Without pump.fun, the same speculative demand would produce another casino-style launchpad. Yet most attempts to give crypto a life beyond finance seem to have failed too.
why has speculation been so much easier to sustain than other uses? I don’t have a clear explanation yet, let alone a solution.

Trump is asserting his power.
Since "AI" was coined last century, it has become embedded in research, media, and popular culture. Even those who find it imperfect rarely believe they can change it. Alternatives like synthetic intelligence (also SI), machine intelligence, and computational intelligence exist, but none ...

It really does feel like the end of an era for onchain data UGC. I’ve always seen Dune as a social platform, queries, charts, and dashboards were the content, and data wizards (now working with AI), were the creators.
I understand why Dune made the change, but I’ll miss that open, anyone-can-build era.

So the real SocialFi is happening on X. Farcaster was ahead of its time in many ways, but its limited user base kept it from ever going mainstream.

The tokenized stock supercycle is coming! And $1B should no longer be seen as the ceiling for tokens on RHC.
The SEC just opened the door for tokenized US stocks to trade onchain through AMMs and liquidity pools. this is a massive tailwind for the entire RWA-native ecosystem being built around Robinhood Chain.
And wi...

Markets move with the news. I only just learned that Apple’s upcoming foldable phone may be called the iPhone Duo rather than the previously rumored iPhone Ultra. I then checked the memecoins paired with $AAPL, and sure enough, $DUO had already taken off while $ULTRA had gone to zero.
It’s an interesting case of how s...

Another case of a Farcaster project being ahead of its time, only for a later project to get the success and recognition.
Outbid.lol, an ad leaderboard where bids determine exposure, has gained massive attention, echoing what @jake tried before with @qrcoindotfun.

A Chinese movie called Niulai (牛来), reportedly made on a budget of just a few thousand dollars, has grossed more than $3.7 million.
Whether audiences came for deconstruction, catharsis, rebellion, or just fun, it’s become a social media frenzy. And just as crazy as the movie itself is its memecoin.

I’ve realized that two ecosystems I was deeply involved in, Fantom and Farcaster, both served as experimental grounds. Many ideas pioneered there didn’t fully take off, but later flourished elsewhere and went mainstream.
Fantom was once a DeFi paradise. In early 2022, Solidly pioneered the ve(3,3) model, later refined...
