Memes

I am nearing my half-decade involvement in crypto. 

Best decision I’ve ever made. Very excited for my next half-decade.

it’s 4am at the airport and I feel like I’m in one of the metaliminal spaces 

the uber driver this morning was listening to an obscure radio station about aliens. but the radio presenters were legit - like talking about a 5 step process on how to learn about aliens. 

when it cut out he was just listening to static. Felt ominous

Complete de-banking could lead to greater regulatory pressure.

So, I basically sold all the memes I had on that day.

In contrast, Hong Kong has not yet seen any institutions or projects with

hiring the wrong person is the worst. i've been there! no fun

the key way to avoid this is by asking for thorough references and *following up* with those references

we ask for your last 5 managers at icebreaker, and we follow up with them. that process is incredibly insightful

Founders

Alright I was definitely an idiot two years ago. I think I’ve got life figured out now though.

Consumer Crypto

summary of what i'm hearing from builders about the mini-app platforms...

- farcaster: big upgrade in dev experience with frames v2, seeing strong retention w/ improved discoverability, notifs performing crazy well, but obvs limited audience.
- worldcoin: user numbers are attractive, but meaningful lift to adapt product for the platform and actual usage / engagement underwhelming.
- telegram: still king with massive audience, stars make onboarding / monetizing non-crypto audiences way easier, easy build.

anyone have anything to add or having a different experience?

if you’re not taking advantage of frame notifications, you should be!
