When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

Lay Your Armor Down is a beautifully violent book about believing in something even when you don’t know what it is and I loved it so much. Michael Farris Smith is always a masterclass. https://www.michaelfarrissmith.com/layyourarmordown

This account deserves so much more attention. It’s one of my favorites on Farcaster.

Twitter just threw a Hail Mary. Nikita is known for quick viral NEW apps that can be flipped. This will be a big change, I’d imagine. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-30/musk-s-x-hires-entrepreneur-nikita-bier-as-head-of-product

This *might* actually work to the chagrin of crypto people who have wanted these types of microtransactional solutions to catch on for years. The trick is you have to have massive distribution for something as novel as this to even have a chance. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/01/cloudflare-launches-a-marketplace-that-lets-websites-charge-ai-bots-for-scraping/

This is a similar approach to what @stevedylandev.eth and I are taking with Orbiter. It’s not a startup. It a slow growth business we run on the side because we want it to be sustainable

Just finished Eli Cranor’s Don’t Know Tough and my goodness I can’t recommend that book enough. The characters will stay with you for a long long time. https://bookshop.org/p/books/don-t-know-tough-eli-cranor/18520151

So you wanna be a baseball player? Figure out how not to bail out on a pitch that looks like it’s going to hit you in the face just to drop in for a strike. https://x.com/pitchingninja/status/1939148418036732131?s=46

Every social network is doomed to follow this same path. Farcaster is not immune to it. This is not a knock on Merkle at all. It’s just how these things work. See: pivot to video https://masonyarbrough.substack.com/p/engineered-addictions

I did not get this ad or I missed it, but I don’t think there’s any world in which we don’t see more of this. Crypto is already filled with this. https://daringfireball.net/2025/06/more_on_apples_trust-eroding_f1_the_movie_wallet_ad

Pretty interesting review of a book that argues the biggest serial killers of the 70s were made because of lead poisoning. https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/did-lead-poisoning-create-a-generation-of-serial-killers

For all the advanced medical treatments for sports injuries, it’s pretty interesting to see how helpless trainers and doctors are when a guy has a pinched nerve. And how long it takes for a pitcher to come back from it.

This is the only appropriate response to catching a home run by the opposing team. https://x.com/mlbelites_/status/1938608304592212394?s=46

This type of content would KILL on baseball Twitter if it were discoverable. I so wish FC had more people that cared about baseball so they could appreciate this.

I vote for Purse. If we are going to coin everything, we better put those coins in our purse.

Legalized sports gambling was a massive mistake. https://x.com/gfstarr1/status/1938061858042200387
