A lot of the models we see in crypto don't work in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

HOW AMPS WORKS

Amps users can pay their followers for recasts. This is especially helpful when you have a message that's so important you're willing to pay to get the word out. 

Algorithmic feeds use recasts as a strong signal when deciding what content to show a user. For example, this recent cast appeared in my feed because @jessepollak recasted it, despite the fact that I don't follow the @coinbasewallet account. 

What is a recast from Jesse worth? Amps answers that question by allowing users to set a price for their recasts. 

Markets are the main use case for crypto, and Farcaster is the best social protocol for this kind of peer-to-peer economy.

i know that we joke about Erewhon on here, but I’ve been doing a deep dive and I’ve come across some pretty amazing nuggets of information:

the store draws its name from a book written by Samuel Butler, also titled Erewhon

the book features one of the first written references to artificial intelligence and machine intelligence 

the author’s name is referenced in the Dune series as the crusade against machines, Butlerian Jihad, wherein all ai/conscious robots were eliminated

the secret to farcaster engagement is erewhon content

Wallet balances will henceforth be denominated in units of Erewhon strawberries.

on a positive note, pushing CB to their limits is kinda bullish :P

It might be bullish for broader crypto markets that Coinbase is shitting the bed for you absolute degenerates right now, but it's very bearish for the business. 

This comment from Brian on 12/6/2024 was broadly held up within wider non-crypto community as an example of good tech leadership. Clearly was just lip service. Who knows why nothing materialized.

Fitness

2025 goal is to buy this Dumbbell Tree set from Nike (It looks gorgeous).

In order to deserve it I have to be consistent in doing strength training at least until summer (so my goal is buy it in September).

I've never done strength training in like 25 years (last time was when I was a rower in my 20). I only run now.

Being consistent for me will be a big achievement. The mat and some adjustable dumbbells & barbell from Amazon are on the way, same for a bench. Creatine and whey proteines are already here, I plan to start training in a week or so.

This cast is to make me accountable for my resolution.
