Polymarket should have unified visualization for multiple markets that are recurring or a location based. Imagine seeing a map of Ukraine with all these cities overlaid, or a series of months and the ongoing FED decisions as a single chart instead of separate markets.

Started reading a great book about Zeno’s paradox, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to finish it.

@laurashin I just realized it's been almost a year since I posted in X (except RT). Honestly, it usually takes me about five minutes in this platform to remind me why I left it in the first place. Note to admins: put this as more "regretted user-minutes".

Although I think they could've explored more in deeply the outcomes—the fork is mentioned in a credit title card, and @laurashin's effort to unmask Toby Hoenisch is not even mentioned—in understand they didn't want to make the movie only about the DAO and wanted to cover more

I was lucky to see an advance screening of Code is Law by @EncryptedFilm, featuring interviews with @thegrifft, @feindura and others. It's a really good snapshot of The DAO hack, the Indexed Finance and Kyberswap. https://t.co/SDc8O4gIiH

A most excellent and vital update on Virgil Griffith.👇 Moments ago, I received Virgil's final phone farewell from Federal Prison.

It all comes back around: the very first non-currency use of blockchains was Namecoin. This inspired Vitalik to make a single blockchain to cater to all use cases, like naming. ENS was the realization of that vision of the WhitePaper. And now ENS is launching its own blockchain
🔊 Announcing: Namechain by @ensdomains, a purpose-built Layer 2 solution. This is the next evolution in ENS and part of the larger ENSv2 direction. By dramatically reducing costs, improving performance, and providing a familiar Ethereum developer experience our hope is to

Logged in to see if this thing was up. The app has been down for 3 days but the site is live. Bluesky is full of X refugees and it’s lovely. If Elon wanted this app to be uncensorable he should have migrated to a decentralized infrastructure just like his own people built.

Great work on building the tooling necessary to facilitate this! Thanks to Hedgey’s UI, implementing the governance distribution through Meta-Governance was a complete no-brainer. Now, stewards can securely focus on what they do best! 🫡
Welcoming ENS DAO to Hedgey! @ENS_DAO uses Hedgey voting streams to give stewards full-voting power of their locked token streams on day one. It's front-loaded onchain governance rights with the benefits of locked token streams. Dive in below👇 https://t.co/aqi0Xlrsm9

Exciting to see what was pioneered by @avsa and @zkMarek with Universal Logins back in 2018 ( https://t.co/vgF5Ld0jNe) is finally coming to production on a huge scale within a year! This is going to be a such unlock for the crypto UX.
I sketched out my "dream wallet" that would be 10x better than anything in web2 or onchain today need to solve a bunch of hard challenges, but i think we can get there in the next ~6-12 months. onchain is going to be 100x better than online.

This is what polymarket VP predictions were two weeks ago. I believe it’s clear that Prediction markets aren’t predicting the news but rather just just reacting to it. And I don’t think it could be otherwise unless there was a large flood of insider trading happening, which

The US focusing on total medal count is a funny obsession of being first place by arguing first place is not that important.

Developing humanoid robots because our society is “optimized for that” is failing to fight for a society that better adapts to a wider variety of body shapes and sizes. I don’t want a future where we force everyone to be standard Optimal human. I prefer a future where we have
