appreciation

Still here. Still trying.
Even on the days when motivation disappears.
Even when no one sees the effort.
I’m showing up—for myself.😐 😐 😐

i’m working on getting some friends with bigger accounts on X more active on farcaster. 

ily all, but would be stoked to see greater diversity of content. 

i’m looking forward to re-introducing a few folks who are niche content creators that i think would do well here.

their biggest hesitation stems from having to rebuild an audience from scratch, so i hope you’ll join me in welcoming them when / if they make it here 👋🏽

Good morning, everyone!
We spend so much of our time just getting from place to place—so why not take a moment to notice the beauty along the way? Sometimes the best parts of the day are right there on the road.

Life is indeed good. Now that you're young, make wise decisions, waste no time because you'll not remain young forever. Build solid relationships because it's also a very important investment. You'll enjoy your old age if you actually utilize your youthful age well.

Absolutely agree. That’s such a powerful reminder. Youth feels endless when you're in it, but time flies—building wisely now sets the foundation for a fulfilling future. Solid relationships, meaningful goals, and thoughtful choices really do pay off in the long run. Thanks for sharing this!

Wednesday's done, let the weekend countdown begin!

9. Getting capital formation onchain

denver is lowkey stressful because you can’t just chill anywhere. $100+ for two people to get a small lunch, $40 to go to a cafe, etc. just feels egregious for the quality.

I've seen mixed reactions to Zora combining pictures and tokens. I could be wrong but this feels ... right. 

It's fascinating. Its like fractionalizing NFTs without having to fractionalize a thing. You can own a lot or you can own a little. 

You can flex being the biggest holder, or you can just support your favorite artist with $5. 

The only thing that separates this from existing 1/1s or open editions is how platforms display them. By owning any amount of these tokens you own "the picture". The amount you put in is up to you. 

I get the sense artists hate this because it further pushes art into some kind of financial asset, but this is fascinating and I hope more artists use it and it catches on. 

NFTs were always financial. Artists wanted a new way to monetize their work. They required a mental leap to embrace a new concept of ownership. Seems like that is also the case here. 

This solves the royalty debate. I assume the artist earns fees on every swap.

Science

Bermuda’s compasses fail, planes vanish—strong magnetism or currents? The mechanics behind the disappearances stay shrouded.

Life is good because of the countless opportunities it offers for growth, connection, and joy. Every day brings new experiences, lessons, and moments to cherish. Whether it's the warmth of relationships, the beauty of nature, the pursuit of passions, or the simple pleasures like a good meal or a heartfelt laugh, life is filled with reasons to appreciate its goodness. It's also in the resilience we find during challenges and the hope we carry for the future. Life is good because it is a gift, full of potential and meaning, waiting to be embraced.

Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect.

Base

Growth doesn’t happen overnight, nor does it happen in the most obvious ways. Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments of solitude, when the world slows down, that allow us to hear our own hearts and truly understand who we are becoming. Each day brings new opportunities to unfold, new lessons to learn, and the chance to become more than we were the day before. It’s the gentle unfolding of our own potential that makes life truly extraordinary.

The best stories are those that resonate in your soul long after the last page.

Coffee, crypto charts, and a dash of chaos—today’s vibe.
