The new episode of The Engine is up!

We are talking about Building in DeFi.

Our guests are Yoshua Urioste, Head of Bizdev at Silo and Beachball, core contributor at Synonym.

TL;DR: Now is really the time to build DeFi - the infrastructure is here, the institutions are here, Bitcoin community is ready to be Ethereum pilled. The regulation will just have to catch up. Let’s go!

The new episode of @theengine is up!

Beachball and Tenzents shared their takes on -
🛠️ building with community
🔋 harnessing degen energy
💊 Ethereum pilling Bitcoiners
and how epic the combination of BTC as collateral and DeFi instruments is (wink wink, @threshold)

Pro tip: follow the "intern" accounts for real DeFi alpha. 🔥

The Engine is a source of alpha for builders by builders.

A show, a newsletter, and a podcast.

Presenting "We Finally Found You," another AI sci-fi short film by yours truly telling the story of an alien race and their perspective on humanity and their gratitude for our existence. 

This film used some of my favorite AI tools: Midjourney, Runway, Udio, Lumalabs, Elevenlabs, and CapCut.

What makes CT so poisonous?

It’s my job to be on it but I literally get anxiety after 2 minutes of scrolling.

Degen

When did the term “degen” come into crypto? 

Did people use it in 2014? 2018?

We talked about crypto and govt.

We did not mention SAB121 or ETH ETFs, which I think is a good thing. 

You've heard enough about them.

The House of Representatives made history today by passing the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21). 

FIT21’s success is proof that protecting blockchain technology in the U.S. has strong, bipartisan support.

Where should I live?

We've all asked ourselves that question at some point.

If you're chasing a dream in tech or business. Traditionally, that would mean heading to San Francisco or New York. But is it still true?

Do you feel you have to live in NYC or SF to succeed as a builder?

Gm fam! Kicking off the weekend with some intervals 🚵‍♀️

Hey folks! This is a topic I’m really passionate about and have been working on for the last few months. It’s going to be a multi-part video series delving into philosophical questions that Buddhism can raise for the AI conversation.

Loved @minh’s new talk on AI and Buddhism. 

There’s more to life than Warpcast frames, anon. 💜

Happy Monday fam.
Together we’ll get through it.
