Just heard from a former colleague that the entire North American tech team got laid off, and there are more cuts at $u. Are these layoffs signaling a potential recession?

Why are the upper echelons and corporate moguls so against remote work? It seems they thrive on the power dynamics of in-person interactions where they can exert control and dominate.

3. I'm not involved with FarCon ticket approvals

All jokes aside about the cabal, we announced FarCon before we knew if  @dwr.eth or @v would or could come lol

Sufficient decentralization in practice = Merkle team being supportive but ultimately uninvolved in logistics and without decision making power

IMO it's the only way FarCon as an idea and a public good continues to exist (h/t OGs with a vision @grin @cameron + @ted @heavygweit @mcbain @dylsteck.eth etc for continuing the legacy)

We are going to put the current version of Bankr on Warpcast in maintenance mode while we migrate to the latest version here. 

If you added your X account to the waitlist you now can access the private terminal at www.bankr.bot and interact with Bankr on X. 

If you want access and didn't sign up for the waitlist let me know here!

new in frameception: tag @maschine and say 'build a frame'

describe what you want to do in the frame or tag a thread.
doesn't work if you need a database, fancy backend or new onchain contracts. 

implement a short quiz that explains what you can and cannot do with maschine right now :)

After being on Twitter since 2011, with 14k followers, I attempted to qualify for the monetization policy.

I was a semi-popular poker account and had several months in the 3mil impressions.

I decided to go hard and try to secure 5mil.

I maxed out at 4.5mil and ultimately deemed it too much effort.

I’ve been on farcaster for almost 1 year now.

I have more followers on here and I have made more in tips than I ever could on Twitter.  It was the best decision I ever made and I have to thank @bitfloorsghost.eth for bringing me here 🫡

So funny that LASIK is offering free LASIK eye surgery to major league sports refs

crypto is just unbelievable

you try to build better systems, to make relationships onchain trustless but some people just continually exploit them for personal gain 

we need to talk about @mcbain and the way he abused my 15min calendar bookings

incredible work onboarding folks on the street

it's kind of wild how quickly narratives shift in this space. just a month ago, everyone was bull posting Base and the Virtuals eco and Clankers were unstoppable.

now Solana is all the rage again: 
- TRUMP sucked all liquidity back to the chain and coins like VINE & MOBY have top mindshare
- Virtuals is expanding there
- Jup bought Moonshot
- SOL ETF apps

even Base builders are migrating / going cross-chain and the hottest SocialFi apps are born there: DEGEN, Yapster, Vector ... the list goes on.

by next week, Abstract will be sucking all the air out of the room. my folder of AL for projects has moved to the top of my discords and i can't keep up with the pings. 

metas shift at light speed in this space. 

i still love Base, but am positioning my bags and my focus accordingly. 

way too easy to get left behind in a bull market if you aren't skating to where the puck is going.

in addition to being an awesome human, @jacy is a great follow if you want real-time commentary on crypto meta and CT narratives

ask her questions, agree with her, disagree with her, etc. she cuts through the noise.
