Just had the rare chance of getting a true glimpse into the future.

Being of the first 50 people or do to demo the Orion, I was able to first hand experience the tech that will hit the market in 2-3 years.

All I can say is: Wow.

It’s essentially the Apple Vision Pro but packed into the size of regular glasses, weighing less than 100 grams, a truly unnoticeable weight on your face. Also this is AR not MR, which means you see my real eyes and I can see the real world around me. Combined with the neural control wristband, you’re able to navigate seamlessly even better than how the AVP was controlled.

I am an XR bull but I’d never have imagined we get this before 2030, even less so that it is working today. Holy shit. Long XR. 2024-09-27 01:19:26 Just had the rare c.. 0 -100% 23 +129%
2022-2024 has been one of the toughest markets to raise for startup founders and VCs. But with the right process founders still make it happen. Yesterday I, alongside colleagues, coached a16z s latest speedrun cohort on best strategies to raise capital for their early stage gaming/AI startups. 

A few core takeaways that resonated with founders:
1. Run a structured process (decks, data room, regular yet respectful cadence, monthly updates)
2. Be high conviction on your vision and abilities, yet transparent on weaknesses, and realistic on valuation
3. Build the relationship even if not a yes at first… capital raising is a long game.

There’s a perfect storm brewing:
1. Bitcoin ETF
2. >$10bn in bankruptcy court cash payouts to crypto natives

5. Presidential elections and a likely changing of the guard amongst regulators 
6. Settlement with Binance

Money flows where attention goes. My bet on the metaverse and spatial computing is simple. Each generation is progressively spending more time and placing more value on their digital lives. Naturally the infrastructure, content, and assets of the digital world will continue to see more investment and radical improvement in quality. To think that the place we spend 75% of our day will remain flat and un-immersive is equivalent to early humans believing that we will forever live in caves and huts. We will improve the places we spend most time, and spatial in the next stage of the web. 2023-12-03 19:30:00 Money flows where attenti.. 0 -100% 5 -50%
We may be less than 40 days out from the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. In early January the SEC must give its final decision on ARKs submission, with no further ability to delay. My bet, based on the recent grayscale court decision and continuous firsts like the DTCC listings, is that this time will be it.

Couple days ago Cointelegraph falsely claimed that the Bitcoin ETF got approved and it sent the market rallying. After it came out that the leak was false, the market initially pulled back but quickly went right back to growing. This false alarm was a trial run of what would happen if the ETF is approved and clearly it has not been priced in yet. The next deadline for approval is coming up soon! 2023-10-21 03:05:17 Couple days ago Cointeleg.. 110 +25% 1 -90%
One of the hardest things to get right in order to capture the hockey stick of emerging technologies is one thing: Timing.

Two years ago I started betting the house on XR with an initial focus on VR. This was motivated by (primarily) two fundamental shifts of the XR landscape:

1. Distribution:

VR has broken out of the early adopter stage as it now sells more units than Xbox and on par with PlayStation. Today’s numbers make it the leading console, but with the launch of Quest3, Apple Vision Pro, and Google’s XR OS, the industry will grow out of the console segment and into mainstream computing alongside mobile and desktop, making the TAM 100x the current size. But even if that takes a while, the market is big enough to build unicorns.

2. Product Market Fit

VR for long was a cool gadget in search of a use case. Today you have startups making 7-8 figures in revenue outside just gaming, in segments like VR fitness, meditation, and collaboration/productivity. Whoever is able to build a thriving business in a limited market will have their boat lifted by the tide.

The way humans approach nearly every technological innovation, is with fear. We are so afraid of losing the familiar that we fail to see the opportunity in front of us. AI can either “steal” your job, or it can be the tool that lifts quality of life across the board and moves us away from the factory style work culture of the 20th century. 2023-10-06 21:30:00 The way humans approa.. 0 -100% 1 -90%

When raising capital for a tech startup you need to walk the fine line of pitching the future (your vision) along with your past (your capabilities).

Lacking either will lead to you being seen as just a dreamer/talker, or a good business builder, but not somebody that can achieve venture style returns (10-20x) 2023-10-04 21:30:00 When raising capital for .. 61 -31% 1 -90%
There’s a unique intersection between VR, AI, and Blockchain. Blockchain based identity protocols with a “Proof of Humanity”, may just be one of the few paths that ensures that virtual worlds will not be botted with armies of AI NPCs with economics or political agendas.

When I was 20 I saw raykurzweil, one of the worlds most renown futurists, in person. I had grown up on his writings like “The Singularity is Near”, yet it was this talk that really stuck with me over the years. During his keynote he shared the idea that around the year 2020 (which at the time lay in the future), we’d reach escape velocity when it comes to aging. This means we’d be able to extend our lifespan by at least one year per year, due to medical and technological breakthroughs. He gave the advice that anyone under 50 should work on making sure to preserve their health and youth as much as possible, because by the time this decade comes around we’d be able to meaningfully slow and reverse aging. Now that it’s the year 2023 and we’re seeing an increasing meaningful discourse on the matter, by people like bryanjohnson_ peterattiamd davidsinclairphd and many others, I’m excited to see yet another paradigm shifting industry break into the mainstream and get the attention and funding it needs to truly disrupt the one constant that may… just may be a variable… death. 2023-09-29 22:55:24 When .. 55 -37% 0 -100%
While the bear market drags on, crypto is improving meaningfully under the hood. One of the biggest projects the ethereum foundation is working on is wallet abstraction.

105 days on Blueprint plus other longevity practices, and one of the things that catches my attention is what a natural aversion people have to supplementing. People will have no issue guzzling down a Starbucks with 50 grams of sugar, deplete of any nutrients, but bring the pitch forks when next level supplementation is suggested. 

Couple non-medical suggestions:
1) test your blood work and isolate deficiencies
2) try to get nutrients from food, but use supplementation as a guarantee that you get what you need daily 
3) quality matters. Most supplement companies are packed with filler and cheap ingredients, paying premium is usually worth it here. 
4) there is a huge difference between “healthy” levels and “optimal” levels. Old school Doctors will say you are good to go as long as you’re 1 basis point above the clinical healthy level, but forget to tell you that you might be health-ier, more alert/vital, etc insert adjective.. if you scored higher. It’s the difference of wanting fine blood results or excellent blood results. 

My take on supplements: if it does not hurt me, and make me incrementally better, it’s worth the expense and 15 min a week to prep

100 days down on my longevity lifestyle change. 

Nearly four months ago I was in the final haul of a 5 year sprint (yes sprint not marathon). Calls as early as 8 am and as late as midnight, the occasional 4 am wake up to check on charts, switching from deep analytical HF work to firefighting with startups. Dopamine receptors were already broken from mind bending winning months, and anxiety a regular occurrence from everything ranging from FTX, to three letter agencies performing a witch hunt on the space, all the way to the North Koreans (a tale for another time). Sleep deprivation and uppers were the solution through the never ending sprint. Fridge of course, always empty, hence sole input was Uber eats with no exercise.

The problem is guilt driven hustle doesn’t serve you or your clients. It’s like when the battery of a remote is empty and you shake it to get another click or two out of it, instead of replacing the damn batteries.

Instagram often promotes hustle culture to the max and so I’d say a few things: 
1) It works. Hard word works. It’s not sexy. It will wear you down, but it works, and most “work life balance” stuff is written by people that don’t want to be champions.
2) The error lies not in too much work but too little discipline. I was applying 100% of my discipline to work, and 0% to other areas. The work doesn’t change, but if you eat like shit, don’t exercise, and replace sleep with coffee, your body will make it harder and harder for you to give 100% to work. 
3) Burn-out can be undone. I always thought I’d be working off my burnout for like three years the moment I’d take my foot of the gas, but in the end I was able to undo ‘most’ of my burnout in 90 days following a strict longevity regimen (everything from 8-9 hours of sleep in temp controlled room, no processed foods or sugar, organic only, testing >100 biomarkers with ~50 supplements, Red light/sauna/cold, weights and zone 2/3, and more.) 

Now off to becoming immortal and a new era of domination. 2023-09-26 03:27:00 .. 230 +161% 19 +89%
Moving to a new city is probably one of the most powerful tools to redefine your trajectory by making sure your surrounding aligns with your goals. Moving to LA six years ago was the right move at the right time as it was blooming into a web3 hub, and equally moving to Miami at the time was the right move at the right time as much of the tech and finance world began their migration while other states fumbled amidst the p*ndemic. 

While the markets are slow I’ve been spending more time again looking into how I can take my/my firms presence more global, going beyond the US/euro centric world view. In the latest YouTube video I share some of my mental models at how to use migration and geographic access at different stages of your life/career. The bottom line is you’re probably not optimizing your location enough and settled for what coincidentally became a constant in your life. 2023-09-24 01:32:28 Moving to a new city .. 121 +38% 14 +39%
Back a viral video game ✅ 

Last week after 18 months in quiet R&D we finally announced thebornlessgame to the world. And the team and ourselves were shocked at the results. After a nice calm start with a few thousand wishlists a day, we started getting viral everywhere from Chinese YouTube to TikTok. All the sudden we’re gaining 10k wishlists a day (and still are). Bornless is now one of the top 500 most wished games in the world at over 55,000 wishlist adds 🔥

Here comes the rare plug: the Metaverse fund is closing soon and if you are accredited you can still join and be part of amazing startups like cathedral studios, shapesXR, DressX, Redpill and so many more amazing segment leaders we’ve backed.
