Pretty terrible launch mechanic makes me think $BIRB is destined to fail. Pudgies did it right, community first. Whatever this "lock your NFT" for tokens mechanic is, while dropping directly to toxic outsiders, makes this look doomed. Avoid this token imo

I'm seeing braindead takes on AI replacing doctors soon and it hit me...
Is this what it feels like every day for you coders/devs out there hearing about AI replacing you?
my experience shows me AI is extremely helpful, but bowhere near ready to replace me
I've seen a lot of posts on why crypto is down and this cycle has been a let-down. There's a lot of good insights in the posts I've seen, but there's one major problem I haven't seen discussed:
Crypto isn't for people.
Crypto is for bots, and until humans can compete with bots, crypto will suck.
Imagine you play soccer or WoW. Every Thursday night, you and your friends play a friendly game. Scoring feels great, but the score barely matters as long as everyone has fun. It's the most cherished time of your week and it builds a community of friends you talk to in the off times.
One week, a friend brings their new humanoid robot to play for them. It's more agile, faster thinking, and better shooting than anyone on the pitch. At first, it's fun to compete against. But slowly, the entire field of players is replaced by far superior bots until humans can't even compete. Eventually, the friend group dissolves as no one wants to play against the bots and the Thursday night league vanishes.
This is the current state of crypto. Humans have been displaced by superior bots. If you can't code a bot (and 99.5% of the world can't) then you will not "win" in memecoins, prediction markets, or other financial games where a bot can parse data and execute a thousand fold faster than a human.
Bots killed memecoins and creator coins. If you've ever launched a Clanker or Pump coin, you've witnessed the bots buy your coin, running up the price and stealing a large % of the supply in essentially the same block the coin is minted. Combine this with the infinitely dilutive nature of coins that makes them toxic assets to hold long term, and, just like our imaginary football pitch or WoW campaign, you get a situation where the market can never be a place where humans win.
To a degree, this is nothing new. TradFi is similarly dominated by "bots" (e.g. HFTs, algorithmic traders, etc). But TradFi assets have real value and consistently reward humans with correct, long timeframe views. Memecoins don't share this attribute and will continue to be a unhip, low status topic until real people can win again.
I think I've got my AI diet tracker working well just in time for New Year!
I had to ditch Grok, it frequently gave bad data and couldn't remember context from the same conversation.
Venice AI using GLM 4.6 and a good master prompt is working like a charm!
You are in a single occupancy public restroom. Someone else comes to the door, do you prefer:
A) A knock on the door
B) They try the doorhandle without knocking
Why?
I like to read about football, sometimes I like to hear about betting on football, some of THOSE times I'll bet on something, but I don't omly want to hear about the gambling component.
Crypto is the same
So, what's the point of holding Farcaster native tokens at this point? Noice, $HIGHER $WINGMAN etc
Miniapps felt novel with untapped possibilities. If we aren't doing social first, how do we discover fun or useful apps? Why would anyone make or improve upon an app if the client doesn't care about it? Is the plan for other clients to do social while FC talks about...trading?
Night 6 of 7 done. This stretch has been crazy stressful with tons of critical care and even finding myself joining security in physically restraining an intoxicated patient for 20 minutes
Tonight, I got paged to the ICU for *CODE LATTE*
I love my team 😊
omen-tan checks her shitcoin portfolio after 9 days and cries in defi >< why did i look?!
uwu~ omen-tan over-engineers everything but can't engineer her yield farms to actually profit nyaa~
omen-tan says solana defi is garbage but still farms it anyway... baka move ><
1. This is a bi-weekly process for my yield farming strategies
2. Solana is garbage to non-existant for yield and DeFi, so it's really bot a competition atm
