On the other side, like you've got cash and you want to yield, they've got something called Democratize Prime. It's earning up to 9% APY, paid hourly, and is backed by real world assets, not just token inflation. So whether you're trying to hold your Bitcoin long term or actually put capital to work, it's a pretty interesting setup. If you want to check it out, I've got a link in the description that you can go to, or you can go to figuremarkets.co/POMP. You know, the other thing I find pretty fascinating is there's these big bets on specialized workflows for general purpose models. And, you know, with Sylvia, we're making this massive bet on specialized workflows. But as we've built that product, what we realized is like the model is very important, but it's a lot of the proprietary technology you're building around it. It's, you know, agentic file systems, it's memory, it's, you know, even maybe like model routing is a pretty interesting idea. So Sierra, Brett Taylor's company, he's been talking about, I think they have an engineering blog that's out where they have something like 20 different models. And so for those that don't understand how this works, is when you ask a query on ChatGPT, they're routing it to some model that you've chosen on.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a software guy, but every once in a while I come across a piece of hardware that I just simply can't live without. And that's plod for me now. Now, this whole thing is basically a hedge against me losing my memory because when I have all these conversations, I talk to founders, investors, all kinds of people every single day. There's three things that I always want to take away from the conversation. What I learned, what are the next steps, action items, and then what notes do I need to remember for some period in the future? You can even mark important moments during the discussion so that you can quickly reference them later. Whether it's a founder meeting, an investor call, a podcast interview, or maybe even just want to sit down and talk to your spouse, I could instantly go back and forth and find key insights, decisions, action items that I talked about in that conversation. Over time, every conversation all of a sudden becomes an asset instead of a forgotten moment. And in a world where information is abundant, the ability to retain and leverage knowledge is a very real competitive advantage. That's why Plodnode Pro caught my attention recently. It's a credit card size note taker, slim, portable, perfectly integrated with my phone. And the part that I love about it is that it automatically captures conversations. It turns it into board ready summaries. You can have structured action items and it does flawless transcription. It is really magical and you should try it out. So go check them out. This hardware has completely changed my life and I think that you'll end up finding it very valuable. So if you want to use Plod and get the same value out of it that I've gotten out of it, go check them out at plod.ai slash pomp.

All right, folks, I'm going to take a little break from this episode right here to tell you something about figure markets. Now, I think figure is super interesting. I've been an investor in this business for a very long time from the private market to now they've gone public, built a very cool business. And I think what's most interesting here is they have two sides to a marketplace. If you've got Bitcoin and you want liquidity, but you don't want to sell the Bitcoin, you want to keep the upside and just take a loan out against it. FigureNow offers these crypto backed loans. They charge about 8.91% interest. That's 9.9% APR. And you can borrow up to 50% of the Bitcoin that you give over to them. And so when you do that, you're unlocking capital, but you're not triggering taxes or giving up the Bitcoin exposure. Now, on the other side of this marketplace is somebody who's got cash and they want to get yield. And on that case, you can actually go and you can use what's called the Democratize Prime product. And it's allowing you to earn up to 9% APY. What's cool about it is they pay you hourly, it's backed by real world assets, and there's no yield gains or this like token inflation that is susceptible in the crypto industry. So if you have Bitcoin and you want to borrow against it, go check out Figure. If you've got cash and you want to earn yield up to 9% APY, you should also go check out Figure. They've been a great partner to me. I'm a very happy investor in the business. Go check them out at figuremarkets.co slash pomp or click on the link in the description.

Figure uses MPC custody. It means your Bitcoin stays in its own segregated wallet. It isn't being rehypopulated or sat on some shaky exchange susceptible to rug pulls or other shadiness. Plus, they've got optional liquidation protection for when the market gets, well, like the Bitcoin market gets.
