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.

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.

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.

I actually think the solution is to end all men’s sports. Hear me out: . All sports should be non-gendered by default, and when there was a big disadvantage to one group then that would be the special category. The end result would be very much similar, but for most part there.

Interesting clarification as the bigots reign in. Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif is NOT a transgender, in fact she couldn’t be if she wanted as Algeria prohibits gender affirming care or identity change and being gay is illegal can lead to prison. She’s intersex, with both X and Y

You need crypto to buy block space. You need block space to run an app like poly market, which can only exist if there is some sort of semi anonymous money coupled with transparency and trust. Cory once gave a keynote at Devcon he knows all this, he just doesn’t agree on the.

There's almost nothing that can *only* be bought with crypto. You can buy illegal things in the mistaken belief that the transaction will be durably anonymous; you can pay ransomware creeps who hijacked your personal files or your business's data:. 12/.

Being a “father” of 12 children with different women is like being a CEO of four different companies: you can’t possibly be there for quality time and you’ll end up doing a shitty job at all of them.
