At Cosmos EVM Day. The energy is here!. Haven't been to a Cosmos conference with this much excitement since Medellin in 2022. Hats off to @BPIV400 and @0xMagmar for making this happen 🔥. And great work @seb3point0 and the whole team for putting this together. Excellently done!

Apps should respect users, and avoid wasting their time. It took us many hours, IBC upgrades, audits, edge case testing, and so much more to make Stride liquid staking 1 click. Now we’re applying that same philosophy to Stride DEX.

@KodiakFi @eatsleepyeet @BakerDAO420 BakerDAO will continue to innovate and dominate under the watchful paws of @lordpemby @berastotle @0xbeartic . Very impressed at the level of execution, smarts, and degeneracy from these folks. Excited to see what the future has in store.

Stride's focusing on the basics. We're going all-in on Stride DEX. @kodiakfi and @eatsleepyeet are excellent, and will continue to grow stBGT within @BakerDAO420. 20% of profits will go to STRD buybacks. BakerDAO gets a leading LST that grows their product suite. Everyone wins.
A governance proposal was just posted to authorize @BakerDAO420 to acquire Stride's stBGT. This proposal will let Stride fully focus on Cosmos and Stride DEX. Incubated by @kodiakfi and @eatsleepyeet, BakerDAO will continue to grow stBGT and will profit-share with Stride 👇🧵.

Mheibes is the world's hardest bluffing game. 500 years old and 10x harder than poker. 45 players line up, one of them holds a ring. The other team's captain has 5 minutes to find it. One wrong guess and they lose. Top players can find the ring 2/3 of the time 🤯.

The honking situation in NYC is out of control. We need to start taxing car noise. $1 per honk. Will vote anyone for mayor that promises to make the city quieter.

Picking a movie is too stressful. There are infinite options to choose from. When you're with a group, it only gets harder. This is a big pain point. It often takes 30m to pick a movie. This is an easy problem to solve - someone will make an AI Movie Picker that will dominate.

@stride_zone Highly recommend watching this talk by @TheiaResearch that covers the issue. Make crypto markets investable .

Blockworks' transparency framework is a huge step forward. We need tokenholders to hold protocols accountable. Investors and funds should demand disclosure. This needs to be widely adopted for crypto to mature. I'm proud that @stride_zone is participating.
0/ Token markets are broken & suffer from information asymmetry & hidden risks. We're changing that. Introducing the Token Transparency Framework, a new standard for leveling the playing field.

it's shocking that plane wifi is better than bus or train wifi.

Polymarket volume here: DraftKings estimate: DK did $48B in volume in 2024. While DK doesn't disclose further, other state governments do disclose more information (in particular, New Jersey, Colorado, and Nevada). 25-30% of bets are on NBA, let's round.

Added bonus: there's currently an arb between Polymarket and DraftKings. Bet $565 on OKC winning the NBA Finals on DraftKings, and $100 on the Pacers on Polymarket. 1% return in < 2 weeks, while prices last.

Really impressive that @Polymarket and @shayne_coplan have started competing with the big dogs. And winning on several key markets!.

Polymarket does more NBA volume than DraftKings. $1.7B wagered on the NBA Finals on Polymarket vs $0.8B on DraftKings

Startup request: auto-sell unsolicited airdrops. It's annoying to see so many useless tokens in Phantom, Rainbow, etc. Would happily pay 25% of any airdrop to a bot that would auto-sell for me. Who's building this?.

Fun fact: NFL draft has more viewers than the NBA finals.
PACERS 🆚 THUNDER IN THE 2025 NBA FINALS 🔥 . Who's winning the chip? 🏆

Average IMDB rating of current top-10 shows. Apple TV: 7.8.Peacock: 7.2.Netflix: 7.0.HBO: 6.9.Hulu: 6.6. Apple TV almost 1 full point above the rest.
A delightful UX feature: on Apple TV, if you rewind a few seconds, it turns on subtitles just for that one scene. Apple is the best streaming platform. Their library is small, but excellent. It's refreshing when the norm is endless mediocre content. @AppleTV is the new HBO.
