The true litmus test in crypto is if people are still talking about and using your token/product 3 months after launch. Some experience a dead cat bounce, but few can sustain serious momentum after that.

The Cyanometer: A Tool to Measure the Sky’s Blueness Invented by Swiss scientist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the 18th century, the circular chart contains 52 shades of blue. Inspired by his love for the Alps, especially Mont Blanc, Saussure climbed to great heights to study the deeper blue skies at higher altitudes.

The low effort/ high fun ratio wins every time. This might seem obvious given how popular the /memes channel is here, but I can attest to it being a solid strategy in smaller or more niche communities as well. When I ran community, our meme channel was an incredible draw at bridging passive and active members. Once passive members felt more comfortable, their willingness to communicate in other areas increased significantly.

Wish there was more detail on what a frame can do in the description. In this instance I got the run down from their github page, but that info should be surfaced here before being prompted to install.

I can't be the only one who sees how the Merkle team found an innovative way to skip a traditional token launch, and instead turned it into an engagement flywheel that seems to be working pretty well.

Vangelis scored Blade Runner on the fly while watching the footage presented to him daily on VHS. If he felt a strong connection to what he was watching, he would create a composition straight away. Being lead by the images, he would record his creations without any prior rehearsals. If a scene induced no immediate reaction, Vangelis would not push himself to force the music out, instead he would work on some other tasks at the studio and come back to it later on.

Pixar Typestry emerged during a period when Pixar was transitioning from hardware to software solutions, having sold its hardware division in 1990. Typestry was part of Pixar's efforts to diversify its product offerings & generate revenue through software tools. A few years later Pixar would ditch all this & go all in on feature films. The rest is history.

This is the way 🚀 Reclaiming your time to focus is one of the healthiest things you can do in this day and age. Some people are so sucked in, they don’t think they have the option to pause the treadmill to regain their composure. Sometimes you just need to see someone else do it so you know how it can be done.

One of the all time greats. There’s an extra layer of hilarity and grittiness if you have the chance to see this with an NYC audience

Turns out I'm a Builder-Pragmatist (-7.6, 0.0) on the Onchain Alignment Chart 📊 What's not surfaced in this frame, and ultimately more valuable, is the breakdown of my onchain activity, which it summarizes after it analyzed my profile

One thing that should't get lost in this conversation isn't just the amount stolen, but how Lazarus pulled it off with a combination of social engineering and exploiting SAFE's lack of SRI hashing. https://www.bovill-newgate.com/americas/breaking-the-vault-lessons-in-custody-security-from-the-bybit-hack/?r=
