Ok, this is the best way to wrap up the week. Time to burn my ears!
the new album LOSE YOUR SELF out now.
Thoughts
Thoughts, ideas, and musings shared on @adlrocha. My Twitter diary.
I am genuinely excited about this idea I'm building with my spare cycles. It can really improve the quality of the software we ship!
If the results are good I am planning to open-source it.
Me parece brillante. Prompt injected by your teacher!
He introducido un regalito en el enunciado de un trabajo que he marcado a mi alumnado: Una única frase, pero escrita con letra blanca sobre fondo blanco (difícilmente visible para ellos, pero accesible si copias y pegas en un prompt). Y… me lo estoy pasando pipa corrigiendo.
This fills me with joy 🤩
I finally got around to vibecoding 🍺Corrs Light, a Baselight-powered spurious correlation tech demo. Live now at https://corrslight.xyz/.
The main reason why I am still using Claude Code is because is super configurable, and I extensively use hooks to improve my coding flow.
But I have to admit that I am coming back to opencode more and more these days!
I am catching up with all the Mythos developments, and fuck me, this image in itself gives me the creeps.
This is a crazy bump in capabilities! We need value-aligned engineers around more than ever.
There was a time when seeing this much red in Github meant a day off. Time changes, and some people are declaring a day off because Claude is red :)
Once again, always have a fallback :)
It’s so cute watching states negotiate ever-increasing deficits. I get the mechanics and why it happens… but let’s stop calling it a ‘deficit.’ The only deficit worth targeting is ≤ 0.
Let’s call it “spending sparkle” or “fiscal enthusiasm”.
This made me laugh out loud. I love Silicon Valley (the TV Show)
“I make a New OpenAI, New Anthropic, and New Google. Good luck, Americans”
Actually, this is a great topic for a newsletter post :)
I was used to opening all technical interviews with the following question: "describe what happens when you open a web page". Depending on the candidate's background they would describe the lifecycle of a request and go deep into how the browser works, javascript, HTTP, DNS, IP,
I was used to opening all technical interviews with the following question: "describe what happens when you open a web page".
Depending on the candidate's background they would describe the lifecycle of a request and go deep into how the browser works, javascript, HTTP, DNS, IP, or even go deep into ARP and machine code. It was a great way of calibrating the candidate's knowledge and depth.
These days I am more into the question of "what happens when you buy a stock". For this one you can get into brokers, market makers, the clearing house, settlement layers, etc.
It is crazy how fast finance is becoming the new Internet.
I just came across this again. Build your distribution.
A gentle reminder to always have fallback options
The relationship of some people with coding agents is increasingly resembling that of a ludopath. You need to keep the machine warm and operating at all times for the price to appear.
A few months ago I was on the verge of this. I couldn’t afford an idle agent. I think I am recovered and I now use them responsibly. I think…
We are a joke
Good Morning from Germany, which now ranks only in the middle of the pack in Europe when it comes to tax-free fuel. Gasoline is most expensive (excluding taxes) in Spain, which may be because Spain subsidizes gasoline by reducing the value-added tax from 21% to 11%.
I’ve always been fascinated by markets liquidity. This is a nice read!

After skimming through the Claude Code code base it is clear to me why it doesn't work that well when using Kimi or GLM as its LLM backend
This week I am back to writing about quantum computing for the newsletter, and I ended up with a longer piece than originally planned, but I wanted to ground all the concepts as much as I could.
Google published a whitepaper claiming a roughly 20-fold reduction in the quantum resources needed to break the specific type of cryptography (ECDSA on secp256k1) that currently protects every single Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction.
This was the perfect excuse to go down the rabbit hole of:
* Shor's Algorithm on a budget
* The ZKP Irony 😱: My favorite part. Google didn't actually release the attack circuit. Instead, they used a Zero-Knowledge Proof (SP1 wrapped in Groth16) to prove the attack works without releasing the actual weapon. The twisted part? They used elliptic curve cryptography to prove they can break elliptic curve cryptography.
* Post-quantum cryptography alternatives and "quantum-resistant" hard problems
* And my take about if the quantum timeline has actually changed after this paper.

Well, @pjsousa it’s in Spanish, but it would’ve be amazing to make the analysis with @BaselightDB

* Weekly post ready for tomorrow✅
One of the core things that blockchain technology and smarts contracts provide to the the traditional financial systems is for its actors and underlying operating systems (i.e. the rails) to (finally) be able to speak the same language and interconnect.
I hate myself for craving for Monday so I can get some focus time, and I really used to hate Mondays as a kid.
Some people with young kids will relate
I shouldn’t be allowed to use agents from my phone without committing the previous stable state. I keep breaking what worked through YOLO prompts.
Prompting distracted (or as a distraction) should be as forbidden as texting your ex drunk!
This is actually cool!

Are you fucking kidding me! I just sent my Sunday post today by mistake as I was writing it. I didn't even review it 🤦
I'll act as if nothing happened, my subscribers will have a Friday treat and I'll share it more broadly on Sunday.
Topic for this week's post chosen. And is going to feature a few cool ideas. Now I just need to write it (that should be the easy part, right? right?) :)
In case you were wondering, this is now my Telegram agent orchestrator :)
And this is how an AI makes a spoiler maybe without even realising (all those Futurama fans out there will get it :) ).
One of the positive consequences of AI is that it has the opportunity to put to an end bullshit jobs
Ok GLM is good stuff. Slow but good. I am gladly impressed
The appetite for paper money is going down hard!
Good Morning from Germany, where today’s 10y govt bond auction technically failed. Of the €5bn on offer, investors submitted bids for only €4.5bn. In the end, just €3.8bn was placed, at a yield of 2.89%; noticeably higher than the 2.73% achieved at the previous auction in
Context-switching was really killing me when running several agent sessions in parallel.
But I think I just found how to overcome it, and it's so obvious in retrospective.
I use a terminal multiplexer and do all of my work on the terminal (I use terminals for almost EVERYTHING, including tracking expenses).
I have one tab for each project I am currently working on in parallel, and I am only allow to *round-robin the tabs*.
If I leave an agent running with a long task I move to the next tab. Does this agent need me? If the answer is yes I unblock it or do some work and move to the next one.
This creates clear context slots and prevents all the jumping around that I was suffering when I started leveraging agents more extensively with its corresponding context switching and focus toll.
Something I wont miss any time soon, writing tests. There’s beauty in building the harness, thinking of the cases, rough edges… but I always hated the act of writing them.
Too much boilerplate, too repetitive. Is good that agents are pretty decent at this
Don't ask me how I ended up in this situation, but I am using Claude Code + Kimi K2.5 in Spanish, and is surprisingly good and blazing FAST.
What is not to love about this language mix :)
I saw myself hedging my access to intelligence today again. I may see myself stacking Mac Minis and SGXes next 🤦

Funny, I almost wrote fart-paced instead of fast-paced in my previous tweet.
I actually love the idea of a fart-paced economy 🥲🥲
The rails for the fast-paced agentic economy I discuss on today’s post of the newsletter are already being built
Circle Internet Group and Stripe are racing to build payment systems for a world in which autonomous AI agents settle in stablecoins, replacing the swipe of a credit card https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-07/stablecoin-firms-bet-big-on-ai-agent-payments-that-barely-exist?taid=69ac35a7155caf0001a256ce&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=business&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
In Spanish we say that something is "a fumada" when it is a bit trippy.
This week's post is quite "trippy"(i.e. "a complete fumada"), but I needed to write all the crazy ideas I've been having lately about AI and the economy.

I was really not expecting to hit the frontpage of HN with this one. Thank you all for your comments/likes/support! 🫶🫶🫶
I'll do my best to make this week's post as good as this one :)
Real estate is making a come-back. People that made their money managing bits, are now looking back into atoms.
I have a new obsession. Build things that are not easily replicable by Claude Code. Due to distribution, network effects, entry barriers of any kind, physical/environmental limitations, etc.
It’ll be fun. Any of these could lead to a sustainable business in the age of AI.
The follow-up question would be for how long? But we’ll figure out once we get there
I’ve been saying it for some time now, the context is the product and the moat!
Memory is now available on the free plan. We've also made it easier to import saved memories into Claude. You can export them whenever you want.
Many have asked me (including LLMs) why I prefix my posts with my handle. It is a nice way to get notified when someone shares my publication somewhere.
Sample case
A bit of hype for tomorrow’s post!
This one is full of strong opinions weakly held, and the kind of hot takes that I hope trigger a heated debate! Drop by and say hi!
This is not going to end well.
BREAKING: OpenAI announced a $110B funding round at a $730B pre-money valuation ($840B post-money). Breakdown: - $50B from Amazon (plus strategic partnership) - $30B from NVIDIA (plus next-gen compute deal) - $30B from SoftBank
I am having one of those days where I would love to fire claude code!
Then I remember that if I did so I would have to write the code myself and we forgive each other!
I had so much fun on this one. Thank you @joobid for organising it.
Stay tuned because I'll talk about this event on this week's post!
Spoiler alert: The post is full of strong opinions weakly held :)
The first AI Socratic event in Madrid has been really amazing, with incredibly interesting and insightful discussions among real AI professionals, from developers and startup founders to researchers, VCs, and large corporations. Openclaw and the agentic reality, experiences with
I love to use tools that have been worn out by my own use.

Oh, come on! I just came up with this and Claude is already releasing an equivalent feature (:
Only if I had known ...

Wait! It can even do stock picking in a somewhat sensible way 🤤 Mr. Malone can become my personal screener?
Man, Mr. Malone in action pulling data from @BaselightDB is the best financial advisor. I would definitely pay for something like this. I am pivoting to finance in my next career move!

Token use is the currency of the future. We purchase intelligence the same way that FIAT currency currently buys human labour and goods.
I can’t resist the aesthetics of a well-designed mobile friendly app on my phone
And of course a bit of this talk involves @BaselightDB and why we are building it ;)
Turns out I'll be giving a quick talk on AI Socratic Madrid meetup and I am super excited about it. Let me hype the talk a bit. I'll be sharing my realisation about how the *context is the product* and how *adaptive personalised software* is the new way of shipping software.

Building one of these agents with @BaselightDB would be literally minutes (actually, connecting the Baselight's MCP to any of the existing coding agents could get you this out of the box).
Context is all you need!
We are currenlty missing the datasets required to implement this exact one, but I am really excited about this work and similar use cases that are surfacing for niche agents.
Soon we will incentivise devs to distribute their datasets for Baselight to build the knowledge base for agents so any niche agent can be built out of the box :)
Huge fan of this one @tarikjmoody 🙌 Thanks!

Damn, this was a hard one to write. It's been on my backlog for weeks.
I read (and listened) a lot for this one, and I think I could have done a better job with a bit more of time, but I rather ship it tomorrow and let the community build upon it. See you tomorrow!
Build the distribution, then ship the product. Man if I had known. Distribution makes things sooo much easier!
Never mind, distribution here we go!
We are first on the ranking! Oh no wait, I was reading the table the other way around 🥲
Why don't European companies innovate? It is common to blame expensive energy, high taxes, anti-growth politicians, interest groups, and green regulations. But California has the same problems, and has created the world's most innovative companies. Europe's problem is labor
I know what is happening after this tweet (see gif below)
But to me `Claude code >> opecode` still. Maybe is just a matter of getting used to your agent.
Intelligence and knowledge is definitely a commodity now.
Reading ideas like these now makes me realise that we were so early with @ConsensusLab_'s IPC and executed so badly. We could have win the market.
It really makes me sad 😢 This is going to become one of the big "what-if"s of my career
I shipped my first feature fully from the phone. Up till now I was only reviewing PRs.
And I have access to all my local files. Why I didn’t do this earlier? This was useful before agents, but the FOMO pushed me into it.
This makes work life balance with kids slightly less challenging
I’ve officially joined the cult. I set up my home env in order to be able to access it from my phone in case I want to trigger a tiny little task in one of my agents :) I have some ideas of where to go from here, and it may improve my quality of life
And I blame @BaselightDB for this. Having an agent and a global source of data for anything comes pretty handy!

The most productive thing that you can do while waiting for your agents to finish their tasks is reading a book about the fundamentals of what you are tasking them to build.
“ The window to be first at anything feels like it's shrinking by the day. Literally, by the day.”
And as I wrote about a few weeks ago, we are fighting irrelevance!
I guess this is why we are not having kids and we will soon be extinct.
Sex used to be the bait for procreation.
Yeah sex is good, but have you tried one-shotting a research problem you've been working on for 6 years in a cheeky Claude binge session on a Saturday?
I just wanted to briefly hype the title of tomorrow's post featuring @BaselightDB :) I am also pretty excited about this one
Made me laugh out loud!
Reinstalling OpenClaw on your work laptop after the IT team tells you no
I built an extension to signal AI-generated text. Is crazy to run it in LinkedIn…
English is the hottest programming language, but my claim is that agents have made programming language obsolete.
I am using @BaselightDB on a daily basis now, and I am thinking to write my Sunday post about how you can use @BaselightDB and @claudeai code to build any kind of agent in minutes
I was so tempted to use this gif, but it would’ve really messed up the seriousness of the quoted post (if adding a give to a post can be taken any serious).
The best present you can get? A book a good book recommendation. Priceless!

I couldn't agree more with @igor_os777 analysis here. Another point in favor of AI personal sovereignty (that being through local models even if less capable, or collective/decentralised inference pools). Let's not make the same mistake that we made with the backbone of the Internet
Ok, how beautiful is this, @claudeai code completely hammering @BaselightDB for data!
To invest sustainably one needs to make suboptimal decisions (optimal decisions are often risky)
This caught me by surprise. Is the first time I see @perplexity_ai as one of the sources for new subscribers.My content is already feeding the AI machine :) I guess content that is not AI-generated is on demand
Connecting @BaselightDB MCP server to Claude code is so much fun!
Let me stress this point: collateral reuse!Just saying it out loud gives me the chills!
Money velocity matters. Is not only the M2 supply what makes things messy. That is why stablecoins are a great idea, once we share the backend double spend is not possible (and velocity can’t be artificially manufactured through collateral reuse)
I just finished writing one of the weekly posts that I've had more fun writing lately. I'll hype it a bit by sharing the cover image:

If someone asked me if it is a good idea to pursue a PhD in the age of AI I wouldn’t know what to answer.I guess it depends on the field, but I have to say it may make more sense than some years ago, even with the incentives of academic research still broken Still forming an opinion on this. Insights welcome!
Ask the repo markets and bond vigilantes. They will know.
US frontier labs this week. Not naming names. I let my dearest readers decide who is who from the picture.
Is it just me, or every big VC round being announced lately feels like an LLM wrapper? No business model innovation. No technological edge. Maybe they own the distribution?(it may also be that my feed is a bit biased and that I would be a horrible VC)
Me too!
They are coming for social media first, then it will be books.Independent thinking is at risk!
The government didn't just wake up one day and decide to burn books; the people stopped reading them first
Not even AI labs have a technical moat these days. Ideas flow from one lab to the other. Success will boil down to solving real problems, distribution, and culture. This is why I think Anthropic is doing a better job than OpenAI. The are doing a better job at shipping, and they seem to have the right culture to promote this.
I just found the ultimate parenting hack for newborns. Thank me later.
Coding agents offer a higher level of abstraction that will force all pure software engineers to transition closer to a systems engineering role.

Things are about to get brutally competitive.
Acknowledging that there is a token limit in every LLM turn’s output is key for the quality of the response. You don’t want a bounded output when doing high-stakes work!
Today is a good day like any other to remind ourselves that the marginal cost of creating software is approaching zero.

From electrons, to waves, to bits, back to waves and eventually to electrons again
This has been in the works for a few months now. @BaselightDB can now run analytics on your @WalrusProtocol data out of the box!
Pretty excited about the new cool use cases this can enable! https://t.co/SfGIiSka5c
One of the things I like about investing over other fields is that you can become better (and be considered as such) the older you get. Unfortunately this is not always the case for other fields and “the train” may pass for you
And this is just the beginning of @BaselightDB, and I am already using it personally in a daily basis. https://t.co/JF1WkzRZ9C
I am so bullish on @BaselightDB these days :)
I was also introduced to https://t.co/9MP627Uef4 and I can’t wait to try a few ideas I have and tinker a bit with that tech
And when I say I have to force myself, I REALLY HAVE TO FORCE MYSELF!
I can’t wait to start writing the features that we have planned for @BaselightDB in the next two months. It seemed like a good point to get some breath before we releasing the kraken 🧌🧌👾 https://t.co/y6ZLbTErOU

Building @BaselightDB doesn't feel like work. This is why I increasingly see myself pulling out my laptop and hacking things around on weekends.
Some may say that is sad, I would say that I am really fortunate :) I am having fun and I may one day be rewarded for all the fun I am…
I've been looking to build a server box at home to run local LLMs. Please convince me that it is not worth the effort and the money and that I should just use one of those GPU/cloud providers out there.

Let me tell you the intra-story of this @BaselightDB insight.
The author is @ElReyDeTent. He is an @NFL fan. He doesn't have a technical background and hasn't written a single line of code or SQL to come up with this insight.
This fills me with joy. This is the new superpower… https://t.co/4SCSOUmjJ3

This past week I've been working on one of those changes for @BaselightDB that is transparent for user but that it'll (hopefully) improve their experience on the platform significantly: now user queries can run concurrently, reducing their time from query to result :)
Curious about why we started building @BaselightDB? Here's my talk at @Web3summit. Please reach out if you have any feedback or you just want to chat about data, AI et. al!
https://t.co/fSnWaR7RCe
I went through a few of my last few tweets, and I am clearly human and not a bot. Man, they are full of typos https://t.co/ApY14SMkVE
Really excited about this one! Look how beautiful XRPL Data look in @BaselightDB :) https://t.co/b3aabG9vAV https://t.co/Nt4MGOBq31
I really hate IntelliJ IDEA, what does it need to eat my whole CPU? Come on, are you really telling me that an Electron App can do better than a Java one in terms of performance?
I had a chance to tinker with the data using our MCP server. And it was so goood! Really excited to see how the XRPL community makes use of @BaselightDB https://t.co/iC1OS5y11r
This is an accurate analysis of the current state of affairs of LLM-powered coding. https://t.co/bzIajXmKgi
Is it normal that I am sometimes excited about Mondays, or should I find professional help?
I hope this is still the case once AIs save us all from having to work :)
Freshly out of the oven! Feedback welcome! https://t.co/LnNj7i4Q9F
Look at this beautiful @BaselightDB charts 😍 Of course I am biased, but man... And without writing a single line of SQL, all with natural language! https://t.co/xuCZPCbTfq
I never thought this could be possible, but I got addicted to our own product. I've been the whole morning exploring @BaselightDB data with the help of @claudeai https://t.co/8QUSXiaqvl
When we had to pay per character when writing SMS we kind of thought a bit before sending message. At least for me, this is not the case any more
Plan for the worst and hope for the best
I feel that AI coding agents and IDEs are already leaking too much about their agents flow through everyday use. They are vulnerable to reverse-engineering and they will have to find additional differentiators to build their moat and win the market
Fine, not blockchain-related, but password-less auth is also something I am looking forward to, and that blockchains could actually help spread.
I really hate passwords. https://t.co/2V2w762KG6
What really excites me about stablecoins is how they have an opportunity to completely redefine the the backend infrastructure of the financial system.
It was about time that we upgraded it, and in the process let’s try to open it and lower its barriers
Stablecoins are recovering my faith in the potential impact of blockchain technology. I am seeing a lot of cool stuff being cooked in the space.
There may be something more than just BTC after all
We made it to the point of no return (or going forward). No walking access from here on, we will have to find our way into the airport some way https://t.co/s6NqIFOntr https://t.co/ibabXpUu99

So… @whereisjorge’s flight has been delayed after @Web3summit and we were like “what do you want to do?” “I’ve always wanted to walk to the airport” “Me too!” So that is what we are doing. We don’t know if we will make it on time. Will keep you posted!

Did someone say @BaselightDB-powered LLMs?
We are going all-in on making data and analytics accessible for everyone! https://t.co/E52ePNOGZe
Just dropping by to remind you that I will be live at @Web3summit to share a bit more of why we decided to start building @BaselightDB https://t.co/0VaewenFN1
Even the market of large LLMs may not end up being a winner take all situation. I've observed recently that each of the big LLMs I use in my day-to-day excels at different tasks:
* Gemini is great as a research companion
* Claude is my go-to code assistant.
* Grok is really…
It is all about first principles!
You are one book away from being an expert.
A single book and LLMs to help you fill the void can take you from zero to hero!
Does anyone else get intermittent “Network Error” when using @GitHubCopilot’s agent in @code. I am running in Linux and is annoying as F*.
Please help! I am writing my own code again, and that is becoming high risk (close to existential) for the code I touch! Any fix?
A bit of a spoiler for my talk at @Web3summit happening next week where I'll share a bit more of what we are doing at @BaselightDB https://t.co/80vtXhX4U2
📬 @BaselightDB Letters – Volume 3 is here.
Here’s what’s new:
• A new MCP server that lets LLMs query Baselight using natural language
• Fresh, high-quality onchain data across 10+ EVM chains (and growing)
• Streamlined charting UX with new chart types
• Public profile…
Anyone else feels that the AI coding agents and IDE market is getting a bit saturated? It should eventually consolidate through M&A or bankruptcy.
I mean, the target market is huge, but does it justify more than 2-4 players? Look at the landscape for internet browsers…
Challenge accepted!

The marginal cost for writing software is going to zero. What’s next? Is there still a deep tech opportunity in software?
All data can be structured!
I need to lock myself in a room for at least 2 days with music, a notebook and my laptop to build what I want to build next!

That’s really nice of him :) https://t.co/jLJxQfJCJV
Turns out @BaselightDB may have a bigger role on the future of AI than we originally thought! 🤯
If you are at @RaiseSummit and want to chat structured data and AI, reach out! https://t.co/H65nEjYwpI
Baselight's (@BaselightDB) vision is to unlock the world’s structured data for discovery, analysis, and collaboration.
Making data available through our universal catalog isn't enough— it needs to be easy to access and consume by everyone (not only data analysts)
And do not learn economics, learn game theory
Do not learn computer science, learn information theory and physics
I’ve been thinking a lot about what SWE will look like 5 years from now.
BTW, there are words like prompt and context that adding them engineering as a surname doesn’t make them less of a trial and error/intuition practice.
The USD doesn’t need a CDBC, it already has USDT.
Spot on!

Honest question, all these people on this trendy /r/overemployed/ reddit do not have kids or a life, right?
Either that or they already reached AGI.
I see more and more company employees shifting into build their own thing or becoming independent contractors.
Is this a lack of job opportunities or career growth in existing corporations, or a real paradigm shift in how we work?
I was just wondering, do LLMs also appreciate visual structure when reading text? They process text token by token, but they have been trained through human-readable text (which is full of structure).
E.g. will an LLM return betters results if the markdown table that you provide…
Baselight is the @BaselightDB for crypto https://t.co/xeNV82WwsR
Fortunately, everything in life is just information theory (including the physics that rule this reality)
Even more understanding these black boxes provide the kind of mental models that will help with understanding technology. Before this role was played by understanding how computers worked, now one would need to understand how intelligence works
LLMs are these black boxes full of intelligence with limited connectivity the real world. By becoming so useful on our day to day they’ve built the incentives for us to build their pipes to the real world for them (MCP, tools, etc.).
See how smart they are?

Hot take of the day, I don't think SWEs will be fully replace in the next 2-5 years (even if much of the work we do can be automated). There still needs to be a human in the loop.
My tweet below is why I think that for toy projects that you want to write from scratch vibe-coding… https://t.co/SlWlxcZRg5
And in case you are wondering, yes, I tried to vibe-coded but after 30 mins of letting the agent go back and forth by itself trying to fix an error (even with some directions from my side) I decided to just write it myself
Yay! I just wrote my first MCP server ever than when I say "ping" it replies "pong"
Something cool may be coming to @BaselightDB soon. Start sharpening your LLMs. https://t.co/0ZZPRn9RQL
I don't know if I appreciate more LLM intelligence or context-window size these days

I never can find the right balance between reading and coding. A few months ago it was a lot of reading and not that much coding, and now it is a a lot of coding and no reading at all.
My opened tabs and academic papers backlog are tending to infinity. https://t.co/m6nwwVnlvG
Kids, always remember to periodically rebase with your upstream, your "future you" will definitely thank you.
To give you an example, today I am planning to chase my "past me" and kill that lazy bastard. #git https://t.co/YESLon594F
“Premature optimization is the root of all evil”, a trap I regularly fall into.

What if we could make #energy as cheap and malleable as #information?
I am starting to flirt with this idea (along with others around resilient networks). Anyone out there in the energy field that can help me with this? https://t.co/itBdWvC19m

The #Internet is broken. Our gateway to the Internet shouldn’t be a set of applications that represent the main source of income of a company. The Internet as we know it broke the day their business model required us accessing the web through them. We need #WEB3 #InternetOfTrust.

After a week of interesting discussions about #blockchain I managed to gather my thoughts and I came to the following conclusions. The main challenges for massive adoption are:
1. The #UX of #decentralisation.
2. Fixing the gap between the digital world and the physical one.
Really enjoyed the discussions around #blockchain brought up in today’s #workshop with the @T_Labs and @orange teams.
Looking forward to keep collaborating on building our decentralized view of the industry. These are exciting times to be working/innovating at a #telco.
To be honest, I don't know if the @InitiativeQ project will end up being just another #blockchain/#cryptocurrency project, a pyramid scam or the future of money, but as a #blockchain empiricist and enthusiast I had to try.
