Daily reminder to take opsec seriously if you work in crypto… this happened in broad daylight, 8:20am is very busy central/area. 3rd in 3 months this year. 2/3 fingers taken…

0) never talk about what you do in public (ironic posting on FC but don’t do it on instagram, bar, uber etc)
1) drop the AirPods in the streets
2) stay in shape (cardio and weight lifting), better take some self defense classes
3) use an SE iPhone (esp when traveling), comes with latest iOS costs $500, dont attract attention 
4) please stop walking around with 6-figures in CLANKER on your wallet
5) if you are considering coming to ETHCC in Cannes this year, please reconsider if you don’t have good opsec
6) read this https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/personal-physical-security/

American frens I see you coming with concealed carry but this is about prevention (applies more widely when you travel for example)

Degen

How do I stake DEGEN to start tipping? I might be dumb but I tried the Jacek and the Cashless apps and both don't seem to show any way to stake.

Went to degen.tips as well but I can't find anything that shows "Stake Degen here".

Any thoughts?

Base

An S&P500 company is now hodling an absolutely gargantuan amount of ETH.

Unfathomably based.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/coinbase-joining-sp-500-replacing-discover-financial.html

As much as people criticize Base, it's actually pretty nuts that Ethereum kind of really has become the future of finance (France). As Coinbase is part of the S&P500, Base is technically on the S&P500 too1

Now the question is whether or not that translates into revenue and upside for ETH holders.

OK fine I guess I'll finally learn about degen.

We now have a federally chartered bank that owns a yield-bearing stablecoin.

Great move by Anchorage.

Walk and talk?  I’d prefer a soak and joke.

politics

“To be honest, I don’t even think that this should be a partisan issue,” Slotkin told the Michigan Advance. “No matter who the president is, they shouldn’t be allowed to create a marketplace and what amounts to direct payments to the president and his family.”

Extropian Thinking:

Once you accept this new digital world where everything is financialized, you start thinking in terms of utility, value, and price.

$TRUMP is only valued at $2B MC, with $13B FDV. If you truly believe his token can be used for political influence, and if you recognize the price of a financial asset is the market's expectation of future returns, its kind of hilarious that startups are worth more than trying to bribe the president of the United States. The market is explicitly telling you bribing the president only gets you as far as 2 yards, maybe 10.

CVS Health is $85B for comparison, so the market is saying your grandma getting her meds is worth more than whatever the president can do for you.

The fact that I can see this in real time 24/7, trade what I think his influence is, and even if I don't like it, hedge it is a very wild thing.
