Some of my least favorite crypto words:
1. Hodl: Started as a drunk typo and turned into a meme for “never sell,” but mostly functions as cover for not having a plan or a risk framework. Would it be too much to say that I think this is just a dumb word from a bunch of perspectives (including a trading perspective)?
2. Wallet: It’s not a wallet. It’s a key manager for a keypair (public + private) or a smart contract account. Assets live onchain and the keys just control access.
3. Gas: Sounds like filling a car. Ugh.
4. Decentralized: Not binary, but a spectrum. You have to ask “decentralized what?” Validation, governance, infra, ops, ownership, because different layers can centralize or decentralize independently.
5. Trustless: Nothing is trustless. You’re trading trust in a single counterparty for trust in code, keys, protocol economics, and the people who designed and maintain them.
Not sure if anyone thought that Morocco 🇲🇦/ Senegal 🇸🇳 was the best game on today.
Completely insane and fun to watch. And especially fun thanks to @bracky and @tldr!
I lost, but it doesn’t matter. The excitement was worth it.
Love decentralized use of protocols.
But, it is a bit odd/funny that many posting on Base assume that everyone is reading their posts on Base.
...And, that many casting on Farcaster assume that everyone is reading their casts on Farcaster.
...Or that casting in a channel on Cura or Farcaster results in a channel on Base.
FYI: This was cast on Farcaster.
Spaghetti Carbonara. Homemade. There’s *no* cream. The creaminess is created by an emulsion of egg yolk, Pecorino Romano, and starchy pasta water (using a double boiler). I used the traditional Guanciale (from an Italian specialty store) as well.
