i'm very happy with kind of the way things are going now, but i know that i can mess it up by getting too greedy. We were top vew posts on hacker news yesterday. There's a pioneer square lab's piece by dave peck,. who's a veteran engineer on our team, called an engineer's hype free observations on web three and its possibilities.

Sponsors:
- Thank you to our presenting sponsor for all of Season 9, Pilot.com! Pilot takes care of startups' bookkeeping, tax and CFO services so busy founders can focus on what matters. To paraphrase Jeff Bezos's AWS analogy: bookkeeping and tax don't make your product any better — so you should let Pilot handle them for you. Pilot is in fact backed by Bezos himself, along with other all-star investors including Sequoia, Index, and Stripe. They are truly the gold standard for startup bookkeeping, and many of the companies we work with run on them. You can get in touch with Pilot here: https://bit.ly/acquiredfmpilot , and Acquired listeners get 20% off their first 6 months! (use the link above)
