From the point of view of youth, life has an endless future; from the point of view of old age, a very short past – Arthur Schopenhauer

If you want to make the whole world happy, go home and love your family.

In love, pauses are especially delightful. It's as if tenderness is accumulating at these moments, which then breaks out in sweet outpourings. Victor Hugo

Markets gud, price mechanisms gud. Congestion pricing in NYC continues to be winning, just as it has been winning for years in Stockholm, Singapore and elsewhere.

When demand > supply, there is always an auction. Either you pay with money, or you pay by waiting in line, with often grievous costs to mental health ( https://nytimes.com/2019/01/21/upshot/stuck-and-stressed-the-health-costs-of-traffic.html ) and to no one's benefit.

Blockchain transaction fees are similar: in the dark ages we used to wait some random number of 5-60 minutes for a transaction to get included into a block, and made excuses about how this is a virtuous act of expressing "low time preference".

Today, transactions reliably get included in 1-2 slots, and the more efficient fee market design in https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559 is a major reason why. Tomorrow, transactions will be included even faster.

@fana77 I need a pillow for women's tears, flowers for women's parties, and I need a girlfriend as cool as you!

You don't need more days in your life. You need more life in your days.😇

The fact that there is nothing else but the spiritual world takes away our hope and gives us confidence.

We were born to live together. Our society is a vault of stones that would collapse if one did not support the other.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE get ahead by using the time that others are wasting. Henry Ford

In general, it's great when people find the strength to apologize. It's great, but very few people know how to do it. And not everyone is able to sincerely thank, find words for compliments, admit that they are wrong or honestly say that they do not know the answer to this or that question.

Judging by the number of smart contracts launched, there are at least ten times more developers on the Base network (in blue) from the Coinbase crypto exchange than in other Ethereum-based L2 chains. It looks like a success.

Here's a comparison.

When you start living for yourself, doing what you like, everything else in the world pulls up to match. It's very simple: if the soul and mind are in harmony, the rest is adjusted automatically.

In 20 years, you'll be more disappointed with the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So get away from the quiet marina. Feel the tailwind in your sail. Move forward, act, open up!

I've had a lot of good moments in my life that I completely forgot about.
