It’s a limited series on which my ultimate judgment will be reserved until after its completion but, 5 out of 8 episodes in, “Sugar” on Apple TV seems poised to be somewhere between great and excellent in my book.

I was never of the opinion that “blockchain” or “web3” would prevail as the preeminent term over “crypto” — blockchain felt too corporate and web3 felt like a VC force and had too many spelling variations. Now, it’s still extremely early (Google Trend <1), but I’d make a venture bet on “onchain”.

I like reading books more for perspective immersion than for knowledge retention.

Founders tend to ignore relatively low-probability existential risks to their business for the practical purpose of being able to operate closer to the cutting edge. Ex: Most ppl building anything in crypto are implicitly rounding probably of failure for their favorite L1 to 0. And reasonably so, even tho it’s not.

There may soon come a time at which the risks of over-correcting on wokeness could be greater than the risks of wokeness itself. I don’t think we’re there yet. There is still way too much wokeness in the world. But because of the way the momentum swings, that point may be significantly sooner than most think.

Anyone technical want to help me build an NFT PFP project on Base? It should be roughly a one-weekend project for the first step which is comparable to a simple NFT PFP project in terms of time and difficulty. Next steps would be harder and take longer. Would compensate for time and share in proceeds. @bountybot

Stripe news is good excuse to remind everyone Visa still has a larger market cap than Ethereum, Solana, and USDC combined. It is still early, fellow casters.

Ask: Link me your favorite 1 gallon glass (or otherwise dishwasher safe) water-holding apparatus (bottle). Context: Hydration is an underrated leg of health and longevity relative to diet and exercise. Many people chronically dehydrated. I used to be. Have used specific water bottles to fix it. But hassles to clean.
