cryptotwittertldr.substack.com👉 What Happened on Crypto Twitter in NovemberHey everyone and welcome to the first edition of Crypto Twitter TLDR! I’m Colin, I have been in the crypto(-twitter) ecosystem since 2013 (back when it was just called the Bitcoin ecosystem) and have participated in the ecosystem from multiple angles, most notably at Coins.ph, the major on-off ramp …

And now the November roundup of Tech Twitter TLDR:

Most Controversial Tweet

Tesla unveiled its Cybertruck this month and to demonstrate its power, he filmed it in a tug-of-war with a F-150. The problem? The F-150 had no payload, so of course it didn’t have the traction to pull the Cybertruck.

One of Ford’s VPs seized the moment and challenged Musk to another test, to which Musk happily obliged. A day later, Ford PR said the VP was just joking and that they have “nothing to prove.”

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Bring it on

sunny madra @sundeep

hey @elonmusk send us a cybertruck and we will do the apples to apples test for you 😉😉😉https://t.co/H3v6dCZeV5

The runner up here is this interesting discussion about ads - they’re actually good. They pay the bills so we can use great services for free and introduce us to great deals and new brands we may like.

Austen Allred @Austen

This may be my most contrarian opinion. Ads on the internet are good for humanity, especially when they’re hyper-targeted. Most of the value of the internet wouldn’t exist without it, and the more data used to target the ads the better. https://t.co/bzTS8rsIIF

Austen Allred @Austen

@DomainNoob I think ads make the internet better and don’t think it’s ok to view all of a site except for the ads which pay for that site. I also find them generally useful if the advertiser targets with enough data. I know I’m probably the only person on planet earth that feels this way.

Most Useful Tweet

If you want to meet with someone, ask them. They’ll probably say no but eventually it will work out.

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Here is a hustle: Everyday cold email one person you would love to meet but don’t know. With a well constructed email, 1 in 20 convert. Congrats in one year you will speak to 18 people you would never have normally been able to reach. 👍 😉

Most Interesting Tweet

Once you see how the sausage is made, you probably don’t want your friends and family to eat the sausage.

Erik Torenberg @eriktorenberg

A Facebook employee who blocks FB for their kid. An Ivy League professor who has their kid homeschooled / not attend university. A VC who tells their friends to bootstrap and not take VC funding. What's the best term for this type of phenomenon?

As click-baity as tweets like this are, it’s really cool to see how much has happened in the last decade. Here’s to the next!

Funniest Tweet - The Softbank Deck

With WeWork’s valuation in the gutter, Softbank has been circulating a deck with investors that articulates their plan for making things right. As Matthew Ball points out, just looking at the slides makes it clear how this all happened in the first place.

Tweeter of the Month - Nikita Singareddy (@okkkboomer)

Nikita is an investor at NYC-based RRE Ventures. On Twitter, Nikita shares a mix of thoughtful analysis as well and tweets for pure entertainment. She says she’s a “serial experimenter” in her bio, and it couldn’t be more true of anyone else. Between only tweeting via Animoji, changing her Twitter handle to @okkkboomer, and asking everyone on Twitter to use her email to sign her up for things, she runs a lot of funky experiments to say the least.

Here are some great tweets from her this month:
