i've been really impressed with the @base app over the past few days. not only have i been using it more than farcaster because it has coining built into casts, but i've also created more coins in the last 3 days than i ever have before

ai has strengthened the herd mentality because it's easier than ever to understand consensus. independent thinking has become the rarest asset

i was hoping today that coinbase would relaunch their nft marketplace and save nfts

let's make it big @Cooopahtroopa

when you talk to younger generations they brag about not having full time jobs, not going to college, and instead prefer to make money on the internet doing what they're passionate about

it's never been a better time to experiment with tokens. many founders still haven't reset their priors

we've been using @herd_eco to prototype and build crypto apps using boost and other protocols and have been thoroughly impressed. what used to take days of work (even with other ai tools) now takes us hours. big s/o to @andrewhong5297 and @longtilwrong for what they've built!

yesterday, we launched $dau using @dopplerprotocol to align incentives between mini apps, users, and the core team and propel growth. we think that tokens are great for bootstrapping. so we're putting our money with our mouth is and dogfooding Boost to show what's possible.

not sure if i'm the only one who sees it but there's a trend in defi post hyperliquid around the gamification of risk teams are designing points systems where getting liquidated is more profitable than actually using the product to win. users are rewarded for reckless behavior because it generates activity metrics that look good on paper and outsized revenue for the team just let people buy your token folks, it's not that deep

I turn 30 today. Here’s what I’d tell my 20-year-old self: 1. External validation is a hell of a drug. The sooner you stop chasing approval and start trusting yourself (while staying humble enough to be open to feedback), the further you’ll go. 2. Find what gives you energy. Cut what doesn’t. Keep optimizing until your default state is energy abundance. It makes hard things easier. 3. Figure out what game you’re playing—freedom, impact, wealth? Once you know, decisions get simpler. You stop playing other people’s games. 4. Take more risks. Most people play it safe. Risk sharpens your intuition, and your intuition is your best compass when you don’t know what to do. 5. Marry someone where 1 + 1 = 3. The compounding benefits of doing life with the right person are greater than anything you can do alone.
