0/ A personal update I have decided to step back from @multicoin. It's a bittersweet moment for me because my time at Multicoin has been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life. That said, I am excited to take some time off and explore new areas of technology.

1/ I will remain in my role as Chairman of Forward Industries. As part of the redemption request that I intend to submit to Multicoin's Master Fund for March 31, 2026, I will request an in-kind redemption in FWDI shares and warrants rather than in USD, pending Multicoin's

Kyle Samani stepping back from Multicoin feels like the end of an era. I remember seeing the deck in 2018 or 2019. Regardless of disagreement on outlook and theses, he has been one of the best macro thinkers in crypto. What matters more is the shift underneath. He is like the

This is the most brutal crypto winter ever. Nobody's even joking about it in a self effacing way. And if there were anyone doing the meme, you wouldn't see it because there's no crypto twitter anymore.

People once thought Newton had finished physics. He hadn't — he had just finished one regime. When a field feels “done,” it's usually not the end. It's the end of a paradigm.

Kyle passed on Compound twice (and backed a Chinese fork), and passed on Superstate twice. And despite that, I consider him a true friend, and one of the best crypto investors of all time (MCC backing Solana repeatedly is goat'ed). Can't wait to see and support Kyle's next era

I reached out to Kyle in 2018 after reading his memos. His thinking is differentiated, clear, and decisive. He is as bold as it gets. I invested in Multicoin that year - a bet to hedge my own investing career. One of the smartest things I ever did. I missed Solana early. They

Legendary run. I still remember how after Breakpoint in Amsterdam Kyle was sending me a ton of messages from a flight back. After three incredibly intense days at the conference, Kyle is on a 10+ hour flight watching Solana founder keynotes and sending me his thoughts via

we both used to debate on what a world “web3” dapps look like - I'd still debate with kyle on some of his beliefs, but not with my old statements in the AI native / first world, the future has already come - it just doesn't look like what we've imagined
