used coinbase for the first time in years because wanted to check USDC on Base off-ramp and it doesn't let me add my bank details to cash out EUR - it only lets me add Coinbase bank to send money in.

it is happy, however, to offer a 'small' €21.30 fee for getting that to my debit card 🤡

NGL but "concepts of a plan" would make an excellent band name.

When European merchant bankers came to America, they could no longer judge someone's credit worthiness based on their socks because "American socks had shockingly noisy, confusing patterns"

There are a lot of dataset features that can appear extremely predictive based on simplistic statistical tests.  But for robust predictive models that don't also end up randomly discriminating against certain populations, you'll want to think long and hard about causality.

Here's a ridiculous (but still cool, IMO) prog-rock song I recorded on 4-track cassette back in the mid 90's, with a college friend who regretfully couldn't start a prog-rock band with me because of our academic pursuits.

Perhaps this is a known issue but the Degen vault locking process doesn't work when you have two adresses associated with your Warpcast account.   It seems to only work with a specific one. And the specific one it wanted me to use was not actually the address where I had been receiving my Degen airdrops.

Block with abandon I say.  I *love* the fact that farcaster is a censorship resistant platform. That puts curation into *our* hands, not some centralized party. Blocking is one of the best curation tools you have. Use it!

The problem with muting is your followers are still subjected to their nonsense.  If their content isn't worth your time, it shouldn't be worth the time of your followers either.  Normalize blocking I say.

OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities.

We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight.

This is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves.

In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear.

I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind.

Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry.

Onwards 🌊⛵️

Sometimes it seems like the SEC is almost trying to discredit itself 🤷

I enjoy blocking! Cleans up my feed and the conversations I engage in, for both me and my followers. Win win. I don't give toxicity a platform.

Blocking is good for you (and your followers).  Don't feel bad about it, normalize it!

I'm afraid to click on threads / expand casts in the web client because when I return to my stream it's often entirely re-ordered and content is almost completely changed.  Any way to fix this?  (Besides giving us a chronological feed?)

I guess I started an accidental AMA on which parts of the crypto space are good and which I'm so far not excited about, along with other big picture vision questions:

You should feel free to ask questions here too! Let's see if Farcaster can come up with higher-quality questions than the other app :)

Farcaster winning hands down IMO!
