it was a mistake just trying to pass 'crypto legislation' ultimately people are profoundly frustrated with the securities laws & trying to just bypass them through crypto we should reform securities laws across the board and crypto legislation can't be truly satisfying without

Any dying eco that slaps fake dual staking onto its architecture just helps whales, who hedge their bets and dump yield while retail suffers. It adds zero real liquidity to the ecosystem, just another excuse for "institutional adoption". Build something worth using or leave..

How do you borrow money without a bank, credit check, or even showing your ID? That's exactly what happens in DeFi lending. Math replaces trust. Code replaces bankers. Welcome to the 101 Series with Zentra Finance! Starting with the basics: LENDING & BORROWING๐ŸŽ“

Bullish on builders in ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ! This was probably one of the best dev events Iโ€™ve attended. It was a casual gathering, but filled with so many great builders and community activators in the space. Thanks for having me!

If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable. If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique. If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic. If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else. Itโ€™s drowning โ€œyouโ€ out.

Bitcoin just hit a new ATH at $126K, and everyoneโ€™s debating where it goes next โ€” $130K or back below $120K. Old prediction markets still use fixed buckets ($120Kโ€“$121K, $121Kโ€“$122Kโ€ฆ) that fragment liquidity and waste capital. Signals uses a Continuous LMSR (CLMSR) to fix that.

CT often argues that founders shouldnโ€™t take advice from VCs or that VCs shouldnโ€™t tell founders what to do, but I disagree. Galaxyโ€™s platform team has been through 90% of the challenges weโ€™ve faced. I never hesitate to ask for their help, and theyโ€™re always there. Any founder

For the record, it was @KASTcard (cc @raagulanpathy @zacglov3r), support is working on it, but itโ€™s been quite slow. And @payy_link (cc @sidgandhi_xyz), I havenโ€™t reported the issue yet, but it kept declining due to โ€œlow balanceโ€ even though I had enough funds.

Used to shill crypto cards to friends a lot. Today, both of the ones I actually used stopped working while abroad. One due to issuer issues, the other from some weird balance bug. Guess weโ€™re still early. Still a long way to go, especially on the support side.

Our paths crossed with Lighter ~3 years ago. Back then, while we were working on privacy, they had this wild idea: putting the entire matching logic inside a ZK circuit, when everyone thought zk was too inefficient. Fast forward, they built it. I never fade builders. Good luck!
