Degen

when prices are down, it's a good time to step back and decide which projects you really believe in

(there are a lot of good ones on Farcaster)

super ツ

@woj.eth I got logged out of supercast, and now the Privy login is only showing an email option rather than the farcaster sign-in option. Any tips to get that option to show?

We’re close to 500 wallets on @solana!

If you haven’t bridged yet, now’s the time—it helps us get $DEGEN verified on Jupiter Exchange.

Bridge here: https://stargate.finance/bridge?srcChain=base&srcToken=0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed&dstChain=solana&dstToken=A7n89LqW67HJKzJkdWZa2xojuK4N5GBKHz3dfjATCZPz

How can we bridge WETH / ETH from Base to Solana via Stargate? USDC is also not available, and I'm not seeing a wrapped SOL available either.

coinbase

truly surprised coinbase is listing trump before real token-based products on its own chain like anon and veil

Seriously though, this is really disrespectful to all the devs who have been building on Base since its inception.

Ethereum

The backlash against @ethereumfndn leadership and Aya is a mix of:
- valid concerns, which the foundation is already addressing
- misinformation
- toxic behaviour by a small but loud part of the ecosystem

As @vitalik.eth said, "EF should not "midcurve", it should confidently represent the aspects of Ethereum that it can be effective at representing, and deliberately create and nurture open space for other orgs to represent the other aspects of Ethereum"

Ethereum is the world computer. We can each focus on specific aspects, like "internet of money" or memecoins, but must remember it's part of something bigger.

The foundation should uphold these values to stay inclusive and impactful for those who care about Ethereum's broader mission—not just financial gains. My only critique is that EF should better communicate these values to ensure the collective vision prevails over individual narratives. https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1881680518934384676 https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1881686392717132020

This whole EF situation and the Ethereum rage quits are a complete bottom signal.

How does veo 2 pull off three nervous women holding knives on the back of a giant caterpillar running through a deserted city looking determined as a tank rolls towards them?

Geopolitics

"Oh my god Churchill had such crude words for Hitler. That was so unproductive"

.@lexfridman is big mad at Zelensky after he insulted Putin that pushed Putin to cancel on Lex’s podcast. No Putin for tawarish Lex!https://t.co/OLcdW1A10T

politics

"the rate at which egg prices were going up was slowing down"

In the fall of 1972, President Nixon announced that "the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing". Probably the first time a sitting president used the 3rd derivative to increase the chances of reelection. https://t.co/0Cad8Bf68o

A strong potential catalyst for a near-term surge in Anon is if Vitalik buys 2M $ANON and experiences the Promote role as well. Perhaps he’s only tried anoncast so far, but anonworld is on a whole different level. He should definitely give it a try.

social media identity defined per-post based on digital asset ownership is so strange but fits the current meta so well it has the potential to dominate the next tech narrative

What if this is the most bullish timeline for the Ethereum ecosystem - a perfect setup to make DeFi announcements next week

I'm serious — Trump is best at distraction

trump launching two solana shitcoins creating a double liquidity black hole and initiating trench warfare while he quietly buys 60m eth is beautiful

really hilarious how ETH is just doing its regular thing through all this

I haven't felt the current CT sentiment since Nov '22 (FTX). But this is a totally different situation. This weekend did a lot of broader reputational damage to crypto, but the market bounce back will come quickly. The same players are still here, and the macro expectations haven't changed.

If anything this will solidify the reputations of OG crypto.

I will take back everything I said if he announces this and follows through.

trump has 2 options. 1) announce his insider allo to be used for some sort of fiscal policy: buy greenland, aid LA, upgrade energy grid, wtv. OR 2) do nothing and keep enriching himself.

in case 1), the world will talk about crypto as the greatest capital formation mechanism…

Imagine he launches a $tiktok coin to “raise funds” for the US to buy TikTok

If he did this and followed through on it, I'll be the first to admit that he legitimately conquered an entire generation and outplayed us all.

crypto

Okay but have we considered Trump might get super salty when he watches the value of his token plummet when big traders dump their holdings just before his vesting unlocks and decides the industry needs to die?

This is the reality: someone has to lose. So either masses of new retail lose and hate crypto or the most powerful man in the world who is dead set on accumulating more power loses what he has on paper and hates crypto. 

Where does crypto win in this?
