Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's cheap gas in the future, blobs are ready.

"It's basically like, 'I have no belief system rooted in a culture, and a long history, so therefore I am a la carte assembling it via the Apple Podcast app.' Jesus!" An all time great line from @dwr.eth in Episode 64 😂

Congrats to @moritz and @metony on the launch of Fluidkey. One of the most rewarding things you can see happen as a developer is people building on top of things you contributed to. Love to see the foundational work we've played a part in being productized!

For a couple of years, I wrote a modestly popular tech-focused crypto newsletter. In 2018, in the 11th issue, I wrote that ENS and Gitcoin were two of the handful of projects I believed had real staying power. At the risk of breaking my arm to pat myself on the back, I think this was a pretty prescient call 😇

The fact that you can't rely on a given (contract) address on chain A and chain B being controlled by the same entity is a much bigger problem for building better cross chain experiences than most people realize. It's also a barrier for AA adoption.

Some important things to watch out for in order to get a sense of Farcaster's long term viability: 1) how long does it take the hype cycle to slow down, because it inevitably will, and how much does it "crash" vs. level off 2) how does community/vibe hold up when that happens

How does Farcaster deal with bots? Moderation of channels--anything else?

What DAOs can *not* do: solve problems inherent in human organizations, like bureaucracy, politics, etc... What DAOs *can* do: enable new kinds cross-jurisdictional, internet native organizations of shapes, sizes and scales not feasible before. The first thing is impossible. The second thing is a big deal nonetheless

Honest question, not rhetorical. Is airdrop speculation driving a meaningful portion of Farcaster usage? And if so, is that a good, bad or neutral?

What's a fun crypto native thing to do with an extra Mac mini? M1 with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB drive. Have used it to run all manner of nodes and validators in the past. Looking for something interesting to do with it.
