Polymarket's US business hit all-time highs in every metric this weekend, and became the #3 app in America. Polymarket US only launched publicly on May 12. Tech is now ready for scale. And scale we shall.

Excited to announce that @travisv has joined Polymarket as Chief Growth Officer. From being TK's growth lead at Uber, to CRO of Yammer under Sacks, to being founder and CEO of Bird (responsible for both my love of Paris and a couple bloody chins) When it comes to growing marketplaces, nobody does it better. This time with software instead of hardware. Welcome to the team.

Hal Finney said in 2010 that Bitcoin would NOT solely scale as money. He was right. STRC is what he meant. @YChoueifaty says tokenized STRC is perfect for billions of people who have nothing but dollars in a mattress. @apyx_fi, @bucktoken & others are already building it. 👇

Gold is eternal. It’s the largest store of value in human history—over $21 trillion—and physically indestructible. But after 8 years running a physical gold fund, I realized something shocking: Bitcoin is better. Here’s why 🧵

$STRC has traded $50m of volume today, above $100. A material % of that volume is likely converted into ATM sales. The fiat money machine has been activated. Excess return and excess risk of $STRC accrues to $MSTR via Bitcoin CAGR underwriting Year 1 of Digital Credit 🟩👆🏼

I personally think it’s hilarious that thousands of the world’s most brilliant PhDs devote their lives to perfecting hedge fund algorithms, only to severely underperform Bitcoin.

Predicting the future price of BTC-TCs is a 3D vector equation: Price = BTC Price x BTC per Share x mNAV When you understand where all three are heading, the future becomes clear. ⚡ Hint: They're all linear on a log-log chart.

Replying to @AdamBLiv
that's what months to cover is for, to realize that within not many months, if prior accretion rate continues, it would be at 1x mNAV basis to you, then you can ride the accumulating flywheel with a 1x mNAV floor under you. (assuming there's no excessive debt etc)

Most Americans expect their presidential candidate to change their lives in four years but doubt bitcoin will. November 6, 2012: $11.23 November 8, 2016: $709 November 3, 2020: $13,600 Think again.

Wow. President Trump just announced he will create a strategic national bitcoin stockpile for the US government. No longer will he allow the government to commit the cardinal sin of bitcoin --- "never sell your bitcoin!"

From @Citi spokesperson (not great news for PPP data accuracy): “Citi has not funded a PPP loan for Bird. Citi will seek the assistance of the SBA to ensure that the agency’s data accurately reflects actual PPP lending.”
Bird spoke with Citi early on, but decided not to apply for PPP b/c the money was more deserved by small and local businesses. Citi will confirm this. Not sure how we made the PPP list, but we're investigating.
