Let’s not forget drink and bants happening tomorrow!

Founders

In my experience, there are very few journalists that are open-minded to crypto. 

They assume crypto = scam.

Need more people like @laurashin and @mazmhussain who can have a fair / critical / balanced view.

If you know open-minded journalists, happy to chat with them.

Just one more reason NOT to call your app a “crypto app”.

It’s just an app.  With super powers.

Parenting

I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s because the kids are annoying the shit out of me.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Manga Anime 🍥

Last arc didn’t feel as tight as previous ones, but Mission: Yozakura was a great read overall.

Highly recommend

No. This is not how this game works.

The person deciding the new EF leadership team is me. One of the goals of the ongoing reform is to give the EF a "proper board", but until that happens it's me.

If you "keep the pressure on", then you are creating an environment that is…

How can you not like Mos Def + Massive Attack?

Worth remembering that your personal health isn’t a destination, it’s also the choices we make every day.

Sometimes I do things future links wouldn’t like, but it’s nice to know I can change it if I choose.

Homie’s Place for News

I’m sure I’ve said this many times before but my time in the DAO formally known as bDAO was special to me.  It was because of /cryptosapiens that I wandered here to Warpcast,  it was because of folks like @links and @trewkat.eth that I learned about communication between people from different parts of the world, and folks like @vibrantty that I can see the different types of hard work, and work ethic,

At that same token,  very happy to see things move forward as /blackflag .  I’m not nearly as active as I used to be,  Im not sure where my place would be to be active (which is a good thing, being an observer right now)

but it’s fun to look in there from time to time,  watch the building blocks grow, and see what happens next. I think being able to observe is a blessing I that I don’t always realize.  

Not sure why this sparked my mind, but you know me.

Thanks for the kind note @infinitehomie !

There's a whole bunch of us active here @tim @trent @nixo @randomishwalk @bugbird @js. Wish it was more. I'm actually doing something soon I hope will boost numbers

But also keep in mind most people that work at the EF are just nerds working on improving the protocol so you cool kids can have your fun. Our version of fun doesn't interest them, but you can thank them for 👇

Sick list of follows @chaskin.eth !

I made a starter pack but unfortunately the creator has to be part of the list so it's a bit off...you might consider making an "official" list yourself:

How it feels hitting the exact right range for your liquidity position

One of the best use cases for crypto is to give the business sector a foundation to build on that’s harder for the state to capture. Even with control of fiat exchanges as choke points, crypto gives entrepreneurs with sufficient courage a way to build planetary businesses (not necessarily big — minimum scale is a multisig corporate wallet without single-jurisdiction control) that can gradually become independent of traditional territorial politics. This is necessarily a globalist, cosmopolitan posture because even the most powerful superpower derives its political and military power from a territorial base plus projection capabilities. Even when there are correlated global waves, when many states are swinging right or left in concert, state capture of commerce can be resisted. This is because states have a fundamentally vertical grain, serving a territorially identified population, while commerce has a horizontal grain, serving participants of evolving planetary value webs.

@vgr incidentally describes what I believe a true “network state” could look like.

A self-sovereign group/network based on ideas, not geography.

This is what we talked about yesterday @hirokennelly

Warpcast

Ironically Warpcast rewards made me rethink my social media usage so I am using the app less.

On the upside I think I’m using it in a healthier way 💜

IndyPen CryptoMedia is back! We kick off the new year with a reflection from @hirokennelly on the value of independent crypto reporting in this age of corporate media domination.
