Stablecoins/crypto payments have demand and strong real world usage in developing nations But in developed ones with strong banking services/fintech players like Singapore and the US, there’s little need to use stables in your day to day life. Except for remittance/cross border transfers ofc. Do we ever see that changing? And what needs to happen for us to have wider adoption? Main issues now from someone living in Singapore are 1) extra fees that I’d have to pay 2) more convenient to just use local services unless I already have stables

Still think this is super underrated. Looking at existing business models, see inefficiencies or gaps that crypto can fill. Likely helps to convince skeptics of the value of crypto more than trying to build another fork of XYZ hyped protocol.

So I was planning to run ~5km 4x a week and wanted my long run to be 10km (total of 30km weekly) But that’ll make the long run 1/3 of my weekly mileage haha. Planning to increase the overall mileage over time ofc.

I’ve seen articles/videos saying how your long run should only be 20-30% of your weekly mileage. But if applied to my case, the long run is only about 2km more thn a normal run haha. Should I ignore that rule and go higher? Or just focus on increasing my overall mileage everyday.

Think it’s potentially a little off. Was an extra hot day and I was sweating so much that I had to restrap my watch halfway during the run. But my max HR is ~200, so 170 isn’t as high as it seems haha

It’s all hard work, I’m not fast by any means and you’ll definitely get there!

Farcaster’s edge over the bird app is its ability to organise chaos (large magnitudes of real time engagement). Channels segment real time engagements across a multitude of topics on a generalised social network. Giving the platform the strength of Reddit but the engagement and live-ness of Twitter.

Speculation is a side effect of ownership. Ownership allows for markets to be created leading to speculation. Embrace it as a feature and not a bug. The ability to own domains on the web created a multi-billion dollar industry of buying/selling domains. People would speculate on the value of specific domains, buy them and sit on them until the right buyer comes along - voice(dot)com sold for $30m. Domains go through boom and bust cycles and at times, wild fluctuations. The same thing happens across other asset classes - real estate, equities, etc.

yea agree, it takes 5-7 years to develop new curriculum and by then it'd have been outdated already
