The whole pub was nearly silent after that second rice goal, just speechless – I am on Mars what a result

Russia: Our country will become a great superpower, and Trump will help it 

Only Russia, Belarus, North Korea and Cuba, the first three of which are involved in the war of aggression in Ukraine, escaped US tariff fire. Russian experts see this as an opportunity for Russia. 🧵

Great thread. Makes me think back to what you find if you simply google “Trump Russia 1988”…

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

(2/2)

that systems can be rebuilt.
that truth can be encoded and run forever.
permissionless. borderless. unbreakable.
a place where we aren’t just consumers.
but co-authors.
and yes, it looks like ashes now.

but you’ve read this chapter before.
you know how it ends.

just believe in the work.
believe in each other.
believe in the version of you
that stayed when it stopped being easy.
because when this cycle returns,
and it will return,
they’ll ask how you survived.
and you’ll smile and say:

“i didn’t.

i was reborn.”

Beautifully put. It’s time to be bullish on radical structural change

Law & Policy

Been on holiday the last few days so have had a nice break from all things policy – but it is so important to make clear that the DOGE war against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be a TERRIBLE thing for crypto and how most people interact with it… 🧵

How has Tarkowski not been sent off there

Amsterdam

Going to Amsterdam for the first time soon – any food/drink recommendations?

In another chapter of my “I told you so” saga about just how insane Trump is going to be – he’s now threatened Iran with bombings and hinted at military action in Greenland. WW3 is right around the corner

Reposting this in light of the new tariff announcements!

Fitness

Love going to the gym on the weekends. Nice and quiet, plenty time. Got a proper, nice long session out and hit some PBs. Top

Very very important point here about money and politics https://x.com/bharatramamurti/status/1905594268460167546?s=46

Also important to mention that Musk stands to gain massively if the BEAD programme is altered as the GOP will open funding to satellite services – meaning Starlink would likely get billions in federal funding. He spreads a message about cutting unnecessary spending but is simply redirecting it to himself

I’ve been so inactive on here this week because every time I come on to post a take I see news about some other new completely insane thing the Trump admin has done. All while the UK government brings back austerity. Terrible week for politics

I scored 2400 points in the Memory Match game on Falsenine! 🎮

Running

Distance and pace are almost certainly wrong (running in the centre of a city) but if estimate shout 6.8-7km is more accurate a distance for my usual pace. Still, longest I’ve done in a little while so feeling great

I scored 7 goals in Farcaster Football on the @atlas frame!

I scored 100 points in the Football Quiz on Falsenine! 🏆

Regulation and policy. Have a background in politics and competition economics. Decentralise, redistribute, rebel
