The Tianya Town at night is simply too romantic! Every little path leads to the sea～🎇

How are we making Farcaster easier to understand for new people

1. We're still considering rebranding Warpcast (back) to Farcaster. If we do that, will have an FIP. It will be controversial, but initial feedback from most developers actively building on the protocol is they are a supportive (with the goal of increasing users on the protocol). To be clear: this is not final /decided.

2. We rebranded frames to mini apps. This is a more literal name and in line with other popular ecosystems like Telegram. This is easier to understand for new developers.

3. We're gradually deprecating warps. We here this feedback a lot—what are warps and why do I need them—and moving most of the functionality of warps to USDC is much simpler (as well as being more composable).

4. We're working on cheaper / free sign ups. A lot of potential good new users churn at the $3 to sign up screen. Our goals are to 1) make it cheaper at the protocol for other apps and 2) free on Warpcast with a verification (we pay the protocol).

This chart shows you what America’s energy transition is really about: swapping coal for a lot of gas and a bit of wind and solar. 

One wonders how much nuclear would have tempered the gas surge if the U.S. had stayed the course after Fukushima.

Music

What are the best AI music tools?   

I'm curious if there's any tools that can take a rough demo and make it more polished or refined

Memes

A bear market is the best time to learn. Take the opportunity to calmly study projects and master technical skills. Only then can you seize the opportunities when the bull market returns. Be patient and wait; spring will come, and flowers will bloom. 🌱

Some hopium on what I'm bullish on:

• Farcaster: Best SocialFi app

• Web3 native cultural exports to Web2: Pudgy Penguins, Azukis, Miladies etc. Bearish cultural imports from Web2 to Web3

• Stablecoins that share upside with community: $ENA etc

• DeFi with PMF: Aave, Fluid, Maker, Pendle, etc.

• $ETH: Current UX is poor, but EIP-7702 and the new Open Intents Framework will improve it soon.

• New gen L2s (MegaETH) to validate Ethereum's modular vision

• Infinex, Hyperliquid and other onchain apps to challenge CEXs

• Gnosis Pay building onchain Revolut (via multiple products)

• InfoFi: Kaito, Ethos (reputation score), 0xPpl App (follow onchain trades)

• TradFi tokenization: Trade S&P500, $COIN onchain, and pumping liquidity to DeFi.

• New fundraising metas: Echo & Legion, but watch out for new money printing trends for best gains

• BTC as sovereign money

And most importantly, never ending crypto techno-optimism.

Continue up only, pls.

The biggest fear in cryptocurrency is not volatility, but losing faith in the future. 🌅

A mature person should dare to carry the responsibility

They have worked hard for most of their lives, and all they want is for their children to have a better life.

The burden of adulthood is already heavy, and at the end of the year, don't make it harder on yourself.

Asked me if there is a way to help introduce a few part-time jobs, tired and heavy does not matter, there is only one requirement is to get money fast, to get paid before the New Year.

The car loan could not be repaid, and the wife had to advance the children's tuition to fill the hole.

I've always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.

The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.

Only if you face the pain, bear the pain, and have an epiphany from the pain, you can be led by the wisdom of life, on the road to salvation.

What sins did you do in your past life to come and speculate on coins in this life

A coin a lot of people favor, this coin is finished

I'm experiencing a downgrade in my spending and want to buy an Android phone around 2000 yuan. Do you have any recommendations? Like Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo, OPPO, etc.

Is kneeling down to compromise snail in a corner, or to meet the challenge to stand on the peak, laughing about the past, is life can not get around the choice of the question.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
