i've been reading tempo docs lately and it's one of the few sites that actually has everything so well-written and curated from zero to one

another VISA card with a crypto brand slapped on top is how word of mouth happens, which the industry desperately needs and should seek more of

"ethereum is currently optimized for capital efficiency and financial primitives rather than high volume retail payments. tron, by contrast, is optimized for moving dollars cheaply and predictably" "usdt dominates stablecoin usage in emerging markets, while usdc is more common in advanced economies and institutional settings" int'l expansion, regional execution, market penetration will be the key growth drivers in this stablecoin supercycle https://x.com/i/status/2021635854549365083

software as a service → code as a chat → taste as a moat

coinbase super bowl ad is a pure act of marketing genius, you watch it, you hear it, you remember it the next time you see that color, listen to that music, it will remind you of many things, including coinbase. that's how you paint a picture in the mind of consumers, that's how you make it for everybody, that's how am i everything you need you better rock your body now go have fun, do things, make money, everybody https://x.com/i/status/2020664192374645023

every successful product in the world is built for users, not for price action (people don't get it) the next wave of products will be game-changing, price discovery will follow (people will get it)

how did we go from 'never been more bullish' to 'it's over, i'm leaving' in like 10-20-30 days distraction supercycle

"turn users into owners. align interests. do something"

builder-first network will be in full motion, farcaster is going to be better and bigger exhibit one is here

token is a byproduct, not the product

"you ostensibly have god in your pocket, the excuses are fewer and fewer by the day" i'm long matthew, i'm long everything he said here, full marks

i often think about this positioning, hooks, language are some of the great catalysts, yet they're frequently ignored, sidelined, dumped

"the new lego block should be an auction based ad model" creator tiers, priority slots, pre-commit bids ... exciting times ahead for ad unlocks

rainbow is showing us the way and raising the bar price discovery is imminent

the best way to read long form on twitter is never fall for clickbait, sign out of twitter, leave your mobile behind, shut down your laptop, and go touch grass, it will all make sense

i've been spending time in the farcaster ecosystem for about three years now and i have to admit that community has some serious "can devs do something?" energy

i don't have an opinion right now, but thank you @v and @dwr for all you guys did over the years. it was no less than a privilege watching you all build farcaster from scratch congrats @rish and @manan for steering it ahead, good things take time

a few observations from the last few months: -the hate directed at dan reveals more about insecurities and entitlement (know-it-all cabal and masters of speculation) -chain abstraction is real (use fomo, clicker, and feel the magic) -nothing more beautiful than a product that just works and does what it's meant to do (pls don't explain your product in 50,000 words) -many folks in crypto are just a wrapped version of naval ravikant (how to fix yourself) -it's far better to not play than to play both sides (do the right thing and get rid of people-pleasers) -so many crypto marketers are all about how great they are, not how good their product is (can devs do something) -scammers/farmers seem to have forgotten that people see through their bullshit (make no mistakes)

the easiest way to understand markets right now is to get on fomo and watch what means business for users and how money follows thesis study markets, shills are irrelevant

just opened a new index position on @indexy
