Akshay is one of the highest signal to noise ratio person in crypto (arguably not really crypto anymore now but still invested) He is one of the few reasons I put 80% of my portfolio in $SOL in summer 2023 And was telling me to look at $ZEC in early 2025 He is also the guy who coined “Internet Capital markets” at Solana He is now laying out how the future of tokenization is about to send a whole lot of smaller businesses in another dimension and why indexes probably underperform in the future Akshay as a tendency to be joining organizations (as an operator) and trends (as an investor) right before their inflection point: He’s done it with Uber as an early employee, what Atoms was before (years ago), Solana around 2021/22, Zcash in early 2025 and probably a lot of other trends I am not aware of nor dont understand Would pay attention when he says something I remember @kashdhanda saying in his list of how to make it to “invest in something when Akshay tells you to do so” There are a handful of people who can read (and build) the future better than almost everyone else and Akshay is definitely one of them

David @friedberg on the hypocrisy of @RoKhanna: "This is some dude who has a $300M net worth. His children have memberships at 3 country clubs." "The dude lives in a $10M house in Washington, DC." "And he used to be the moderate Silicon Valley guy who would go around to all the tech CEOs and founders and VCs and be like, 'Give me your money. I'm a moderate. We're going to make the Democratic Party work for you.'" "Then he saw the tides change, and he's like, 'Oh, this is yum, yum. I'm going to run for president in 2028.'" "Just to be clear on this, he is so unlikable, I think he'll likely end up being Secretary of Housing and Urban Development if AOC is elected president." "I do not disagree with him or Gavin or anyone else that tax policy in America is fucked up." "When billionaires borrow against their unrealized capital gains, they should pay capital gains tax. Capital gains tax should be 40%, not 15% or 18% or 20%. In fact, labor should pay less. Income tax should be much lower. Capital gains should be much higher. That would be a fair tax policy." "I don't know a lot of people who are wealthy who will look me in the eye and truly disagree with that." "It's a lot of bullshit when we all say, 'It incentivizes investment.' Great, it incentivizes investment. What are you going to do with your excess capital if the tax rate is 40% versus 20%? You're not gonna invest it now? Of course you're going to fucking invest it." "But instead of those practical solutions like I just laid out, they're all like, 'Let's go fire up the fucking socialist train because it's worked so well in fucking Cuba and Venezuela and the Soviet Union and all these other places.'" "What both parties are missing is a policy agenda that says: Here's the shit we have to do to keep America from going down the socialist death spiral. And they all should be fucking doing it, both sides."

A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes thanks to a newly approved, non-invasive ultrasound treatment. For years, 72-year-old Air Force veteran Bud Leavell struggled with severe tremors that kept him from living life to its fullest. Then doctors at UT Southwestern used focused ultrasound waves to target precise areas deep in his brain... without opening his skull. At his latest follow-up, the tremor remained under control. His response when asked how he was doing? “What tremor?”
