"I have takes that don't get me invited into every room, and that's fine" Jessi on finding your place in crypto without losing yourself "My advice for any beginner, largely women, or anyone who doesn't feel like they fit, is don't lose yourself. A lot of my takes are contrarian. I talk a lot about illicit finance, about protecting victims. That's been my guiding principle, and it's why I think crypto can be so special for vulnerable people." "I've probably pissed a lot of people off. For everyone you disagree with, there are so many people doing amazing, creative things that I feel lucky to be part of it." "I found a purpose, not by agreeing with everybody, but by learning as much as I could, sticking to what felt true to me, and leaning in." "There is space for you in tech and crypto if you want to be there. You have to have the courage to be whoever you are."

TuongVy Le on the day after FTX, a Senate meeting, and learning to separate her identity from the industry "One of the biggest lessons, you can care a lot about this work without letting it become your whole identity. So many of us left stable careers to join, so defending the industry got tied up with defending our own life choices." "I'll give a personal example I've never really told anyone. When FTX happened, it hit me really hard. A day or two after it collapsed I had a scheduled meeting with a Senate office." "I showed up with all my usual talking points about clear rules and responsible regulation, and partway through I got so emotional I had to stop. The staffers were kind, gave me a moment and a tissue." "It was a real wake-up call. I'd attached part of my identity to the belief that this industry was worth defending, so even though FTX had nothing to do with my work, it felt like a personal betrayal." "The lesson, separate the potential of the technology from the individual actions of people who do bad things. You can learn from those failures and still keep building."

Repost @dgt10011: I’ve argued before Anthropic must not IPO on its current metrics. The bottom line is simple- The might of American capitalism rests on a sacred social contract: if humanity must bear its risk, the public must also share in the prosperity, not just pay for it. My thoughts below:
