Asheesh Birla: Offered Internship To Vitalik

1/ After ~9 amazing years I’ve decided to wrap up my day job at @Ripple. Luckily, I’m not going far as I join the Board of Directors, where I’ll continue to provide input on company vision + strategy. I haven’t decided what’s next, but plan to continuing BUIDL in crypto :)
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

2/ In the past few days, I’ve had the chance to reflect on where we’ve come from and how much we’ve accomplished both as Ripple, and as an industry through some memorable moments and launches over the years.
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

3/ When I started…
Largest crypto exchange: Mt Gox vs Binance
Daily volume: $2m vs $70B
Market cap: $1.6B vs $1.3T
This is an early picture of the team in our first-ever office! pic.twitter.com/wVdBY7FySw

4/ 2013 – Within a few weeks of joining, Stripe tried to acquire us. Ultimately the deal fell apart shortly after this dinner at El Tepa Taqueria in SF, but who knows what crypto would look like today if Stripe had gotten into the industry in 2013. pic.twitter.com/8gjGjqu1Rv
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

5/ When he was at Bitcoin Magazine, Vitalik worked out of our office in Dec 2013. I remember him talking about early smart contract concepts. We made him an offer to be an intern at Ripple but couldn’t get the Visa sorted out, and he’d later speak at our first Swell conference. pic.twitter.com/aN4u3QBcsf
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

6/ 2013 - we piloted RipplePay, a functional credit card where you could use XRP to make everyday purchases, using the XRPL DEX to convert any currency in your XRPL wallet into USD. Unfortunately, no card network was willing to come within a 10-foot pole of crypto at the time. pic.twitter.com/2sy5cKTK9i
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

7/ When RippleNet first launched crypto liquidity in the market was too limited to support crypto-enabled payments at scale, so we laid the foundation for RN w/ fiat first, while continuing to iterate on a product that would also use crypto liquidity when the timing was right.
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

8/ In 2018, the timing was finally right for the first production ODL transaction (FKA xRapid). This was a huge milestone launching the first production cross-border use case that leveraged crypto at scale, despite lots of external skepticism.
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

9/ Also in 2018 - @hodges hosted an amazing crypto dinner in April with @twobitidiot, @DaveBalter, @GaryGensler and others. Selkis was a lot nicer in-person & Gary Gensler was interested in learning about the intersection of crypto and finance (🤔what happened?). pic.twitter.com/2aGgkrrZ8u
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

10/ Back to Ripple…I’m incredibly proud of the RN team as RippleNet continues to hit new milestones. In 2021, we previewed new alpha products like Liquidity Hub and RippleNet hit 1 billion in monthly volume. We’ve gone from 3 to 25+ payout markets for XRP-powered payments today.
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

11/ Lastly, I want to thank @chrislarsensf and @bgarlinghouse who gave me invaluable opportunities and many, many lessons learned along the way at Ripple. I’m honored to join the Board and continue being a part of the company. (Photo: Brad’s first day at Ripple) pic.twitter.com/zmsWtpazbq
— Asheesh Birla (@ashgoblue) June 9, 2022

12/ And finally to @MonicaLongSF – we started at Ripple in the trenches together just two weeks apart! I can’t think of anyone better suited to take the torch to lead the RippleNet team. pic.twitter.com/YgOkfgO4o3

But here’s what those folks are NOT telling you: 1) no brand new enlistee in the Army (or any branch of the military) is given a firearm on Day 1 of his/her service. They receive quite a bit of training in firearm safety before they ever are allowed to handle the weapon – even pic.twitter.com/wTsav4LTPS

if they grew up around guns and know all about them. 2) When they do get to handle their M-16s for the first time, there are no bullets ANYWHERE around. After being trained in firearm safety, they are then trained on the weapon itself without ever firing a live round. They pic.twitter.com/YQEdTWG6ey
— John (@JohnKaminar) February 14, 2020

learn how to handle it, carry it safely, disassemble it, clean it, check it for functionality, and reassemble it. 3) When they finally do get to fire the weapon, they are closely, CLOSELY supervised by their sergeants and officers. In fact, when the trainees go to the trainees pic.twitter.com/xdoJyaJUBr

go to the firing range for the first time, there are almost as many sergeants on the range as there are trainees. And some of the sergeants are assigned the specific responsibility for ensuring everything is done according to Army safety regulations. 4) Once the recruits pic.twitter.com/mQdP8RBSMT

finish their training and join their units, they NEVER get to carry their firearms around.

And the arms room is protected by pic.twitter.com/xky5cYk2uE

an alarm system. 5) No soldier of ANY rank can simply go to the unit armorer (the sergeant responsible for the arms room) and say, “Gee, Sergeant, may I please sign out my M-16?

No, the troops only sign out their weapons for authorized purposes, such as marksmanship training or field exercises, and when they do that, they are ALWAYS under the supervision of a sergeant – usually under the supervision of several sergeants and a few officers, to boot.

Benedict Evans has argued that tech’s growth has been fueled by new platforms which are 10x the opportunity of the previous one. As one generation fades, the next one is even bigger.

The question is what platform can be bigger than the smartphone? A16Z is betting it’s crypto. pic.twitter.com/dAfYsbph14

VC markets are close to frozen right now. I don’t think there’s reason to panic — mostly this is like March 2020 as everyone digests new info and waits for markets to stabilise. Expect a reopening in September.

(And yes the crossover fund picture is markedly worse).

Twitter Hacks By Justin Welsh

10 powerful Twitter hacks every user should know:
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

1/ Most popular Tweets

Ever wanted to find someone's most popular Tweets of all-time?

Or maybe their most popular recent Tweets?

Install @Twemex App and instantly find them all. pic.twitter.com/Xi4AIxfiKo
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

2/ Most active times

It's best to Tweet when your followers are online.

Do you know when they are most active?

Twitter doesn't tell you, but @Followerwonk does

Get more engagement with better timing. pic.twitter.com/wnPBFNABop
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

3/ Auto-retweeting for growth

The shelf-life of a Tweet is about 24 hours.

One great way to get more engagement is to Retweet yourself.

I RT myself 9 hours later using @hypefury

The best part? They UN-Retweet 24 hours later.

That keeps your profile nice and clean. pic.twitter.com/MFyGMehLNv
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

4/ Auto-plugging for subscribers@Hypefury will also auto-plug your newsletter.

- Select the number of likes/engagements.
- Create your custom message to add-on

Voila.

If your post reaches the threshold, it will auto-plug your newsletter.

Great for products/services too! pic.twitter.com/0E1MRcIv15
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

5/ Hyper-fast engagement

Engaging with top accounts is crucial.

I use @blackmagic_so to create my list of important accounts.

It shows me how many Tweets I've missed from them.

Then, 2x per day, I engage at hyper-speed to keep growing.

You can do it right from the sidebar! pic.twitter.com/FBm8iu5Tk5
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

6/ Personal Twitter CRM

Struggle to remember everyone's kid's names?

Or maybe how you met? Or if someone introduced you?@blackmagic_so also has built-in CRM functionality.

Never forget another important detail. pic.twitter.com/PuDwxRZx1Z
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

7/ Bookmark folders

Want to save and organize your favorite Tweets?

With @TwitterBlue you can build out an entire file cabinet of bookmarks.

Just sign up, build out your folders, and get saving. pic.twitter.com/MX1RmUs9aM
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

8/ Creating powerful lists

Lists are a powerful way to organize a relevant Twitter ecosystem.

Just create your lists and add your people.

Once you do, you can visit lists to see all relevant Tweets from that group.

Great for groups, local meetups, and any other organization. pic.twitter.com/30ICULbDBj
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

9/ Mute conversations

Ever get mentioned in a tweet & you start getting hundreds of notifications?

It clogs up your whole notification feed.

Expand the details of the tweet and click the 3 dots on the top right-hand corner.

Then, click "mute this conversation." pic.twitter.com/dzz9PoaX3q
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) May 31, 2022

10/ Hide Twitter Trends

Twitter trends are usually negative.

And they can be distracting and detrimental to your mental health.

Unless you install "Hide Twitter Trends".

This plugin will let you focus and regain your sanity by hiding the trends section.

Highly recommend. pic.twitter.com/ownR5eCX4b

Building a startup is simpler than you think.

Just provide something a couple customers will buy, & build from there.

That’s it.

Remember that lean startup, product-market fit, etc are man-made creations used to sell books or recalibrate founders who never did this up front.
— NickFriend.eth (@theNickFriend) May 29, 2022

Seeing softening demand, lower conversion rates, revenue harder to get right now.

Not happy about it.

Alpha leak. How to raise venture capital $:

Step 1: Upon meeting a VC, immediately say you received a term sheet earlier that day

Step 2: Send materials, say round is closing by EOW

Step 3: If the VC passes, then say you decided you're profitable and aren't raising

Repeat
— Daniel (@dgmason) May 27, 2022
