Finding joy in the little things makes life’s journey more meaningful and memorable, even amidst everyday struggles.

Sometimes, the hardest part of starting is overcoming the fear of failure and just taking the first step.

Our greatest strength is our ability to adapt and find hope, even when faced with life’s toughest challenges.

Pursue your passions relentlessly, for only by following your true calling can you achieve genuine fulfillment and happiness.

Life’s beauty often lies in its imperfections and the unpredictable paths we take to discover our true selves.

IMHO, L2Beat's/Vitalik's Stages are incomplete. For Stage 2, in addition, 

- Alternate sequencing triggered within 1 epoch (i.e. 6.4 minutes). Currently, Optimism is 12 hours, which is not acceptable (preferably, there's real-time distributed sequencing) 
- Security council has pause rights only; upgrades even for onchain provable bugs must go through governance, emergency path with >X% approval

Then, there should be an optional Stage 3, or Stage X, where:

- Based or based-like sequencing is mandated
- Security council is dissolved
- Smart contracts upgrades require >Y% (80%?) approval from the protocol's full governance, in addition to >30d delay

For big-tent high-value L2s like Arbitrum One, Stage 3 should be the target. For most, Stage 2 should be perfectly fine, and even Stage 1 enough for many lower-value app-specific L2s.

In the past, I've mentioned many times that upgrade rights to Security Council are not good enough for Stage 1, and that they should only come with freeze or pause rights. That's why I cannot recommend anyone use Arbitrum One or OP Mainnet despite being Stage 1 according to L2Beat. Glad to see that is the case for ZKSync. In addition, I'd like to see an elected Security Council for Stage 1, a unilaterally selected Security Council is also not good enough. (E.g. OP just held its first elections, hope ZKSync will do so soon) 

I have also expressed my opinion on some aspects of Stage 2 being not good enough, you can see that here: https://warpcast.com/polynya/0x6131e8f0

(Disclaimer: I hold some $ZK tokens and am a delegate for both ZK Nation and OP Collective)

im very late, but i just discovered 3blue1brown and damn is this channel good

cbBTC is onchain.

cbBTC is an ERC20 token that is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin (BTC) held by Coinbase.

This means millions of BTC holders can now securely access DeFi apps on Base and Ethereum ecosystems—with more chains coming soon.

we are going to build a massive Bitcoin economy on @base — today is day one

Every time I listen to Melodrama it's even better than I remembered. Unbelievable stuff.

the Ethereum Commons produces three resources. these can't be wholly owned w/o compromising their integrity

different kinds of value are bound up in productive processes: block-building, validating, maintaining software

$ will engage here to extract from the unownable whole

ok updates

 - "media" replaces "software" as the more general resource type
- first pass to fill out the venn examples. what's missing?
- commons designation moved to outside

Big little detail: 

We made it easy to save posts to your camera roll. 

Just tap the menu in the top right of a post.

Adults could previously offer kids advice about the future. That’s no longer the case.

how do you make it so that a frame shows up like this in the cast, instead of fully loaded?
