having a bunch of ideas isn't a big deal, all you need is to start working on an idea which you think could solve the big problem
Thank you!!!
Good advice
Excellent talk. To the point.
Thanks for this content
2023- these dudes built a future that many are unaware exists
This is incredibly insightful Lily!
i would want to know all languages of the world fluently to be able to travel and talk to everyone who just needs an ear to listen. Talking to people is a thing that will heal your soul.
Very interesting lecture
Hi! Could you assist me on my pitch deck? 😊
Got it. Now all i have to do is raise a seed round 😆
😃
I would want limb regeneration where anytime my arms and legs are damaged on my body or ripped of I could grow them back or heal where it's damaged.
I would choose absolute wish. It let's me make all of my wishes come true
I would like to have snow and ice so I can finally make A castle And make it snow and a slide (BIG)
cloning allows the possibility of playing Rush E, all I have to do is learn, also you can multitask to the max
Explosive Thread Manipulation. I can shoot out threads out of my bare fingers but i will have to sacrifice a bit of blood to make them sharp. Whenever it directly hits something it will explode the thing it touched and give my blood back.
I have a simple answer: the ability to spontaneously create matter with any function attached to it. Then I could apply whatever ability to that matter and give myself more power!
Good old Cranium, nice to see the man in the flesh.
is it. possible to have respect for a country that plays cricket
I would ban cricket and male chefs
Control time is OP It's like mind reading Teleportation Healing Resurrection Perfectionism Outcome change All in One
What always gets me is that everybody understands the concept of a real currency. There is exactly one copy of each dollar. It's trivial and if you violate it, then you are guaranteed to go to jail. How many crypto users have the slightest idea what it really is that they are doing? 0.01%? Crypto is the Dunning Kruger exploit of the financial world.
Fold finance and keep Network to the moon baby!
Gensler may be a fine professor at MIT...but he surely gets a "F" as an enforcer of crypto at SEC. Shame on him for ignoring so many little investors...who he sworn to protect!
Nobody forces you to "invest" in tulips. Stop complaining.
Scalar manipulation. I can manipulate any scalar quantity that i touch including my own body, i can increase my speed and power I can burn or freeze anything in an instant. I can manipulate density, and i can do other cool stuff.
You can run but you can’t hide G! Lets Go APE NATION LETS GO!
Gary Gensler is spot on, he really knows his stuff. Unlike others, I think he's the perfect person to lead the SEC in regulating crypto
Isn't it crazy this man got paid by epstein it's all coming out
He is a cheater...Don't believe him...
Don't believe him....he is a scammer and corrupt.
This man is a CARTEL BANKER...
He is a puppet..
Gary Gensler is a scammer and corruption
Sugar Baby Gensler
Gary Gensler is a corruption
Boycott Gary Gensler
Gary doesn’t even know what the blockchain is. He has no idea the innovation that will come.
Lol, he only tought a 24-class long course on the subject with guest lectures from programmers actually implementing that stuff...
@@julkiewitz at MIT the #1 tech school in the world
Lol. I studied blockchain from his course.
