In my quest to convince Southern Italians to join us in Valtellina on their way to Silicon Valley, I’ll be in Puglia this week, speaking at Forum La Tornanza in Bari on Thursday. If you’re around and you are curious to hear about The Liquid Factory, give me a shout!

A lot of people are going to say "I told you so" today. I am not (although I am happy that I picked Bitcoin a long time ago), but if you really want to understand what it really is, I would recommend this book www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Stan...

It is time for Europe to stand up tall. 100% agreed. Until then, we'll be forced to send our founders to Silicon Valley. www.ft.com/content/e3e2...
Can Europe build its first trillion-dollar start-up?

As Draghi said, Europe needs to wake up... It is going to fall behind even more, if we do not create a unified market for startups (from a corporate law standpoint) and much more... This is just another example

I have been thinking about GenAI a lot (and being lucky to be one of the first to use it for something useful). It seems we are at an inflection point, where scaling does not do the trick anymore. That is a huge opportunity for startups, which could focus on SLM rather than LLM... lnkd.in/dTHG-vhx
