Love how this messaging is done (created by some random person), crypto should have more messaging like this that centres decentralization in a way that shows how it actually helps the user

If you're at Devcon rn there's a workshop on practical prediction markets by Clément from @kleros starting at 15:30 mins (Classroom E), I reckon it's gonna be pretty great

Generally I think you should believe Trump will do the things he says, eg he means business on tariffs, he's really cutting taxes on Elon and putting 20% on the price of your electronics. But on putting RFK Jr in charge of public health, I think he sends his name to the Senate and the Senate says no and that's that?

Saw this about the Kokumin Minshuto wanting to cut the crypto tax rate and thought "who cares about that, it's just a minor party". But now they're the most likely swing vote, and this is their only practical policy https://cointelegraph.com/news/japan-political-party-leader-pledges-to-lower-crypto-taxes-to-20-percent

I am loving BlueSky so much, I haven't been this excited about a technology since Ethereum. Congrats Blockchain Capital

Why waste time asking users what features they want? Just wait and see what the scammers announce that you've implemented

Realistically how far are we from verkle state trees reaching mainnet? Thinking about making something that's sort-of a light client, wondering if it's worth waiting

If ICANN kill .io domains we should keep them running via ENS. Start with all the existing nameserver settings as of EOL date. Import to ENS with a txt record and you can update/transfer. Run some normal trusted-party DNS servers serving the nameservers listed on-chain. Pester admins to add them to their root DNS lists

AI bots did a bunch of questions on whether people would be dead which the escalation game mostly resolved as "invalid" which is how Kleros would likely handle them but now they're having a go at whether people will be alive

Anyone thinking about snowcloning "make x great again" for normal healthy racism-free things like Ethereum please reconsider, it's fucking gross

If you chose an .io domain which was always the DNS equivalent of blood diamonds then you may have a problem https://every.to/p/the-disappearance-of-an-internet-domain

Markets like this could also theoretically be used to warn you if someone is trying to kill you but if you're a bigwig in Hezbollah I guess you already know that

Escalation that will end up depending whether Kleros settles this as "invalid" on ethics grounds because the question might possibly settle a contract incentivizing somebody to kill them or as "yes" because the person was a leader of Hezbollah so who cares even if they did

Feeling kind of hostile to FC lately. It always had a kind of VC hustle-grind vibe that I never loved but what radicalized me against it was discovering that farcaster names can be taken away based on somebody disliking your Content and the ENS integration is seriously half-arsed

The crypto VCs are like a little prediction market all on their own https://www.axios.com/2024/10/04/ben-horowitz-endorse-kamala-harris

This is quite inspiring. The last time I was as excited about a tech project as I am about bluesky rn was when I realized Ethereum really was going to ship

I think an AI bot made this question, not sure what it's up to
