Amazing demo from Stripe. What I don't understand is why they don't simply create embedded wallets for all users and merchants, and then smoke Visa on near-zero transaction fees. https://twitter.com/collision/status/1783559623511011535

Going to have to apply for Global Entry so I can use the same automated passport reading machines that are now standard at every airport in Europe, and not wait in line. It's funny how often the 'first class' version of things in the US, particularly as regards public goods, is simply the baseline European version.

Best piece I’ve read on memecoins: “The rise of memecoins signifies a shift towards a culture where substance is replaced by spectacle, and the distinction between productive meaningful investment and speculative profit frenzy becomes blurred.” https://paragraph.xyz/@clout/memesupercycle

This is the absolute embodiment of the American 'europoor' discourse. https://twitter.com/asciidiego/status/1781513884475822580

When you’re trying to create a market in human attention onchain, one question to ask yourself: are you subsidizing demand (i.e. paying users to do a thing) or are you subsidizing supply (i.e. paying consumer apps with real and active users whose attention can be turned toward doing a thing)?

Finally got access to the Telegram wallet which they announced last year but I'd never seen in the wild. Looks absolutely sick, but unfortunately nerfed if you're American due to anti-US rage from Pavel. What I can't figure out is how the app is figuring that out given I'm in Dubai, and region set to Spain/Europe.

Currently horrifying the French by how much ‘cafe filtre’ I drink on a work day. Requires at least three ‘grand’ mugs to get to American levels of technocapitalism. If the continent wants to reassert its leadership, it needs to overthrow the stupefying effect of Big Espresso.

Love how crypto is becoming the market sentiment indicator as it trades 24/7 (here, reacting to Iran/Israel news).

This is the airline equivalent of the American upper-middle class: solidly better than cattle class, but the upper class of business is within literal and taunting view, consigning one to anxiety at the precarity. The truly wealthy are of course on an entirely different plane.

Talking to Bitcoin maxis is wild: They’re seemingly obsessed with crypto, and yet know close to nothing about what’s happening in Ethereum, ‘Web3’, L2s, Farcaster, etc. A global store of value is the use case, full stop.

Kind of don’t love that casting with a channel tagged also casts to my general feed. Feels like I should be posting into a siloed audience. Or maybe should be togglable.
