No I won't ever use it. I'm just curious because I'll just block you now like every other base app using simp. I can't in good faith support a company that sponsors Trump events. 🤷‍♂️

Boycotting can be a powerful tool, but blocking anyone who uses TBA with the stated reason of Coinbase sponsoring a Trump event is silly and undoubtedly leaves you with egg on your face

$ETH for the mind, $ETC for the machine, is there anyone who’s into both eth and etc?

I was today years old when I remembered ETC is still a thing that exists

Memes

The average American is pretty negative about technology. 

Only 17% of adults think AI will have a positive impact over the next 20 years!

If you’re 35 and don’t say OOH BIG STRETCH every time you see a cat stretch I would re-evaluate your life *very* seriously

Farcaster

Is there a way to manually hide tokens with small balances (e.g. under $1) in the Farcaster Wallet?

RIP to the legend, Fauja Singh. 

I had the pleasure of meeting him back in 2011. He was a huge inspiration to Sikhs around the world.

Firmly believe that the only way to justify living in NYC is to take full advantage of the city

If you live here, you should be going to standup shows and jazz clubs. Find new people every week to grab dinner with - almost anyone you could hope to meet passes through NYC at some point during the year. There are spontaneous pop ups in the parks all the time; go to them when you're free. There are endless coffee shops and restaurants to try. Countless bookstores, art galleries, and museums to explore. Took me about a year and a half to realize all of this and embracing it dramatically improved how much I enjoy the city

good take from Alana

if you’re reading this and love comedy shows, chances are you’re still underestimating the sheer number of shows + comic quality inelasticity in NYC

a plus: laughing is good for you

Ethereum

It's finally happening.

TradFi analysts realizing the right way to value ETH is as the store of value asset of an emerging economy.

Brand new ETH report from Fidelity.

It's everything we've been saying for years.

I am euphoric in this moment.

ETH = world reserve asset

“world reserve asset” has a nice ring to it

Economics

Every generation’s income (except for the Silent Generation) has risen over the first 20-ish years of their working life. 

And Zoomers are outpacing Millennials, Xers, and Boomers!
