Wild to thing that “mint it on zora” is not what zora allows for anymore
or will that legacy infra be forever there because it’s just a permissionless smart contract?
im having fun with my new exploration on x trying to understand solana and the trenches culture (i deleted all my follows and started from 0, which produced a full algo reset)
it feels very alive. and fun. and chaotic. and somehow disciplined. the trader culture is captivating and different than what i had experienced only focusing on base all this time
i strongly think that the black and white mentality between base and solana reduces the domain of ideas for building cool and new products, and this exploration brings to me new thoughts and possibilities that were not in me before
both chains can and will coexist invisibly eventually. maybe. what if solana is the cultural layer and base is the infrastructure layer of a business?
for anky, i see solana and $anky (6GsRbp2Bz9QZsoAEmUSGgTpTW7s59m7R3EGtm1FPpump) as the marketing department of the product
of course clanker could be the same on base. but idk. it’s different. im not sure yet how. but it feels like
i think of base as the other parts of it. where the ai payments happen through. where the more “business 3.0” part of business happen. if that makes sense at all
there is a strong core in my unconscious relationship with life that makes me take everything too seriously
i see myself wanting to engineer anky as a meme that resonates with people. and want to understand stuff. but these people help me remember that you can’t engineer vibes
i like that because it helps me take myself less seriously, and see my blind spots in a new way
(which is actually good for me in every sense. the cosmic joke just wants me to have fun and laugh and joke and be the kid i am inside fully)
for all the degens out there, what app do you use to track wallets? to cluster them? to see which wallets are connected with each other?
ideally looking for a tool that i can look a wallet and get intel about it
on a day like today my mother was born. full gratitude to the eternal thread of life that brought me to this moment
generation after generation. one human being born after the other one. each one being taken care of by their mother. vulnerable. alive. the process of birth happening for each one of us

tomorrow i finish another work cycle with a client
my endgame -at least for now- is to work with only one client, for a cycle of only one month, shipping only one product at the end of the it
an MVP that acts as the distillation of everything that we discussed throughout that process
i become a filter. a translator. a vehicle
to manifest their vision into something concrete. actionable. into a link that they can share and see if people resonate with. into a product that *does something*
and that solves a problem for a given set of users
that's the philosophy that i bring to the relationship
but right now, with the advent of ai and vibe coding and all these things, i feel endangered. painfully endangered
and extremely imposter. because what i have for shipping tomorrow is /extremely simple/. you could see it and say:
this was vibe coded in one day
and yes. you could maybe vibe code the app in one day. but there is a process of distillation that is hidden behind the simplicity. there is a filtering that is hidden and that im having trouble articulating in how i position myself towards the market
how can i show my value if the apps that i create are /that/ simple?
but then i remember that that simplicity is actually a feature. there is nowhere to hide. there is no shining objects to hide behind. no animations. nothing
only one core functionality presented to the market with the intention of actually knowing if the market cares about it or not
to then give my clients a concrete direction based on my learnings and where i see things going.
and there is actual value on that. and i will do my best to continue believing in myself enough to actually be able that becoming a magnifying glass for ideas *is actually a very valuable skillset that the market needs and that many people would pay me for*
and continue getting better at it. over and over again
imagine if i end up having more potential clients than time available forever. rn i feel extremely anxious because i don't have a client lined up for after this cycle
and i fear:
will there be anyone that wants to work with me?
and what if there is? what if there is more than one person?
what if i actually get to choose who i work with?
that's the dream. and it starts by believing in myself enough because everything is downstream from that
i used this to unfollow everyone on x and now started from scratch just following solana degens and trenchers to have a direct experience of that culture
what should be my pfp? what's a good <10 usd solana pfp collection?
this is absolutely not the vibe when i sit on the computer to do stuff. i somehow always feel in a rush. as if there was no time. as if the world was moving at a speed that feels fundamentally overwhelming and im being left behind by all of it. rendered obsolete. so i need to hurry up and do things as fast as possible
day 4 of the spaghetti benchmark
some remarkable ones here. im better understanding how to add structure and a story that actually works for engaging with the viewer
a good thing that @privy could do is to provide a unified balance accross all the created wallets of users on a given app (base, solana, etc), and provide the infra for making the crosschain payments seamless, inside that app
ohhhh I forgot to share yesterday the day 3 of the spaghetti benchmark
honestly im still on the ongoing process of understanding WTF this all is and the value it brings to the world. how to package it in a way that actually brings value and is not slop that people scroll away from
