You know what I like on💎 Anemale’s Generis — it’s the fact that I mint an NFT and not some coins 🤷‍♂️ @anemale.eth Try it for yourself, it’s very cool 😎 A rare world shaped through human choice and Anemale logic 👇

Sometimes at night when looking at the sky I realize that I’m, we all are, made of the same stuff (aka energy) as the stars and the universe. It has very calming effect on my monkey mind 😇 try it

For this past week, I wanted to try Wispr Flow. I heard some of the builders on YouTube talking about it how they use it even when coding stuff. There's model that works locally or you can use cloud Pro version. Finally downloaded it today, and it seems pretty awesome. It works everywhere, it's super slick and fast, and it formats pretty well. When I tried dictating emails or a shopping list, it did everything almost 99% correctly. I suggest you give it a try if you wanna lift up your speed 😉 PS: Love the Snippets feature! https://wisprflow.ai/r?PETE256

If you are into lottery games — you’ll love LOTRY In this one you can win, but if you lose you’ll get 90% of your bet back 🤩 Join the fun!

just earned my daily $QR reward for checking out today's winner @qrcoindotfun

Damn, this firefly.social posting is pretty lit and smooth, even for a long stuff ... 🥰 like my previous DeSo rant - I posted it from there and I can even edit that on X 🤩

I think it was Messari who called this week's DeSo shuffles a “reset phase” — it believe it's an accurate frame, but resets aren’t regressions. They’re reallocations of energy. I'd say that community sentiment reflects this split: — builders feel cautiously optimistic (nice!) — speculators feel under-stimulated (yay!) — observers sense “less hype, more useful work” (hopefully!) Which is exactly what you want before things find their place. Also, at least for now, the conversation has moved: - from “How do we get users?” -> “What kind of users do we want?” - from: “How do we monetize attention?” -> “How do we reduce coercion?” - from “What’s the killer app?” -> “What’s the minimum protocol that can’t be captured?” And these kinds of questions don't address your $1B valuation, but they signal understanding that every existing platform has its niche. Whether it's Lens, Farcaster or Noster or Fediverse and others. Asking for utility rather than explosive growth might look like a slower path. But it's a more durable one and can be explosive too. After all, every explosively growing product delivered something users considered unique and rare. I like how Vitalik framed DeSo as necessary infrastructure. Farcaster, Lens, and Nostr aren’t “alternatives.” They’re ongoing attempts to realign incentives around: - user-owned identity - composable social graphs - exit without exile - communication without algorithmic coercion - and at least for Nostr - also full censorship durability. Equally important for me is what he didn’t emphasize—speculative tokens, growth hacks, or financialized attention. Which many (including big names) see as the only path forward. Hence, in 2026 I expect and want to see more of: — more AI-assisted, but user-controlled feeds — stronger identity and wallet convergence — human only feeds & privacy first options based on the above — fewer platforms, more interoperable layers — and less hype ... And let's be fair - teams and companies change hands and leadership every day in the startup world outside crypto. So no big deal. I'd go that far to say that the only founders who end up running their companies long-term are those who found an early fit (product-market-fit). You don't get bored and exhausted so quickly when numbers just go up all the time, and you see what you're doing is working and valued. Think Amazon, FB, AirBnB. So I'm glad for the shake-up, it felt a bit tired and stagnant these past 6-9 months, and I'm cautiously optimistic that my favorite garden (Farcaster) will get better and more social, and who knows - maybe even more human. 🤓 WABY?

Day 15 - Daily Stoic for Builders - Anger vs Manliness I view it as one of the greatest achievements in life when I learned to manage anger rather than just supress it. Stoics equal angry to complaining - which they see as lack of courage, strength and endurance. As a founder, you don’t want to be the complaining or blaming type. You really don’t. 💪

Getting my DeSo take for this week ready 😄 like you haven’t had enough of those

Why not Neycaster? Sounds good when you say it 🤩

They say LUCK 🍀 happens when prep meets opportunity! And that means you can consider yourself lucky if you’re reading this 😉

Interesting data point from VFMH newsletter 🤔 Not sure if we're doing better in Europe - if anything comes to mind, let me know.

I just minted "Glyphy Caugh" by @bfg on /nexart It’s such a cool app that @arrotu creates - art from sound is my favorite option 🫶 supporting artists and earning $NexA

Zach Rynes said on Bitwise’s recent Twitter Spaces, that calling Chainlink a “data oracle” is like calling Amazon a bookstore. I liked that a lot. And here I'm, thinking since the first Chainlink hackathon that it was a data oracle 🤪 But then I looked deeper and wow - now it's data oracle and more... - Chainlink’s “data oracle” services - Chainlink’s “cross-chain interoperability” services - Chainlink’s “automated compliance” services - Chainlink’s “runtime environment” developer platform - ... I guess, there's something more there, as Matt Hougan from Bitwise says - maybe undervalued given its market share. Thoughts anyone? 🤓

This is pretty cool 👇 If I was still building routers or rocket engines, I'd definitely join muShanghai and be a builder in China for a month https://mushanghai.xyz/

Day 14 - Daily Stoic For Builders - We only control our reasoned choices 🤷‍♂️ I’ll leave you with the list of things we don’t control from Epictetus himself. And I add just one comment - our reasoned choices don’t need to be correct, actually, they often won’t be, but if they’re reasoned - we can learn from them. But if we go with the flow - there’s nothing to learn from 🥶
