it takes more than a couple days of shaky markets to get me worked up... 

Convergence between networks that move information and networks that move value. 

From digital money to programmable money to networked money.

People seem to love paying a premium to lose money.. 

Don't try and fight the technological trend. Crypto, AI, etc. 

Fighting the tech isn't going to work. Need to make it work for you. 

Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?

We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago. 

We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

Reduce friction in your product every way you can.

Wyoming Governor Says State’s Long-Planned Stablecoin Could Launch by July

Wyoming's planned stablecoin—first proposed in 2022—will work across Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and multiple ETH scaling networks.


Not sure how this attracts TVL but I like it.

Ethereum

/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

Ethereum is stronger than ever, it’s still the king of defi, with more than half of all locked value sitting on eth. 

The same goes for stablecoins, most of them move through this network. Plus, with $68 billion worth of eth staked, its security is rock solid. 

Every cycle, it hasn’t just survived, it’s gotten stronger. Bottom line, if there’s going to be a solid foundation for the future of digital finance, it’s definitely ethereum 🔥

Ethereum both has a great long term roadmap yet might possibly get might possibly get flipped. 

It's not either/or.

Have always found these quite striking. Decided it's a good time to pick one up. 

Across the Face by @osinachiart

Payment processor fees for accepting stablecoins will end up around .1%.

I expect someone to eventually take the plunge to first to .5%, then a slow grind down. 

That's when you'll start seeing the payments adoption jump.

Networked money that flows autonomously wherever it needs to go. 

⚡️

More cypherpunk stablecoins please. 

Uncensorable crypto dollars that don't touch fiat rails. 

Networked financial assets that flow where needed to anybody who wishes to participate.

You don't fix broken institutions, you replace them with something brand new. 

Financial intermediaries exist precisely because most value isn't natively networked. 

Money wants to be networked and geographic borders want to be irrelevant. 

The technology is just evolving to meet this.
