I was afraid #allinsummit would be a boys club. Instead I found women who are as brilliant as they are kind and men who are inclusive as they are accomplished. This quality of diversity is a testament to the new culture that @theallinpod is driving forward, arguably full force.

and the CEO of the crypto company just acquired by Stripe for $1.1B — the largest acquisition in crypto ever — has 5.9k followers on Twitter. friendly reminder that the ones who are the loudest are rarely the ones creating the most value. :).
CEO of probably the largest onchain company (15 million onchain users) . has 16k followers on Twitter 😅.

@venturetwins my ex showed me this when it first came out. i was shocked how well it could replace a therapist with an objective third party POV. i use it across relationships now. you can share screenshots, ask it to evaluate, provide recommendations, and even help with thought journaling.

kinda crazy half of CT was just in singapore and they’re all arguing about some party instead of highlighting that you can literally pay for the your Uber-equivalent with crypto and that most of Singapore is immigrants who send $$ across borders and often use crypto to do so.

apparently there are 900+ side events at devcon. let’s assume a modest $10k average across events. that’s $9 million (!!). imagine if a portion of this was instead spent on ecosystem projects and builders. can someone fix this.

@constantraise imo you’re missing the point of the pod. people love it not because they are rich or wealthy or smart, but because it was 4 established guys who were able to disagree and debate thoughtfully and diplomatically with another during a time when no one was questioning the world.

pinching myself !!!!. there are no words to describe how immersive, innovative, and addicting @cryptothegame_ is. to understand it, you simply have to play it. and once you play it, you realize the best part isn't the outcome but the strangers-turned-friends made along the way💚.
This season of CTG was filled with drama, twists, and unexpected turns, just like any good reality show. After a second-place finish last season, @tednotlasso is the winner of CTG S3, securing the 71.6Ξ/$150k prize. Thanks to everyone who played, supported, and followed along!

(i swear this is related to devcon). i spent a summer in an operating room, shadowing an orthopedic surgeon who was the team doctor for the Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings. in a typical OR, the responsibility of cleaning up post-surgery usually falls on the nurses. in ours that.

what if i told you there’s this super sleek new group chat app where you and your girls can buy and sell and share memecoins IN THE CHAT ITSELF. it exists and we should make a chat just ~*for the girls*~. ps every GC needs a @kugusha and @annoushkaxyz
only 3%* of memecoin traders are women. we can do better. add the girlies to the group chats. share the contract addresses. send the alpha. let’s fix this!!.

today was the first time warpcast rewards got sent directly into the new in-app wallet. people immediately put their USDC to use — renewing subscriptions, betting on polymarket, swapping into community coins. just scratching the surface

when i worked at goldfinch, we had the best company ritual:. every Thursday was Crypto Club — someone from the team would give a deep dive on a new crypto project and onboarded us all. forced us to understand UX pain points, market trends, bad vs good positioning, etc (and fun!).

it goes without saying but will say it anyway. crypto is so so so lucky to have @afrochicksnft . full-time professional athlete putting the same tenacity and energy into building a genuine onchain brand. watching her in action IRL after cheering her on URL is beyond special

idk who needs to hear this but literally no one outside of crypto cares about:. -whatever the fuck chain @Polymarket is on as long as it does its job. -solana memecoins unless they're desperate to make some $ OR lying about being in crypto. -NFTs (they still think they're jpegs).

random thoughts on onchain content:. 1. for most people with taste (including artists, creators, etc), its actually demotivating and not compelling when they see bad content earn more money onchain than good content; obviously bad/good is subjective, but a turnoff nonetheless. 2.

back in LA after a week in NYC for the annual @farcaster_xyz community-run FarCon and WOW i’m both exhausted and so so energized. from popup libraries and coworking to Barry’s and beerpong, every experience was electric (esp demo days). now’s a great time to (re)join — i’ll help!

reading through replies on @blader’s tweets about experimenting with memecoins. and it becomes so obvious who in crypto is kind and high integrity and who is just an asshole. had a hunch it would end poorly, but the way some of you treat someone new to crypto is bad. be better.

this is not a joke. SKIMS is launching a bra with a built-in, faux nipple. the campy ad is genius product marketing, A+. she’s really leaning into the meme, the current fashion moment, and her brand. whether you love it or hate it, it’s gonna get plenty of exposure. brilliant.

my loosely held opinion on the "social media platforms capture 95% of value" argument for onchain content:. it's built on the wrong assumption about what matters to creators at large. data shows ~70% of the global creator economy and creator income already comes from.

@datepsych i agree the reactions to the scandal are the most troubling: they have revealed how many of us in society, specifically in elite positions, are willing to sacrifice principles for tribe. principles should always win over tribe. @waitbutwhy foreshadowed this at @allinsummit ‘22.

fav things about @farcaster_xyz rn:.1. new Warpcast Rewards* leaderboard is mostly women (!!) + new accounts are rising to #1 bc its follower-adjusted. 2. new v2 Frames (in-app apps) make it 5x easier to discover + try new apps AND has built-in notifs. *$10k in rewards this week

really proud of the @farcaster_xyz team for this one. on warpcast, users earn $$ just for creating and engaging with content. now with wallet, $$ can flow seamlessly between users and mini apps to drive instant onchain actions, like minting, tipping, swapping, and collecting.

my loosely held, emerging opinion on crypto’s parallels to fast fashion:. the fashion industry produces over 100b products a year, with SHEIN alone adding 10k new product per day (!!). the average product is worn 7-10x before it’s discarded. imo the SHEIN-ification of fashion.

on @farcaster_xyz, this can't happen — users own their account + social graph at the protocol level. no central block. no platform-level censorship. you keep your account, following, and posts no matter what any one app or centralized authority tries to block or take away.
X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to.

i struggle with the take "crypto needs to fund more apps". yes i too want to see more apps but the vast majority of apps i see anchor on memecoins and don't actually solve a problem (which imo is what startups should do). there are exceptions (eg @bountycaster), what are others?.

I'm joining @farcaster_xyz!. After building around FC for ~1.5 years, I'm more bullish than ever on the team, protocol, and product. Last time I felt this way was when I joined @opensea ~4 years ago. 2025 will be big for crypto and Farcaster will be at the center of it. LFG 🚀

i agree with @kyle that crypto is financial infra, and it is a big miss if we assume financial = speculation OR financial =/= culture. the most popular consumer apps are both social and financial:.- flip, whatnot, tiktok: social commerce platforms.- roblox, pokemon go, clash of.
Again: crypto is financial infra. Not vibes or art or messaging or regen or w/e.
