Have to go and explain to my wife that the ugly phone collecting dust in the corner just received $800 worth of penguin-themed magic internet money.

A walk down crypto trench memory lane 1. The Poloniex Trollbox Pre-Binance, Poloniex (aka "Polo") was one of the OG exchanges that listed all the Bitcoin forks and PoW sh*tcoins. The live Trollbox provided a great read of the market, you just had to accept being called a r****d every other msg.

Seeing pictures of the Interstellar IMAX rerelease in the US gives me massive FOMO. 10 years ago, I saw it during the premier in 70mm at the BFI IMAX in London. This single shot of the Endurance spacecraft as a tiny speck with Saturn as backdrop made it the single best movie experience I've ever been to.

If you care about tech and privacy in Europe: The European Commission was caught red-handed by its own supervising agency for illegal political microtargeting on X/Twitter. The EC violated the very privacy rules they've been threatening Elon and other tech companies with..Total 🤡-show https://noyb.eu/en/political-microtargeting-eu-commission-illegal

Not sure if I'm more excited about 100k BTC or that after a multi-year quest I finally found an original release poster for NeXT computer signed by Paul Rand from 1988. imo the best tech branding of all time

Having lived in London myself, the Barbican is a typical "hate it or love it" discussion topic. The fact that many of the Coruscant shots in Andor were filmed there makes me love it even more lol. https://x.com/DesigningFilm/status/1707860720694771725

Join the /andor channel! Since joining Warpcast 2 years ago, it's been my screengrabs and comments about the greatness of Andor that have been getting most love. If you're a fan and can't wait for the next season, join the resistance!

I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts.

Getting the same vibes on Farcaster & Warpcast as in Q1 2017 when only a handful of people were looking at ICOs and tokens. A great time to make connections for life, but also a time to be prudent and set standards for what was to come!

Business Development in Crypto: A bunch of friends asked me for advice on BD roles in crypto, so I figured I'll cast more about this subject. The main rule is: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IS JUST SALES Bc "Sales" sounds left curve, the MBA (Mediocre But Arrogant) crowd had to give it other terms such as BD/partnerships/etc/etc. (disclaimer: I have an MBA lol).Once you accept that BD is JUST sales, the hiring journey is much easier. My criteria: 1. Product obsessed: If you don't know it, how are you going to sell it? Want to work for a DEX? Learn the hard way what "impermanent" loss is, and explain it. 2. Mental Rolodex: Recognize all the faces and situations. It's 10x easier to sell to someone you've met before even if they don't remember. Saw the founder of Protocol X at a distance on a Bangkok rooftop? Enough of a reason to ping him on TG. 3. Hold a conversation: Pick up the phone and talk. It's that simple. The number of BD people in crypto that do not want to jump on an impromptu call will amaze you :)

Do not confuse activity with progress: We're getting to that part of the cycle where getting "too busy" is dangerous. Whether it's at work or trading the latest meta's, saying no will pay off 10x. Work: Decline all vague invites/calendly's/inbounds Trading: Ignore 99% of all new tokens, a generational entry on 1 is enough It's that simple, but oh so hard.
