Leveraging a social network like FC to surface crypto apps feels like a much better onboarding system. This inverts the traditional model where wallets in particular have tried to be in-house gateways to the application layer with only limited success or traction.

Subjective sense of time over the life-course. We tend to assume each decade is the same length which is why the years seem to increasingly get away from us with each passing decade. Ergo, value your time you have because it’s less than you think.

“If data can be cheaply stored, assume it will be—and once stored, assume it will be used.” — Mooers' Law (Ambient Findability), reinterpreted for the post-Snowden era.

If Bitcoin is "Digital Gold", then Ether is "Digital Diamonds". ETH is not just a store of value, but a productive asset as well. Which makes the Ethereum ⟠ logo rather appropriate.

Is there scope within ENS’s development to enable shielding of the hex address behind a .eth name — in a way that preserves privacy whilst maintaining accountability? It’s incredibly easy to dox the wallet linked to an ENS, making that name — and any connected activity — permanently public.

Ethereum is essentially a realisation of Vint Cerf and co.s’ ideal vision of the internet, augmenting their design with crucial payment and security systems to make it truly global and decentralised.

Whilst fictional, this book presents the most plausible account I’ve read of possible events leading to a war between the USA & China. The role of India as peacemaker and ultimate beneficiary seems particularly prescient: 2034: A Novel of the Next World War by Elliot Ackerman and James G. Stavridis

This "True South" flag, proposed in 2018 and supported by many the preferred flag of Antarctica, bears an uncanny resemblance to Ethereum's iconography (developed several years prior). Can anyone involved in the later process shed further light on this subject?

I feel like The Daily Gwei / Refuel needs its own emoji (to add to one's profile as demonstrated) with ⛽️ seemingly the obvious choice. Thoughts?

A thread of some of my favourite Futurist quotes: "“We have no future because our present is too volatile. We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment's scenarios. Pattern recognition.” ― William Gibson, Pattern Recognition (which I really liked, even it if lacked a resolution) 1/3

My partner bought 69k $DOGE back '17 in an attempt to de-autise me using memes. After making nearly one-hundred thousand dollars, however, he ended up becoming autistic as well. Now he's asking me to buy him $100 worth of $DEGEN on Valentines day which I've promptly done ❤️
