There's a hat trick being pulled on MEDIAN income vs AVERAGE costs, but a brief spot check on housing/childcare (assuming highest CoL metro median) brings the total from $118k before taxes and transfers down to $94k bt&t
The welfare trap is super real tho, these two charts explain ~everything about usa politics, imo
gm. i’ve been mia because life has kept me busy (in both the best and worst of ways, Ghibli Mode). but wanted to share this fantastic article i found today.

Ambrose didn't mind the $DEGEN camera on his desk. His fairly techie friend, Zeb, had assured him everything was audited:
- the analysis and learning happened locally before getting mangled and sent to the network
- the code was open source
- the manufacturer attested the supply chain provenance of the hardware and of...
I love the free market dynamics that crypto gives us, permissionless systems where markets emerge for almost anything.
I’m not a fan of creator tokens in their current form, but I like the underlying idea. There’s something there, we just haven’t found the right model yet.
I think that in general in a “capitalism v2”

Don't fade a real one
4.5 years ago, @cadillion brought me into ETH when he hired me at Hedgehog. 1.5 years ago, I had the honor of founding Degen. For perspective, Deadmau5 took 6 years to make his first track, it takes 8 years to become a doctor, and @dwr.eth was at Coinbase like a decade ago. I’m still a newb in this world, and while I’m

Good to see this ecosystem evolving!
Creating more seamless ways to reward creators & curators is the first step to creating more sustainable decentralized media
The 90-9-1 rule requires new methods to get the 90% who are lurkers to participate & reward the remaining 10%; that means better UX that doesn't require UI
Been thinking a lot about how often we use microtxs lately, because they’re finally starting to become the norm on chains like Base.
Since the beginning of last year, we could easily tip $DEGEN with no friction but nowadays we can reward engagement directly via apps like @tipn or @ampsfun, and even trigger micro boun

RAIN 1000000 $DEGEN
Ok degens, that first raindrop was a warm up. This one has prereqs to get a like:
- follow @quipnetwork.eth, @rcarback, & me
- deposit $10+ at vault.quip.network
- screenshot the addresses & balance
- cast the screenshot
- comment here quoting that cast
gm degens,
Both Base & Degen are now post-quantum chains. You can protect your $DEGEN everywhere from quantum computer hackers who can steal your seed phrase from just your public key & a signed transaction.
Our app works with @safe & can interact with any app
