Strike succeeded without an airdrop dYdX could've beaten Hyperliquid but they messed up business execution Hyperliquid used airdrop for marketing. It wasn't the cause of their success. They could've succeeded with an alternative marketing strategy Ultimately, product matters
In this market, I think airdrops are the only truly effective way to bootstrap a new product. Just look at Hyperliquid. Its perp DEX UI/UX isn’t particularly special, and the network itself is highly centralized with only around 20 validators. Yet through massive airdrops that

What worries me the most about AI is people trusting without verifying. AI is a very powerful tool when you use it appropriately. Trusting the first output from AI is like trusting the first Google result. Just because it's first doesn't mean it's correct
Me: "ChatGPT, are these berries poisonous?" ChatGPT: "No, these are 100% edible. Excellent for gut health." Me: "Awesome" # eats berries .... 60 minutes later Me: "ChatGPT, I'm in the emergency ward, those berries were poisonous." ChatGPT: "You're right. They are incredibly

So, @strikecardano means Cardano won?
a chain has won when an app built on it makes more revenue than the chain itself

Glad to see Garden will be back in action It was a very heavy loss. I hope they'll continue to succeed and recover the lost TVL
we're back in action we've completed a full review of last week's incident — here's what we found: • the compromise occurred at the web2 infrastructure level of a solver, not within garden's contracts or core architecture • no user funds or protocol contracts were

Some crypto narratives turned out wrong: Polkadot, Cosmos, L2s The market has moved towards specialized L1s There may be some utility for L2s still, but with how easy it is to spin up new L1s and integrate them into existing systems, I expect L1s will remain more popular
so cosmos just died pretty much?

Monero "died" a couple months ago, and yet it has outperformed most other crypto this year

Meanwhile @_mynth_ will continue to bring USDT interoperability to Cardano via Stable chain (if Project Catalyst lets go of their bureaucracy 😵💫)

USDC is unlikely to come natively to Cardano because of the freezing requirement. If USDC comes, it'll be through something like IBC rather than CCTP Similarly, Cardano is unlikely to get native USDT. If LayerZero is integrated with Cardano, USDT0 could come
Does anybody know of a blockchain that has native USDC or USDC whereby the ledger of who owns what is not controlled by a smart contract and there are no freezing or blacklisting capabilities?

MongoDB is my favorite database
I have some news to share. After 11 incredible years, I’ve decided to retire as CEO of MongoDB. This was not an easy decision, but it’s the right time for a thoughtful transition.

Even more ridiculous is claiming "Europeans" use only one app. There's a lot of diversity across Europe. I've seen pretty even split between WhatsApp/Viber/Telegram Seems more like a case of someone visiting a single country in Europe and conflating all of Europe is the same

Every few months on this app there's a debate about messaging apps. Each culture has their own preferences. Some like iMessage/Viber/WhatsApp/Telegram/LINE etc. Then there are individual preferences, e.g. Signal Lots of world diversity yet people cannot fathom preferences
why the FUCK do europeans only use WHATSAPP do you all realize your phone has a BUILT in messaging app? what is the point of downloading another third party app? and then when you ask them to use imessage it’s always “no I only have whatsapp” WHAT KIND OF PSYOP IS THIS?

Liquidity isn't the solution, it's the scapegoat Fundamentally USDA and USDM lack mechanisms to maintain peg. It's something we can solve, but it's expensive to do so
This is why we need more liquidity and volume on Cardano. Losing $1000 on this swap on MinSwap And $500 on a DEX aggregator 🙃

Audits are a poor security practice. There are many cases of audited protocols being hacked. Audited != secure

Definitely there's a noticeable increase of error rates in my typing. Even though I proof read my posts I still end up discovering typos later on

Modern medicine is amazing but ends up becoming like a cocktail. One of the medicines I'm on has side effects. So I take another medicine to counteract. That medicine itself has another side effect so I take another. My other medicine has more side effects that I have to tolerate

On Cardano you can hold any stablecoin without fear of it being frozen. However, USDA and USDM and become non-redeemable. iUSD and DJED are always redeemable
You can’t self-custody a stablecoin ON SOLANA On ETH You can hold DAI without fear of it being frozen

2025 was an infection point for Mynth. We've grown a lot with users and adoption. The one missing piece is now marketing. We're closing in on a very important hire by the end of the year.
I think 2025 is going to be the inflection point for Mynth. I can feel it. So much stuff is finally coming together, there's very little other option than for the protocol to take off. I'm not talking about the IDO, which could honestly go in any direction, who knows. I'm
