1/ @giu and I are excited to officially launch Pinetree! 🌲 We're building the best video client for casters, with crypto rails baked in. Our conviction is that ads-based video platforms are a local maxima and that we have an opportunity to unlock the global maxima — a video content network powered by a p2p economy.

Storytime today is about the time I smoked crack just to prove a point. When I was 12 my friends started drinking. Alcoholism runs in my family a bit and even as a kid I really didn't want to go down that road. I don't really remember too much peer pressure but when I was 14 or 15 I found straight edge punk and suddenly not drinking or doing drugs was part of my identity.

I love the idea of being bored and inactive because grace lives in what emerges from silence

Eurc not a good unit of account, non-US residents still prefer pricing things in $ Also VPNs are cool and totally unrelated to this discussion

I really liked Nic’s analogy: https://x.com/nic__carter/status/1930626952466927654?s=46 Cryptodollars let everyone leapfrog Eurodollar infra (traditionally gatekept) and get it cheaper, faster and more composable The ticker is $USDC precisely because you don’t need to be in the USA :)

Did you have to bind the ⌘L hot key manually? Seems like they removed it in the latest version 😕

Strong agree. Useful for creating a quick hacky thing But when you need to architect something, generally useless and almost always overly-eager, glazing the codebase with nonsense My main gripe is that the "Ask" mode is the most useful (since it's like SparkNotes for Stack Overflow), but they keep pushing "Agent"

I'm not saying you're wrong to have made these decisions, just that channel apathy from owners is the logical outcome There was no good solve to the spam / bot issue without requiring heavy moderation. But the pivot from the "tags" era of channels where anyone could cast to the "gated community" era of channels was rough, and required too much management via Cura or whatever else You also transferred /product to me and I had a standing calendar invite through Q1 of this year where I spent ~20-30 mins every Friday going thru applications and inviting people. It just became untenable when there was no benefit to posting in channels -- the juice isn't worth the squeeze

Adding another data point here, not to pile on, but for additional context: People really loved /brypto (https://farcaster.xyz/six/0xcfee39e6) and I was spending a decent amount of time posting in it, weeding bad posts, adding other mods / growing the community But after reading your priorities update about ~2 months ago (https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x81d19454), I decided not to spend more time on it because you flagged that it wasn't contributing to top-line growth, and as a result Merkle wouldn't be adding new features / were effectively putting it into maintenance mode

Polymarket did not entertain fleeting metas and stayed focused on the end state — real user adoption The ticker is (and has been) $USDC
