Beyond MidwitI check many of the boxes...Knowing thyself is extremely powerful as I often find myself a mere statistic, but never quite “average”. How I consume data, and knowledge has changed drastically. I suffer from decision paralysis. I do not have a good handle on how to engage socially. I am an introvert.Who is “they”?Firstly, high level. Very few people care about me. But, “they” don’t have to be my enemy. The conspiracy is not against me, but an imagined group to which I may (or may ...

2022 Berlin Marathon vs. INEOS 1:59 Challenge.Eliud Kipchoge smashing yet another world record was widely reported. Yet, it meant a great deal to me. Specifically, (1) that Eliud improved his first 20km time, under racing conditions, and (2) that a 2-hour challenge remains a goal at the age of 37. I will not butcher this achievement with my analysis, as I clearly lack the domain knowledge and/or language. Inspired, I will make it my personal goal to stay in shape, and complete 10km within 40 ...

fintech.junkie.eth is a fun guy to follow. Frank Rotman has taken what he’s learned in life and his career, and is now re-shaping how VCs should look at growing and investing in communities. He started his journey with an agnostic view, and dove deep into DeFi. Only recently had he found his sea-legs. As he may attest, DeFi is probably the least interesting part of this journey. He is now fluent in DeGen-speak, and spends his weekends with different communities on Spaces - asking interesting ...

The Taro Plasma GlobeMuch ink has been spilled on Taproot Asset Representation Overlay, including a few lightning (pun intended) marketing rounds in April and 2Q22. After many sleepless nights learning and thinking about the protocol, here’s a visual of what I came up with:Taro Plasma GlobeThe Color of BitcoinApparently, Bitcoin Orange is a thing.
