Show Your Work: Why The Right Answer Still Loses The Sale
<p>You just spent 45 minutes diagnosing the problem. You know exactly what's wrong. You're confident in your solution. And then they say, "Let me think about it." Or worse: "I want to get a second opinion."</p><p>What just happened? You didn't show your work.</p><p>Think back to math class. You solved the problem, wrote down the answer, and your teacher marked it wrong—even though the answer was correct. Why? Because you didn't show your work. The same thing is happening in your appointments. You've got the right answer, but the homeowner can't see how you go...

Wiz's first investor breaks down Google's $32B acquisition
<p>According to Index Ventures Partner Shardul Shah, cybersecurity startup Wiz sits “at the center of three tailwinds: AI, cloud, and security spend.” Those tailwinds powered what just became the largest venture-backed acquisition in history — Google's $32 billion deal, finalized after a declined 2024 offer, antitrust review on both sides of the Atlantic, and an extra $9 billion to sweeten the pot. </p> <p> </p> <p>On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Anthony Ha, Rebecca Bellan, and Sean O'Kane sit down with Shah to dig into what made Wiz worth that price tag, and also cover more of the week's headlines. </p> <p> </p> <p>Listen to the...

Is Bitcoin DOOMED? Major Quantum Breakthrough Disrupts Markets!
<p>Bitcoin just closed its worst first quarter since 2018, and now the market is at a crossroads. On one side, crypto stocks are trading at deep discounts, but Bernstein says that pain may actually be signaling a bottom. On the other, Washington is suddenly moving fast, with a potential rule change that could open trillions of dollars in 401(k) capital to crypto, while stablecoin legislation and a major Senate markup could decide the future of digital asset policy before the window shuts until 2027. And hanging over all of it is a threat most investors still are not taking seriously: quantum...

Warren Buffett Would Outsell You: The Credibility Principle
<p>Picture this: You're at the park on a perfect 75-degree day. An old guy sits next to you and starts rattling off investment advice.

Insider Reveals Bitcoin’s Biggest Threat... And No One Is Ready!
<p>A new threat to Bitcoin is emerging and it’s not coming from regulation or markets, but from technology itself. Researchers are warning that advances in quantum computing could eventually break the cryptography that secures Bitcoin, with new estimates suggesting the barrier is much lower than previously thought. Millions of BTC, especially in older wallet structures, could be vulnerable if the industry doesn’t act in time. While this isn’t an immediate risk, experts say the transition to quantum-resistant security needs to start now, as attackers could already be collecting data to crack in the future. The big questi...

Then we turn to Washington, where the GENIUS Act enters enforcement and the CLARITY Act stalls as the banking lobby digs in.</p><p>Bitcoin is rising. TradFi is cracking. The times aren’t just changing — they’re accelerating.</p>
Anthropic vs. the Pentagon, the SaaSpocalypse, and why competition is good, actually
<p>The Pentagon has officially designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk after the two failed to agree on how much control the military should have over its AI models, including its use in autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. As Anthropic’s $200 million contract fell apart, the DoD turned to OpenAI instead, which accepted and then watched ChatGPT uninstalls surge 295%. As the stakes keep rising, the question remains: how much unrestricted access should the military have to an AI model? </p> <p> </p> <p>On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O'Kane dig into what startups shoul...

With short-term weakness and long-term adoption colliding, the big question is whether Bi...
