Farcaster

Why I subscribed to farcaster pro:
- I've already received ~$50 in airdrops from farcaster.
- I've already made $70+ just by holding farcaster-related tokens and being early.

Pays for itself.

Join me for the FastJPEG launch — where creators launch coins and build communities.

Football

Really loving @farcade . Having played since there were only about 8 games on there, it's now like miniclip or armorgames or any of those old online game sites. Genuinely exciting seeing the speed that new games are being created, and the possibilities of how this will evolve.

Our next Brighton Blockchain talk is on Thursday! Paragliding instructor @tigercox will be talking about how blockchain systems could be used in some innovative ways. It will also be streamed online for those who can't make it in person!

Ethereum

Hot take: People who say 'there are no apps' are people who aren't using apps, aren't looking for apps, and haven't even downloaded a web3-enabled wallet. They keep their crypto on a CEX and have never spent ETH in their life.

Arsenal really love red cards, don't they?

I'm giving a talk on Thursday! If you're not in the great city of Brighton, you can join in online:

Chris Wood has more FPL points than Erling Haaland.
Let that sink in...

can't decide whether to name my firstborn 'ethereum' or 'vitalik'. 

Guess I've just got to have 2 kids.

I thought this was a really useful simplification of Vitalik's recent posts: https://x.com/evan_van_ness/status/1851499710835748939

Does anyone else know of any ELI5-style explainers of Vitalik's blog posts? Or ELI5-style ethereum resources in general

ETHEREUM ROADMAP EXPLAINER FOR THE REST OF US, part 1 

This thread will attempt to dumb down @VitalikButerin's series so that even the your average political science major like me can understand it

Let's discuss part 1, "The Merge" which happened on September 15, 2022

The thing I disliked the most about Erik Ten Hag was that people would refer to him by his initials - ETH - and I would think they were talking about Ethereum

Danny Welbeck, at 33 years old, is in the form of his life.

The Superchain 🔴🔵⚪️🟡🟢⚫️

🔴 Use the Superchain, and reap the benefits 🔴

Today, @Optimism unveils Airdrop #5:

Onchain together, benefit together.

10M+ OP has been allocated to 54k+ unique addresses.

As of today, roughly 550M OP remains for future airdrops.

Just got 500 OP, yay! The most insane thing about this is it's only using 2% of the total OP allocated for airdrops.
In other words, there will be 49 more airdrops like this!
