Pew study via FT shows a downward trend in young Americans' perspectives from 2010-2024. Trust in the judicial system plummeted from 50% to 30%, and government confidence halved from 40% to 20%. Shrinking faith in affordable housing, down from 45% to 25%, echoes the sting of soaring costs and stagnant wages.

Robert Malone blocked me after I pressed him on his role in developing hydrogel nanotech. I blocked him too because I think he's dodging the truth. At least he didn't delete his posts like some others.

Surprised “How the Internet Happened” isn’t more popular. Great history of the internet

In all candor I rarely post pics like this anymore because doing so publicly led me to learn what the word “findom” meant against my will

I actually like the storage model where everything is an account. Makes it pretty easy to pick up. Haven't written any programs yet though. 

The RPCs don't feel as robust. Using Helius, but calls are slower than on an EVM and have random failures from time to time so have to account for that.

Indexing is a huge pain because of the insane amount of transactions (good problem for the network). Took me about a week to build a token indexer that can even stay at head. Storage, and in turn costs, grow pretty quickly though.

Need to index myself because no good APIs available for consumer-oriented general-purpose token data. 

Before I even started the exploration, had so many EVM people telling me how much it sucks. And overall, it's honestly not bad at all. Most of the people talking negatively about Solana dev either (1) have never actually built anything there or (2) weren't around for EVM dev when it was the same age as Solana.

Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

Elon Musk embodies the usual profile of a White South African in major business—benefiting from state subsidies while portraying themselves as key investors and economic growth leaders.

It's funny seeing people cast "Just submitted my application for Farcon!" and then you tap on their profile and see that their last cast was 7 months ago 💀

Excited to share that I've joined https://fernhq.com as a Staff Software Engineer! 🎉 Fern makes it seamless to onramp, offramp, and process crypto payments.

I met @gloria-chua @pooja and the rest of the team on Farcaster, and it immediately felt like the perfect fit.

2025 mission: make SF the global center of crypto development. 

SF is packed with crypto talent, but we're fragmented. I'm changing that. 

My Founder lab at Fort Mason will be ground zero: weekly workshops, hackathons, dinners. 

Goal is to build the strongest crypto dev community anywhere. 

If you're interested in helping, DM me to get involved!
