Ex-employees from Apple, Google, and Cash App are now building startups on Bitcoin. Yep, they left Big Tech for blockchain.
🚨Breaking News:
Former Big Tech talent is shifting to Bitcoin—founding new startups focused on decentralization, custody, and financial freedom on BTC rails.
⚡Wire Simplified –
These aren’t your average dropouts—these folks worked on iPhones, Google Maps, and Cash App’s core features.
Now they’re working on Bitcoin-native apps like custody wallets, payment rails, and infrastructure tools.
Projects include Oyl (Bitcoin wallet), Hoseki (proof of reserves), and Fedi (community custody).
Their common goal? Build apps on Bitcoin, not just with it.
They believe Bitcoin is now more useful than ever for real-world innovation.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Big Tech vets are betting big on Bitcoin, aiming to build a parallel ecosystem that skips banks and middlemen altogether.

Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund just raised $4.6 billion to back later-stage startups. Think big bets on big names.
🚨Breaking News:
Founders Fund closed a $4.6B war chest—$3.4B for growth-stage deals, $1.2B for early-stage startups. They're back and loaded.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Founders Fund has been quieter recently—but now they’re going full beast mode.
The $3.4B growth fund is one of the biggest in recent VC memory.
They plan to support mature startups, even in a “meh” funding environment.
Their vibe? Contrarian. They invest when others hold back.
Peter Thiel’s gang wants to dominate when everyone else is risk-averse.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Thiel's Founders Fund is flexing with $4.6B, ready to pounce on underpriced startups others are too scared to touch.
