I feel like I need a multi hour stroll though Central Park

Stablecoins that anyone can use, under your full control. Built on Ethereum.

there's also this weird overlap between tennis / chess enjoyers. i decided to drop chess entirely since it consumes space i use for work in my brain. tennis is a bit easier to manage in that sense

tennis is the perfect sport. if you have not contested a deuce for over 15 minutes, you haven't lived

I'd like to think it's forgetfulness but a lot of people just don't understand fault proofs don't prevent incorrect state transitions they prevent someone from lying about what state transitioned occurred still unnecessary when building a rollup these are separate things

thoughtful questions by @real_philogy @signetsh is built with opinions question rollup orthodoxy simple > complex

One thing I wanted to say, but didn't get to: Bitcoin is struggling culturally/technically with parasites, while Ethereum is just giving its lunch away to RUs Ethereum needs Rollups. Rollups don't need Ethereum. Except @signetsh. We're too tightly coupled to go anywhere else 🙃

im sick of "alignment" being the goal of #ethereum projects, @peter_szilagyi's open letter to the EF explicitly critiques this culture of kingmaking where what @VitalikButerin and his posse say is good for the ecosystem is good and aligned, how about you think about @Polygon

It is completely impossible to look for competitive related advice on Reddit because you just get the quirk chungus “why compete? just have fun” type of advice like have you ever felt the hunger to win. cmon

we're hosting a cozy ~ creative technology ~ night with @designengclub this thursday at 6PM in NYC we have a packed lineup of creative demos from @svardnan @hotemogf @emilyzsh @conliuart @craftwithanna and @mathurahravi and me!

The kindest thing you can do for someone is believe in them more than they believe in themselves.

this seems to be a particularly American phenomenon, fwiw

why does everyone want to become a bartender or similar when they retire. what’s the appeal

Instrumentation (for Rust Ethereum) by @signetsh and @_prestwich! These guys are really serious with Rust, we should learn from them! Instrumentation is often underestimate in the ecosystem!

The reality is that there are not that many great people in crypto that are talented, experienced and dedicated. We've just come out of an era where you had to be a total maverick to work in this cursed industry, both because literal nation states threatened you with hard

if you're a crypto dev wondering what instrumentation is, and where to start, @prestwich wrote a quick primer Here are the key points: 1. Tracing >>> Logging 2. Spans >>> Events 3. Mature systems need observability 4. You can implement it. Easily. Today.

it is simply impossible to excel if you don't do things for the love of the game

the inevitability of crypto eating all of finance is what makes it critical to uphold the core values/ideas that started the movement. self-custody and permisionlessness are hills to die on, they must be non-negotiable. otherwise we will end up worse off than the status quo.

the point is: you should do these things for the love of the game. Anything other than that won’t allow you to truly follow your heart on what you should do with your life
