a doorman for security. Solves vacant office buildings, adds more retail into dead parts of downtown, and builds up new communities for people excited about emerging tech and AI.
