New interview tomorrow. I didn't disclose who it was with, but I feel like my most engaged readers are on Farcaster, so if I get a couple of asks, I might drop it here early because I love yinz. https://x.com/depressivehacks/status/2070307725737619561

2,000+ words have been typed in my Substack drafts about modern dating. The goal for the weekend is to finish the article, edit it, and schedule it for release next week. This article is a culmination of both my own experience in modern dating, as well as reading the many stories of others both on Threads and elsewhere. Typically, this is not an area I write about, but I just had so many things to discuss that I figured it would be best to get them out. Special thanks to the intrigue on this topic here on Farcaster, which inspired me to go ahead with this concept piece. Keep an eye out ๐Ÿ‘€

Metaphorical pfp

@hyp

Thoreau was assigned, I think by RW Emerson, to write on Eastern religion prior to going to Walden Pond. He influenced by zhuong zhe, the second most famous Daoist sage (next to Lao Tse). We don't go out in nature so much as nature comes into us. Our spatial perception, when nature comes in, becomes something different, possiblly more creative, explores new opportunities. There is something called the "Boulder effect" where entrepreneurs go on hikes instead of office meetings. Being in nature doesn't mean the mind isn't working, in fact, perhaps quite the opposite, it is exploring new possibilities.

Finished reading "Easy Money." Before you jump in the comments asking what's wrong with me (a lot), let me explain. I think it's important to listen to and learn from people who disagree with you. I was surprised at how many things resonated with me from the book. I obviously disagree that crypto has no real use cases outside of crime. I also think that we as an industry need to take a serious look in the mirror if we are going to scale to the level we expect to. I'm debating if I want to write a whole summary of my thoughts on the book. It was far more interesting than I expected, and a hell of a blast from the past in crypto lore.

Happy to announce the migration of my Never-Ending Interview Series to the DepressiveHacks Substack! Today is the release of the first Substack interview. I had the opportunity to speak with Dustin Gouker, one of the leading reporters on how the world of prediction markets continues to evolve. I don't believe that he is on Farcaster, but I greatly appreciated his time and how thoroughly he responded to my questions. Give the interview a browse! I will put the link in the comments.

Tl;dr I am redirecting my efforts to build my own portfolio through distribution channels that I own instead of continuously depending on third party publishers who are difficult to get into as a freelancer or could be unsuccessful and take down their site, losing access to my portfolio of past work in the process. Substack will now be the home for my Never Ending Interview Series, as well as the rest of my professional writing. My blog will continue to be home to my personal ramblings and mental health discussions. Still unsure where this leaves my Medium, but I can figure that out as we go. https://x.com/depressivehacks/status/2050634763988591013

Did a new intro to DepressiveHacks for hitting 6k followers on the former bird app, but am crossposting here. If you or someone you know needs help with comms, articles, announcements, socials, strategy, or various other business-related things, but wants to talk to someone who understands emerging technologies, I am always up for referrals. In fact, most work I get comes from referrals (thank you). https://x.com/i/status/2048839057212383556

One thing I really enjoy about writing is that it captures me at a particular point in time. Taurus season has always been tough for me (as a Taurus) because depression means complicated feelings about getting older and celebrating being alive. I wrote a whole Medium piece about this last year. Depression makes things difficult, but I am trying to be less of a curmudgeon in my old age, so I've resisted yelling at people for acknowledging that I'm alive in 2026. Still not sharing the exact date because OPSEC, but just wanted to express gratitude for feeling less shitty this year and having made new friends who help meet me where I'm at. Anyways, sharing this only on Farcaster because I love you guys. https://medium.com/@depressivehacks/another-year-1832ecaf2af1

I think I would be awfully good at this and did send a couple of messages about it, but posting here as well: https://x.com/i/status/2046268241832501695
