[1/🧵] I've been reading a lot about #XRPL #scalability recently.
Let me quickly go through how #XRPL performs and #scales on these metrics:
▶️ Scale up "vertically"
▶️ Scale out "horizontally"
▶️ High volume & High value TX
▶️ High value & Low speed

[2/17] 👉 Asynchronous TX speed—Scale up "vertically"
In contrast to #DAG-based systems, which operate in "chaotic order" and execute transactions in parallel, the #XRPL validates transactions in canonical transaction order—one Ledger at a time.

❓ The approach for #DLT/#Blockchain-based systems such as #XRPL:
☑️ "Payment Channels"
🧐 It's a sophisticated feature for transmitting "asynchronous" #XRP #payments that may be broken into extremely small amounts and paid in total order afterwards.

If you’re keen to become a CTO as soon as possible by applying for job openings, you might like to think about becoming a startup CTO.
Let me share with you Pros and Cons of being a CTO at a startup based on my personal experience:
Let me share with you Pros and Cons of being a CTO at a startup based on my personal experience:
Pros
Less barrier to entry
Coding is still part of day-to-day responsibilities (also a Cons)
Wear multiple hats, and be a part of decision making across many disciplines
Fast pace of change

If you have unlimited free talent, how would you design your organisation for your tech startup? #startup #scale #chieftechnologyofficer #cto #founder #techleadership #productmanagement
Whether I’ve got unlimited free talent or not, I’d first think about roadmap / goals before designing my org for a tech startup.
Before you say a roadmap is too low-level details, hear me out. The roadmap is the magic that transforms vision to action.
Ask yourself, what kind of work will need to be done in the next six months to eighteen months for the organization.

We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."

"What's the motivation of this paper? We've seen in most of these locations that there was an #emergence of some form of hierarchical #government [correlated with] a monopoly of #violence and increased #inequality [and] most people lost."

Citing work led by SFI's Tim Kohler in 2017 showing the increase in #inequality (as measured by #GINIcoefficient) as society evolves greater political #scale and more complex/abstract means of production:
There's a lot of justified concern over whether #fermentation capacity can ever meet the promises of biotech at #scale. It's a real challenge, and one likely to present massive roadblocks to promising new companies, even with immediate action. 🧵
So much of #biotech is about proving that a microbe or genetic alteration can achieve X result in the lab, followed by the promise of what's possible "if you just scale this up…". Naturally, that last bit is where the true value proposition (and difficulty) lies.
Making lots of stuff, even with microscopic agents like yeast, requires gigantic steel tanks, and lots of them. For anything that offers global-scale solutions, we're talking many times more capacity than currently exists. But who's going to own and run all the tanks?

But we also heard a lot about #DigitalPublicGoods (#DPGs). Like... A LOT a lot.
So, what's the connection between #DPGs and a just, #inclusive #DigitalTransformation? Why have so many #donors, national #governments, and #tech experts alike expressed interest in #DPG solutions?

Well, they all agree that #DigitalTransformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark: 96% of the world's unconnected people live in developing countries.
To make technology promises into reality, we must recognize Africa as a continent with 55 countries that are all different. Let's work with them to build what is required rather than serving them with one solution.

The new @OECD report highlights how to best achieve digital transformation by being responsive to digital realities, managing universal risks, and supporting gender action frameworks.
.@OECD's offer:
✅Going digital initiative
✅New research to accelerate #digitaltransformation
✅Inclusive forum to shape a digital future
✅DAC support participation of developing countries

How the #DigitalDevelopment community thinks about sharing #information, #resources, and #data and partners to advance #DigitalTransformation will be key to creating #impact from our efforts and ensuring country #governments can replicate them to better serve their #citizens.
DIAL thinks about #partnerships in everything it does—in fact, were founded in 2015 by a partnership of #global #donors seeking to connect incredibly promising #DigitalDevelopment efforts that had failed to achieve #scale.
The role of a #founder & #CEO needs to evolve over time and be aligned with #startup’s stage of maturity.

Participated in an industry call this Am. It is obvious now that all municipalities will need to outsource waste collection to the big guys $GFL. Labor inflation hurting. Taxpayers will notice that municipalities operating own fleet are hemorrhaging cash. More wins coming $GFL.
In the US. ~20% of the industry is still Municipal. Should go to nearly 0% over time. Opportunity for solid waste winners with #scale
US + Canada is a $15 billion opportunity for scaled waste companies to replace municipal fleets. I expect $GFL to win more deals in the North East. $WCN to win the West. These deals are very high margin.

If you’re hiring for more than 5 people, I’d personally hire a CTO, CPO or find a co-founder with prior experience in building teams first, and then work with a recruitment agency.
Because hiring or filling headcounts is not the end goal, you’ll need to make sure the new people are onboarded properly, and they have a roadmap to work on.
