Combining yesterday's top news stories, $6.3 billion from the Binance hack could get you most of the way there on the equity check to fund the takeover of ADT. Also more than the market cap of Vail Resorts, Lyft, Cambpell's Soup etc.... The numbers are hard to fully comprehend.

Compute has plenty of prices, but it doesn't have a Price.

Ask five vendors for an H100 hour and you'll get five quotes. Same silicon. The market clearing the largest infrastructure buildout in history still runs on Slack and handshakes.

Thrilled to co-lead @LiquidCompute's $15M seed with @ChemistryVC to build the financial infrastructure for this market.
