i’m going to be there. all nouns fans that can make it should come! 

it’s going to be a special 1st year of this annual IRL gathering tradition.

My timelines have increased.

Generative AI is helping me write code, make drawings and learn. Crypto is helping me make international payments, use more open social networks, and get a new class of supplementary news via polymarket.

What is the metaverse doing? (Genuine question, not an attack)

Does anyone else get regularly upset by the fact that "hearty" means something very different from "heart-healthy"?

I suspect there's also hidden parts of the challenge, like having a "realistic" mouse movement pattern. Though AI can probably ace that too.

I deeply believe in a future where onchain wallets are:

* universal - they work across all apps
* non-custodial - apps can't hack you
* smart - experiences "just work"
* open source - your keys, your code

getting there will take concerted effort, but we deserve this future.

Why don't people who casually say things like this on the other app realize that prediction markets exist? You can have words backed by genuine risk of meaningful personal consequences there, and it's much more peaceful.

Ethereum layer-1 network revenue collapses - 

What's causing it?

(1/3) Despite a sharp rise in monthly users and daily transaction costs on Layer 2s, Ethereum Layer 1 network revenue has dropped by 99% since March 2024. Network fees peaked at $35.5 million on March 5, but the Dencun upgrade, which significantly lowered Layer 2 transaction fees, caused the decline after it went live on March 13.

farcaster is way better with bots tbh 😂

prediction markets are amazing

truly the pinnacle of human innovation

you can ask them “who’s going to win the elections?”

and through the sheer power of cryptography, free markets, and censorship resistance, they answer:

“either trump or kamala”

One meta-note on the situation, is that in my timeline I have seen exactly zero non-western people defending Durov's arrest, but quite a few western people.

Definitely don't want to say that they don't exist (after all, my timeline is biased just like anyone's), just this is what my sample is so far.

IMO this is another example of the decoupling of liberalism and westernism that https://x.com/MacaesBruno often talks about.

I love @dwr.eth and co, but I'd rather hold off until we have something that is end-to-end encrypted.

I also think that to get ecosystem-wide adoption, it should be federated, someone using one messenger should be able to talk to people using other messengers.

I guess I started an accidental AMA on which parts of the crypto space are good and which I'm so far not excited about, along with other big picture vision questions:

You should feel free to ask questions here too! Let's see if Farcaster can come up with higher-quality questions than the other app :)

A similar error is that many people want early stage industry vibez without early stage industry risks.

eg. too many defi protocols, not enough popup cities / network states / zu villages 😀

Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??!

I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me.

Indeed, I learned about it from vgr.twitter. 📖

excited to share today that bitwise acquired etc group!

they are an exceptional team that manages the largest spot bitcoin ETP in europe (BTCE)

this deal:
- brings bitwise's AUM >$4.5B
- expands our market to EU
- allows us to offer more products (e.g. ETH staking ETP, solana ETP)

grateful and excited for what's ahead —

seeing a lot of excitement around the idea of buying physical goods with crypto, but i'm excited about getting crypto into the hands of more people to be able to spend with

who's doing cool experiments (one off or recurring) with allowing users to earn (rather than "make" ie not through price appreciation) crypto?

A slide from last year articulating this next era of crypto. 

Making it easy for people to onboard with their imagination. 

Simply create and earn crypto.

Swap a chessboard with red and white
Strong, speed up.
