Neynar + TIPN = Magic -------------------- I loved this write up from @neynar about @tipn. We are seeing the protocol and the developer legos come together. Farcaster, engagement is more than vibes, it’s money. Likes and comments become transactions, creators get paid, and suddenly posting here matters in a way Twitter or Reddit can’t touch. For those of us who’ve been around since Ham tipping started, we know the potential and how this can bootstrap a community. Get excited. -----News-Link------ https://neynar.com/blog/tipn-enabling-composable-micropayments-economies -------CA-------- 0x27a4B98754bcF522939Aab6FfEaACcd843eA267B

Yes, the System's Rigged No, Bitcoin Isn't a Retirement Plan -------------------- A fellow elder Millennial sent me this article and asked if they should buy Bitcoin. I said absolutely…just don’t invest your life savings into it. The piece argues millennials are being robbed of time and wealth by inflation and broken systems (hard agree), but framing Bitcoin as the only way out is a stretch. Real investing takes more than one asset. Wealth is built through diversification: stocks, index funds, and retirement accounts…not just crypto. Bitcoin can be part of the puzzle, but a long-term plan is the real key. With platforms like Robinhood, there’s no excuse not to hold traditional assets and crypto. How are you advising your crypto-curious friends? -----News-Link------ https://inbitcoinwetrust.substack.com/p/the-great-millennial-heist-how-your -------CA-------- 0x624f44971E02f3A0830115F246E80288Cb3ad40D

Why is $ZORA Running: The Memo You May Have Missed -------------------- On Monday, Social Graph Ventures, a Web3 focused fund, published their latest thought piece and some insight into why they invested in Zora. Most people missed this (I've linked the article here). Their portfolio is impressive, backs a lot of Farcaster native people and projects, so I subscribe to their newsletters via @paragraph to read their thoughts and you should too. Since their post $ZORA jumped over 40% and many Farcasters are now enabling their creator coins. With The Base App also leaning into Zora to support cointent posts, you can't ignore what the team is building and it's worth your time to read about it and take a second look if you've been sitting on the sidelines. -----News-Link------ https://paragraph.com/@socialgraphventures/zora-the-thesis -------CA-------- 0x87C03C2A2F04Bc016CdFC6945Fffba3d1538e40b

Republic launching Space X Mirror Token on Solana -------------------- Republic, a leading alternative investment platform, Is launching mirror tokens of private US companies starting with Space X. A $50 minimum is required and it is targeted at US investors. The “Mirror Tokens” will be on the Solana blockchain and be tradable post launch. The documents imply you will share in any upside/appreciation of the private stock if it IPOs. There is a 1 year lock up on the tokens. I’m intrigued as this seems like an easy way for non accredited investors to get exposure to private US companies. The waitlist is open and has over 3,000 pledges so far. Interesting note From their FAQ: If I invest, am I now an owner of SpaceX? No. If you invest, you’re buying a debt instrument (a “Note”) offered by RepublicX - you have no right whatsoever to equity in SpaceX by v -----News-Link------ https://republic.com/r-spacex -------CA-------- 0xF4fCDFDFeD9a1664B2e40Dc5BDA017e41723997a
