Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

what happens to /warpcast and @warpcast? 
historical artifacts.

broke: microtransactions are a fad

woke: there can only be one winner

artichoke: @ampsfun on track to hit daily ATH volume the day after @noiceapp launches while my warplet is filled with @tipn txns

Someone should get Arfur Rock on here

this is not a walk and talk, or a grwm, but actually a secret third thing

longevity

the supps and i (a few extras while i catch up some on some low tests)

today’s notes: still enjoy doing it, starting to seek other breakfast ideas so i can at least switch to bi weekly meals from just ONOs.

Not sure if it was related but the first two days of this came with some insane depression spikes, idk what that’s about..

Sleep seems like a hard one to tackle but it’s probably the next big unlock.. i enjoy getting up later, working later, and i still pick my phone up throughout the night 😬

I hike daily in nice weather but gotta get my bish ass to the gym again (ik) started climbing a few months ago which is fun too

Blueprint spiraled me into reading more papers and thinking about what supplements to add/subtract - I'm currently at:

- Vegan DHA (fish allergy) ~400mg
- Flaxseed Oil ~1200mg
- Vitamin D3 - 4000iu
- Glycine - 3g AM and 3g PM
- Creatine (as creapure s/o @keccers.eth ) - 5g AM and 5g PM

Biggest life change was sleep on glycine. Absolutely incredible delta.

but also yeah - this weird VC liquidity circle jerk is not so good.

CAN BACTERIA HELP US AVOID MORE MINING? 

I have a new piece out in the newsletter examining a breakthrough from a startup backed by two of the world's biggest mining giants.  

Experts I consulted called the milestone "significant."  

But there are political troubles brewing. 

Humans have using microbes to extract metal for centuries.  

But the startup Endolith just released exciting new test results for its optimized process that its founders, whose efforts are backed by BHP and Rio Tinto, believe could revolutionize our ability to generate new metal from wasted tailings.

Despite that promise, it's been really hard to get research funding to explore the potential of microbially-assisted mining.   

That was starting to change under Biden, whose NSF funded projects other countries wouldn't.   

Now researchers looking into mining rare earths with microbes fear major cuts under Trump.

Read the story here:

Corollary:

Instead of chasing Solana metas like pump and depin, Ethereum ecosystem teams should be bold enough to pursue new, homegrown narratives that lend well to longer time horizons

@jacopo.eth has been one of the few that has been beating this drum regularly and I’m grateful for it

MAKE ETHEREUM THE CHAIN FOR (REAL) ROBOTS

if you want to do something onchain related to Farcaster Pro subscribers, what is it? thinking about design, it's useful to understand composability use cases.

For the love of god we can finally fix DAOs

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING.

I’m easily convinced a16z and tech bros went down their strength training journey to figure out how to invest in the long term. 

1% more weight is 1% but it might take you years. 

Then you PR. 

lesson in there.

“Meanwhile, many LPs themselves are increasingly strapped for cash. The recent IPO slowdown and a broader trend of startups staying private for longer means that some long-time investors have found themselves overexposed to VC bets that have yet to pay off. Adding to the problem: universities and foundations, whose portfolios often include venture capital investments, have recently been on shakier political footing.”

Take a peak into how we implemented dynamic pricing into our x402 server and used it with @neynar's x402 endpoints to build Trendbot!

Banana Cap podcast is probably the best in the industry.

ridiculous progress

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation
