People of Mastodon: explain in one sentence why your company should wind-down their Twitter account. Pitch it like you’re pitching your CEO.

Between a16z pushing their crypto agenda and Elon out for revenge, I’d wager the SEC will be the first agency gutted next year. Without a functioning SEC, there’s a straight line between unregulated crypto and your parents gambling away their life savings, like 2008 all over again. Just in case you’re wondering why Bitcoin hit a new all time high.

So Blue Sky raised $13 Million, and it's obvious they're going to end up like every other social network. Blue Sky fans argue it's impossible because of the way the protocol is designed. It reminds you of crypto weirdos. Probably because Blue Sky was created by crypto weirdos. The VC who invested focuses on crypto. It's called Blockchain Capital. Good luck with that!
