A couple of weeks ago, I got to see the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in Concert.

Stunning.

Being in the crowd was also magical because everybody would clap, cheer, and laugh at all the right moments 🥹 10/10

Was not expecting the Lord Denethor x Severance crossover

Day 102 of asking /matcha to support limit orders on /base 

** Guess the movie **

For ages, limit orders on Base have been a lost myth. 

But against all odds, a sacred roadmap lands in the hands of an unlikely hero: YES2Crypto Baggins, a determined trader. When a wizard-like dev reveals its power to break market-order tyranny, YES2Crypto embarks on a quest to meme it into existence.

The journey is treacherous. 

With a fellowship of memers, based devs, and limit-order believers, YES2Crypto must cross mountains of delays, rivers of excuses, and the forests of “we’re working on it."  All while being hunted by all-seeing matcha.xyz, clinging to its market-order sorcery. 

The roadmap is long, the mission is hard, but YES2Crypto will not simply walk into market orders (aka "morders")

"I would rather share one limit order with you than face all the rug pullers of this world alone"

Books

The Two Towers

JRRT packs two separate books into one volume. 

The first is the story of everyone other than Frodo, Sam, and Gollum. Merry and Pippin get captured by orcs, escape, meet the ents, and go with them to Isengard to fight Saruman. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli follow hot on their heels, meeting the riders of Rohan and a resurrected Gandalf on the way. And then the good guys all smash up the bad guys at Helm’s Deep. Peak LOTR. 

The second book is the story of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum advancing the ring roughly from Moria to Mordor. That’s the slowest, weakest section of the entire series. I think the whole series, but this book in particular, would benefit from heavy abridging. 

I’m not going to try to sell anyone on reading this. You probably already know if you should. It’s fantasy canon, outside the world of recommendation and rating. 

I will say that my boys still fight imaginary orcs many months after finishing these, so they’re definitely still relevant.

Well, that wraps up SEASON ONE of meme-shaming @matchaxyz to add Limit Orders on BASE.

SEASON TWO BEGINS NOW!

Day 101 of asking /matcha to support limit orders on /base 

** Guess the movie **

After winning a whitelist spot in a high-stakes crypto game, YES2Crypto stumbles upon matcha.xyz, a sleek, well-funded DEX aggregator engaged to outdated trading mechanics. 

Feeling trapped without limit orders on Base, YES2Crypto considers giving up, until a moment of inspiration rekindles the fight. Their bond grows, leading to an iconic moment where YES2Crypto sketches a perfect and steamy limit order UI, but the dream is shattered when matcha.xyz’s jealous dev team locks YES2Crypto out of the roadmap, promising 

When the platform faces an iceberg of feature requests, YES2Crypto defies the old ways, battling through gas spikes, congestion, and brutal slippage on market orders to keep the dream afloat - while matcha clings to its sinking excuses.

All because of some stupid diamond hands.

So today while degening on Virtuals, I came across a Sauron agent. Being the nerd I am, I aped. But I thought to myself, man it would be cool if there was a Gandalf one too.

2 hours later, low and behold. So, I aped this too. 

No clue who the devs are. Don’t care. I see LOTR. I ape!
