My 2025 resolution is to keep becoming even more myself

/new-york by day 🗽 /untzuntz by night 😈 Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮

funny, it told me i should connect with you

i think the slope (change in price, whether positive or negative) more accurately represents attention

also its attention specifically from the types of ppl who buy/sell coins. so while Trump may be as relevant as ever, he's far less relevant to daytraders than he was when he launched the coin

Writing has made me a better person. It’s made me more myself

The thing is, “tech” is a lot closer to religion that most in tech are willing to admit.

AI gods and the prophets who claim to foresee that future, singularity heaven, climate change and decel hell, ritualistic scrolling first thing in the morning and last thing at night…

HIGHER

Who has the best answer to this question?

Why should a cracked developer or designer who could theoretically create their own successful brand plug into Higher?

Higher is like Stripe Press.

You could publish your book anywhere. Great books and writers get attention anywhere.

But when you pick Stripe (and they pick you), it says something important to a specific group of ppl. It’s a strong credible signal of value and values

I’ve bought books from that signal alone

Amps.fun helps you get paid when friends post.

Mmm great idea. Been thinking a lot about how to quantify nonfinancial value

Farcaster

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Makes sense. I keep forgetting I’m not the typical user

I think instead of import/export I’d prefer to add/remove EOAs as signers to a single scw

Founders

Next time call me, I’ll remind you 😀

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

When you’re excited about a project, you just wanna jump into it

Warpcast is an FC client and a wallet

Coinbase Wallet is (soon gonna be) an FC client and a wallet

Are they the same wallet?? 

Portable social network + portable smart contract wallet would be such an unlock

FarCon NYC

We are officially 10 weeks out 🙂

One thing I loved about last year's FarCon was how much it embraced and captured SoCal/LA vibes - an indoor/outdoor venue, steps away from one of the most iconic beaches in CA, incorporating local restaurants for lunch, color palette/branding, etc. 

It felt like "LA's love letter to Farcaster" ...which made me think a lot about what the New York version of FarCon LA could be.  Last fall, I started crowdsourcing some ideas over dinner about what "bringing New York to Farcaster" could look like (h/t @yb @rubinovitz @dylsteck.eth @zinger).  What we are planning with our partners has already far exceeded my expectations and has made me love this city and community even more -- we can't wait to share it with all of you!!!

(Also part of being a New Yorker is (slightly obnoxiously) thinking New York is the center of the universe so thanks in advance for indulging us for just one weekend 🗽)

Emma has been working incredibly hard to make /farcon-nyc an amazing experience. 

Shes not a member of the Merkle/Farcaster team. She’s a hyper competent volunteer who loves this community.

Remember that this is a COMMUNITY driven event.

Get waitlisted? Don’t take it out on Emma who is doing her best to  a weed through a bunch of competitive applications for a small amount of spots.

Don’t feel like there’s enough of your thing at the main event? Throw a side event for your thing.

We’re all the cabal.

I’m a Gwern. He liked one of my tweets once, I’ll never forget it 🥺

Design

This idea (like most great things in life) first came to me from my wife

Great thread, ty for sharing

The contrarian in me feels vindicated in my rebellion against this phenomenon. I own almost no black or white clothes and try not to buy greyscale things
