I am looking for an API that, given wallet addresses will return farcaster profile details. Is that @neynar ? Anything else?

I believe there will be thousands of chains. I also believe most of these chains will want to be "unique" in some way(s). This creates an interesting challenge for the stacks (OP, Orbit, Zksync) where they need to be extremely modular.

Right now we're seeing both "blockchains, not bitcoin" (all the stablecoin activity) and "bitcoin, not blockchains" (all the dollar conversations). As we've known for a while, we need both of these things to be working *together*.

hard truths: 1. crypto isn’t growing, in fact it’s more cringe than ever because of the new admin embracing it / $trump 2. it’s not realistic to generate a full-time sustainable income on farcaster, $degen and $higher were anomaly wealth events 3. majority of the world doesn’t think in terms of markets 24/7

Controversial: trump's impact on crypto will backfire. He may be "deregulating" but he's also tarnishing the "crypto" brand even more and, in the end, new regulation will be written/approved by people who *hate* crypto even more.

More activity, maybe .. From fewer people. We're far from the days where random folks wanted to buy the Constitution...

I'm not in it to get rich, I'm in it because I genuinely believe it can increase freedom, agency and make the world a better place. Fewer and fewer people believe that.

Well, I *am* seeing fewer normies be even curious about it. We're at prices higher than 3 years ago, but the only stories you hear about are the grifts, the kids putting themselves on fire, the scams and the years in prison for SBF, the Celsius guys ... Etc.

Sure, but if nobody wants to use the tech with a 10ft pole after that, what do we do? Force it on them?

Well, maybe _they_ leak, but again, at 70 years I don't know how my prostate is going to behave.

If you lock 70 year old in a room without phones, it does not leak :D

I am also worried about a world where crypto is just the rails used by tradfi and the rest of us are basically stuck using the exact same product than we have today: paypal, western union, chase and visa.

People love to hate on Ethereum but the fact that Pectra went live without delays and so smoothly is incredible.
