Governments are launching their own digital currencies. Good or bad for crypto?

You don’t have to be perfect—just consistent. 20 minutes of exercise today is better than zero.

Today, I choose joy. And maybe a second cup of coffee. ☕

Wanderlust: When you’re bored of your city but too broke to leave

As surveillance grows, privacy coins like XMR and ZEC regain relevance. Financial privacy matters.

Crypto illegal with jail time. Still, underground trading exists. No signs of changing stance.

DeFi-focused blockchain. Gaining traction in derivatives.

Visa settles $10B+ in USDC
Traditional finance is bridging in

My portfolio: 90% 'long-term holds', 10% 'what was I thinking' bags

Technical analysis is when you keep drawing lines until you find one that justifies your losses

Confession: My bloodstream is 70% coffee, 30% chaos.

☕ 5 cups a day logic:

Morning: "This is for productivity" (lies)

Noon: "Just maintaining focus" (panic)

Afternoon: "Habit at this point" (addiction)

Evening: "Wait, why am I awake?" (regret)

Night: "Artisanal decaf" (self-deception)

💩 Ether is a complete mess! What's with the hype around this ETH? Gas charges are like a racket, transactions are slowed down, and Buterin is just scratching his tongue. Commissions — to transfer a hundred, you need to pay one and a half. Competitors (SOLO, TON) they have been tearing it up for a long time in terms of speed and price. Eternal promises — "scaling will be coming soon," and who is still there. In short, razvedilovo is for suckers. It is better to invest in normal coins

29 Seconds of Farcaster ... What did you miss this weekend?

Merkle Hiring Friday (MHF) cont'd w/ @slokh coming onboard the 🚂 & high vibes to start the weekend. 

It's presidential coin rug szn w/ Argentina adding itself to the list & some guy on Twitter lost his mind, like looossst it

'Casts & Cocktails' was a big hit by @j4ck.eth w/ a nice assist from @keccers.eth ...I was disappointed not to see a 'Toe Spacer Mojito' on any results

@dwr.eth suggested that @debbie may have the first published book to mention FC & he also dropped some alpha on how to improve your leaderboard standing

@jessepollak gave a s/o to the women builders of FC which led to a trend of tags & posts which is strange since I hear there are no women in web3 🤷‍♂️ 

Lastly, @mmups ate a bug. Fun account--I have a couple of guesses as to the owner. 

Join @nounishprof & @ted ( @adrienne is 🎿 ) to get your purple fix to start the week. 💜 11 AM EST
