Polymarket probably going to acquire something at the consumer layer soon. A terminal, mobile app, etc. My bet would be Share.

My youngest daughter has lunch detention tomorrow for being involved in coordinating an April Fools' prank at school. She asked to go to the bathroom and then 15 people got up simultaneously to go with her. I'm so proud.

Some notes: • AI and crypto are both pushing ownership closer to the individual and increase efficiency in the world for how both data and capital move. • We’re still very early. I think real GDP will 25x over next 25 years. Nominal GDP (quality of life) may 50-100x. • Personalized software will impact institutions m...
I'm being interviewed in front of a crowd of capital allocators tomorrow on AI, crypto, regulation, and the state of innovation. Think conservative financial types who may or may not own BTC/ETH, much less know what a "memecoin" or "NFT" is. What's one bullish thing that you would want to communicate to them?

Part of the frustration (opportunity?) within the Farcaster community is seeing all of the right pieces in disparate places. This is part of the reason decentralization is so hard as a from-first principle. There are great clients/apps, great protocol changes, great agentic tools, great dev ecosystems. Just not co...

This season is proving just how good Piastri and Norris are as drivers. Mercedes has a clearly dominant car and have to fight to win every race. Last year, McLaren had the dominant car and Lando/Oscar easily swept. That said, I’m glad it’s Kimi. Also nice to see Lewis competitive again.

Agreed. I look at Claude as a $200/month employee. If the value isn’t there, fire it. But there’s also some responsibility on me to make sure it’s setup to succeed.
AI token usage feels a lot like shitcoin trading. Most people burn tokens without creating anything that generates revenue. A small minority turn that spend into actual returns. Same same but different.

They were told the land was empty. They posted anyway. They were told no one was reading. They replied anyway. They were told it was over. They were just getting started. For those who remain, and those who come after. ⛩️ 37 Ronin ⛩️

So who’s going to launch the Farcaster token as a group clanker with a 1000 quoter threshold? Seems like an obvious use case here. Needs to be someone with high reputation and reach and has a drive to help the community add value to it post-launch. Could be a Neynarian or highly respected community member.
Introducing Group Clanks Deploy tokens together. One person proposes, others quote to join as co-creators. Rewards split equally onchain. How it works: - Propose a token on Farcaster or X --- include the keyword "group clank" or "group deploy" --- tag @clanker - Define the amount of quoters required (default 3) --- i
