The market wants to go up. People are looking for reasons to push back in. Hot air rises. 

The question is whether that desire to go long meaningfully reverses after enough chaos.

What's your opinion on X articles? 

I usually open traditional weblink articles in another tab to read later and I haven't found a flow I like yet for X articles.

Liquidity is not static, it flows. Networked systems make the flows more visible and more valuable.

Stablecoins are the most interesting cross-chain asset because dollars are the universal unit of account.

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.

Very cool, great partnership, congrats. 

Made a Para passkey wallet in 10 seconds. Was ready to buy an ENS but the Moonpay debit checkout failed. Sigh.

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.
