learning from orpheus: just look forward
The story of Orpheus is a pitiful one. His beloved wife Eurydice was bitten by a snake and tragically died. Heartbroken, Orpheus chose to visit the Underworld to have the opportunity to see his wife once more. As a musician of unparalleled talent, Orpheus played a heartbreaking melody with his lyre for Hades, the god of death. Hades was moved by the song, and opted to give Orpheus a chance to bring Eurydice back to life. He had one condition: Eurydice could follow Orpheus out of the Underworl...

art gobblers thought dump
IntroductionToday I will talk about Art Gobblers, a NFT experiment designed by the engineers at Paradigm. The premise of Art Gobblers is that Art Gobblers are NFTs that can produce blank pages by burning Goo, a token that is emitted by these Gobblers. The amount of Goo that is emitted by a Gobbler is dependent on how much Goo they currently hold. The more Goo that a Gobbler holds, the more Goo it will produce. This makes Goo highly inflationary. Blank pages can be drawn on by artists, and Art...

ct_zpy's OSRS flipping article
IntroI’m going to talk about flipping in OSRS, partially because I’m bored, but also because it’s probably one of the biggest reasons I ended up in crypto today. I first started playing Runescape at a time period later than most, around 2010. I played it on and off through the years, but in early 2021 I discovered exactly how profitable flipping was in OSRS. For a period of around 2-3 months in spring 2021, I traded for anywhere between 4-8 hours a day on the Grand Exchange. During this time ...

looking back at the money printer
IntroductionI’m writing this piece to paint a better picture as to exactly what happened to the economy during the Covid crash, and what the Fed did to support the economy. It’s a bit long, quite complicated, and also I’m an idiot with zero formal economic background so take everything you read here with a grain of salt. Some bits of this are stolen from Stanley Druckenmiller’s talk with USC. Other parts are stolen from random websites that I stumbled upon during my Google searches. I am a th...

a timeless thesis
Introduction and DesignTimeless is a brand new experimental new defi protocol. Timeless is a protocol that allows users to speculate on tokenized interest rates in either direction. Timeless does this by offering a yield token that differs from current yield tokens (Element/Pendle/APWine) in that Timeless’ yield tokens will never expire, allowing holders to collect yield on underlying assets infinitely. These are called Perpetual Yield Tokens, or PYT for short. In order to access these PYTs, ...
