This was, uh, not the intersection of my worlds I was expecting to see today. Ezra talking Justin Sun…I guess we made it?

Started economist project and already learned some crazy stuff:

- In 1997, we were one vote away from passing a balanced budget CONSTITUTIONAL amendment. Some were opposed because deficit spending could be needed during recession/war

- Already had a Y2K article; a bank was planning to spend about 1% of revenue to fix/solidify their systems

Think I am going to try and read every issue of the economist in their archive - 25 years worth

Introducing $PROCOIN, the community-led governance token for Farcaster Pro users.

All 10k NFT holders are eligible for an airdrop.

But there’s a twist.

**The token will be untransferable until 500 Pro users claim.**

In order to get a mandate as a community token, we need broad support.

To claim, quotecast this post with the text “Ratifying @procoin governance”

All 10k NFT holders are eligible, but the first 500 claimers will receive ~5x the allocation.

Yeah for sure - it’s so much more in the mainstream than it was even 1 or two years ago I feel. 

Thanks for sharing the pod, looks super interesting and never heard of marketplace before but sounds right up my alley!

Hope Cubes follows in Alexis Ohanion’s footsteps and invests in women’s leagues. Think they will both outperform from an roi standpoint and benefit more from marked assets

Interesting they let him off on wire fraud (I think right call) but CSAM stuff is horrific. Had no idea about that aspect of the case

The “not useful unless you’re a criminal” is the best filter for knowing they’re bullshit artists. I prefer to read economists smarter than Hamas…

politics

Was eating lunch in SF and Rahm walked by - friend yelled “Hey - that’s Rahm Emanuel” and he instinctively (I guess) flipped us off. Guess that says a lot about his typical IRL interaction

Farcaster pro is pretty…pretty…pretty good

There’s a huge employee surplus with AI. C-suite wants to cut roles but reality is directors and managers measure themselves by reports. ICs better off because job takes 10% of effort. AI tools pitched as cost savings fail the ROI test because of this equilibrium. Need to sell work, not software

Would love an invite. Came here when I finished the power broker and was so sad I couldn’t cast

What are your thoughts on the parallel execution for benchmarks? Makes it hard to compare to prior models imo

Interesting data point from ramp… $750M per point of market share ain’t bad
