NFT is exactly the natural mechanism that humans use for social signaling in the digital world.

There will always be parents and children waiting for you at home.

There are a few relatives and friends who got married during the New Year, and the share money also costs 3,000 yuan.

meme aside (lol), Clout would be better as a v2 Frame*
- wouldn't have to switch back and forth b/w two apps
- social context / feed is integrated for discoverability / decisions
- can link other addresses for leaderboards, utility, etc.

*and with better aligned incentives. maybe /stack can experiment here.

1. Ethereum is ready for institutional adoption. The L2 roadmap has unlocked capacity to bring the financial system onchain, into the largest and most battle tested ecosystem. 

The time is right for orgs like @etherealizeio to scale up business development for finance.

Coinbase made an NFT marketplace last cycle that had them competing in the meta. (It’s now integrated into core product bc nfts were tulips).

Coinbase should make a memecoin trading platform to compete this cycle. A simplified version of Coinbase Wallet that’s just for degens and shows the power of Base. Include Solana, and tokens like $DEGEN that bridge both. This would probably be a product of this cycle and die but they’d be able to 

a) leverage their on-ramp to get people on Base
b) get retail-side data on degen behaviors 
c) make some of that sweet degen moola
d) compete with the meta / marketing splash

idk time to build an mvp of this with the right people is probably 2 weeks. seems like a no brainer.

This is a good idea. 

Vertically integrate onramp + smart wallet (with Solana support) + swap and send. 

Allow for much larger initial buys because of the anti-fraud moat

No other features.

Hey @jpren.eth I just stumbled upon /the-arena. How does one get nominated? I’m building orbiter.host, the easiest way to host static sites (built on top of IPFS and Base).

Don't be sentimental, friends, have fun when you should have fun, and part when you should part, and accept this loneliness when you part.

I am once again recommending this book 

Has been a huge influence on me: has gotten me to change my mind about my beliefs on tech reg, shaped my view of the future

It is better for your career to do nothing, than to do something and attract criticism.
