What's rebounding now? What rebounds the quickest has the top mindshare. Buy the dip, anon...

Four cycles in, it amazes me how much of a drop in aggregate value I can stomach without losing a beat. It goes up, it goes down. The drama of a real time price feed... Look at the long term trends. And if you do start freaking out, stop clicking and go touch grass.

I was planning to do one simple transaction (claim NFT) on a wallet and then move onto other tasks for the day. It ended up sucking me in for 45 minutes to migrate a token, claim the NFT, move the NFT to a safe, prove safe ownership, etc. The UX around a lot of this crypto stuff is still really bad 😂

Early societies became successful because of food production and preservation techniques. Our guts evolved to eat foods preserved with natural ingredients (mainly salt) This year I've been exploring home pickling. Solid results so far (sauerkraut & kimchi were delicious!) After raiding my in-laws' lemon stash, today I'm pickling lemons - loosely based on a Moroccan recipe We'll find out if it's tasty next month!

Animal spirits push number go up. Fed worried about asset price inflation, suggests slower pace in future. Fear push number go down. Little harvest time for traders to sleep better. New news cycle catches attention. People stop worrying. Animal spirits push number go up.

Airdrops are neat. But it still feels icky to even sign a gasless message in a wallet. Time for a permissions check via revoke.cash (Frantically moving assets when you even sniff a compromised private key is such a pain)

A little bit surprised with the lack of chatter on FC about the $pengu airdrop. It is remarkable because of the breadth and size. They rewarded a lot of “OG Ethereum user” activity. Never having collected a PudgyPenguin, it was still one of the larger airdrops I’ve ever received, mainly for degen/DeFi activity in the last cycle. While we in crypto are “early”, I’m generally not an early adopter, nor a farmer, nor a whale. So, money falling from the sky was nice 💸🤌 And long live the airdrop!

Incredibly data rich presentation on global energy consumption: https://www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations Favorite tidbits: -don't waste food: the amount of global food waste is an emissions source the size of India -ai model searches are incredibly carbon-intense: a Google search is a tenth of the power consumption as a ChatGPT search

Highly recommend travel documentary: Chasing Bubbles The story of 25 year old Alex Rust and his journey around the world, by sailboat. If you have wanderlust, worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/@ChasingBubbles/videos h/t @phil for the great reco

An app that slowly auto harvests gains on a set of core assets when they reach ATHs, piles them into stables with solid yields, time locks for 12 months, and then starts to slowly redeploy into those assets when they have at least a 50% drawdown (You can take the anon out of the bear, but you can’t the bear out of the anon)

Country restrictions on iphone apps drive me absolutely nuts. A number of app developers in Spain limit the *registered country* of your iphone to Spain. Say you buy tickets to a concert in Spain via Ticketmaster. There is *no way* to access those tickets unless you change your country code. But changing your country code of your iphone has implications: -you *lose all of your data* in apps that you've previously purchased -you can only make a chance once a year. This is a ridiculous design and doesn't fit with nomads or the "jet set"... 😡 Seriously, who's working on event tickets via blockchain artifacts?

Never ceases to amaze me that banks will limit your password size to something ridiculous like 10 characters. It's not that hard to increase the size of the database field...

Really interesting NFT project launch mechanics lately: Chonks by @backseats - 1 day unlimited mint on Base, 0.01 ETH each (with some fun traits coming along for the ride) Cycles by @matto @neokry @sus-seaweed and Material Arts. Basically a slowly curated allow list --> contact them if you're interested (I had a nice chat on X). 0.2 ETH each, limited to 512 Flamingo Flutter by Flamingo DAO https://flutter.flamingodao.xyz/ - allowlist to receive a free mint for some of the OG Ethereum mainnet NFT collections. 1380 total. These mechanics aren't rushed with FOMO/gas wars, they're thoughtful and reward collectors, and the art is fun! They're all shaping up to be important culture for the post-election euphoria

Update on secondary market rolling 90-day bid/ask ratio: -accelerating for AI companies -still at a decade low for non-AI companies -volume of activity is increasing. But on the margin, there are more (forced?) sellers pushing down the bid/ask ratio for non-AI companies (These are venture capital backed companies that haven't yet gone public)

I wonder what the feedback loop is for BTC and ETH buying pressure vis a vis the ETFs. If prices increase in a day, people pile into the ETFs, which also increases prices. Same for outflows. But maybe it doesn't matter so much with OTC market makers?

Thoughts on the current cycle*, a 🧵: 1/5 It's speeding up Attention/liquidity/rotation is moving way faster than previous cycles. It's because we ("smart retail" + funds + tradfi shops) are spread out more. This is a function of: -Communications dispersion: Farcaster, CT, Discord/Telegram, Tiktok, Youtube, podcasts, etc -Chain dispersion: ETH/EVM orbit (including L2s), Solana, Bitcoin L2s, and apparently other places like XRP/Cardano (?!) The meta shifts quickly, and the ball of hot money is moving fast. It's like a Tasmanian Devil spinning around from one city to another, very quickly. *starting with BTC exchange arbitrage in 2013, this is my fourth cycle. I've spent a lot of time thinking about previous mistakes, and I've made a lot of them.

A different take on the memecoin meta. Mixing NFTs and memecoins...
