staking will become increasingly valuable as the Fed starts to cuts rates (as will all other risk assets)

what happens when the 10yr drops below the APR of your validator set? 

seems to be an inflection point there

If you weren’t born into money college (and housing) are now almost impossible in the US

I played competitive soccer through college

my favorite mantra was "leave it all on the field"

try and live that every day

heard someone (partner at top vc) describe the opportunity set for blockchain enabled tech as replacing the trust layer of the economy

banks, compliance, auditors, verifiers

agree?

he made a pretty compelling case

- a16z's $7b fund = indicator for how LPs feel about VC asset class

- many LPs take a barbell approach to VC

- beta (2-3x returns) is achieved via large funds like a16z 

- alpha (5x+ returns) is achieved via emerging managers 

- now LPs have re-upped on beta, i expect to see them take positions in emerging managers

I prefer the term 'core-satellite' to represent such a strategy 

A few core managers to get beta (expectation of alpha via manager selection), then back a few emerging funds who may drastically outperform 

Sizing follows suit

im actively making a habit change to gifting 10 warps instead of tipping degen.

so if you see both warps & degen coming your way, bear with me. im habit-transitioning

this is the most likely outcome 

from a business prospective, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to allow a ~$1B FDV token to proliferate throughout the farcaster ecosystem without integrating a competing tipping mechanism whos value capture flows back to the software development team

positioning accordingly

@jessepollak why does unbridging from base take 7 days?

in hindsight, it was inevitable
