Shout out to Blueprint (cc @levy) for getting me to try @zerion.eth, liking it way more than expected! I use and have several wallets installed, but it's quickly becoming my daily driver 🍻

Can I just take a moment to throw some flowers to the @pods team for their new frames v2 implementation? You can now post a pod episode (like this one I released yesterday featuring @slokh from @anoncast) and with one click, fans can watch the embedded YouTube video, mint an onchain edition or click out to Spotify, all from the Farcaster feed. The future is now! https://pods.media/zeropod/without-a-trace-featuring-anoncast-founder-kartik-patel-aka-slokh-zeropod-s2-e4?referrer=0xBaA0ee89bf12753d6317E353cb4fB1DC94230341

It'd be cool to see something like what Daylight does around mint discovery, applied to channels instead. Thinking: - Independent of auth: popular, trending, new - With auth, leverage your social graph: channels many of my friends are following, channels they're active in, etc...

What's the best way to sort through and discover new channels? Surely someone has built that right?

Boring News by @packy has quickly become a daily listen, check it out if you haven't already! Big fan of the format and what he's cooking up over there -- the AI-generated output is very well done (not your run of the mill NotebookLM pod), it's high signal no fluff, and the added Polymarket angle is super cool! 🔥

Wasn't my original intent, but happy to refer you and we can split the referral bonus (can just send you USDC)! 😜 Quick rundown: - 2% back on everything, minimum. Can do better on hotels/cars/flights if you book through the portal. Great for Costco. - $395 annual fee, but you get $300 of that back for booking any kind of travel through the portal (which is actually *really* good). So as long as you take one trip per year, you're down to $95/year annual fee. - Beginning on your first anniversary, you get 10K bonus miles (~$100-200 depending on how you value them), so at that point, you're already on the black in terms of the annual fee. - The lounges are sick and super modern (e.g. ton of grab and go snacks/begs) and they're continuing to build out more of them. You can also bring in guests for free (which you can't do with Amex these days) and they're generally not as crowded. lol WC is cutting me off, you get the gist!

It was a little bit better historically, but it just doesn't live up to the hype these days. My Capital One Venture X ($395/year) easily pays for itself with almost zero effort, I get 2% back on everything (vs the Plat is only worth using on flights specifically), and I can add additional cardholders for free. Plus, the lounges are way better and less crowded, the travel portal is actually sick (previously Hopper iirc), it serves as primary insurance for car rentals, the app/site are really good, etc... Amex just keeps adding dumb coupons and increasing the annual fee 🤷‍♂️

Don't even get me started! 😅 At a high level: - It's a glorified coupon book: you have to put in work to recoup the value, and even then, the annual fee dwarfs it. - It's an outdated status symbol that too few people re-evaluate from first principles in 2024/2025. Could literally write 10,000 words on this topic and break it down way further, but suffice it to say, I have or have tried all of the premium credit cards and I'd take a Venture X or even a Sapphire Reserve wayyyyy before an Amex Platinum. It's just so hilariously off the mark. SoulCycle/Equinox? Cool... airline credit? Only for incidentals. Hotel credit? Only at very expensive hotels where that amount of money is a rounding error. Could go on and on, I don't know what they're doing over there 😑

American Express (esp Platinum) is insanely overrated
