Significant Onboarding Changes
JP Franeto examined updates in Warpcast's onboarding process, highlighting the removal of the 70 autofollow list and improvements towards a more cherry-picked initial feed.
every week i create a new fid through warpcast to check how the onboarding flow changes through my own experience guess what no more 70 autofollow list and that initial feed is now a cherry pick and seemingly unbiased selection of the best casts of the network this is an important change. chapeau 🎩 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/aeb6af7b-6e8f-4fa3-03b8-133509aeec00/original https://warpcast.com/downshift.eth/0xaa3ea0c9

Discussion on Chain Relevance
Kartik questioned the need for Polymarket on Base, suggesting that for user-friendly apps, the underlying blockchain should be irrelevant.
It bothers me seeing people asking for a polymarket on base. Just go use polymarket, the whole point of building consumer-friendly apps is the chain literally should not matter. Biases are showing.

Political Narratives in Crypto
Ted discussed the general indifference outside of crypto towards specific blockchains and political party stances on crypto.
idk who needs to hear this but literally no one outside of crypto cares about: - whatever the fuck chain polymarket is on as long as it serves its purpose - any political party's stance on crypto (for real, its just us) - solana memecoins unless they're desperate to make a quick buck OR lying about being in crypto
Social Experiment: AITA Scenario
Ted shared a personal story about bumping into an old friend, sparking a debate on social etiquette in such situations.
okay let’s play AITA i’m walking down the street and see someone ahead we’re the only two on the street and probably 25 yards between us i realize it’s my friend of a decade+ who friendship broke up with me months prior (his choice but ultimately mutually agreed upon) i’m like ok let’s be adults i smile, wave, say hey (what else am i supposed to do?) he does not do as much as even acknowledge me marches directly forward, stone cold stare as if i am not literal inches away waving with no one else around us like what AITA for trying to say hi, should i have just pretended he didn’t exist too need outside perspectives plz

Bitwise Ethereum ETF Transparency
Noun 40 announced that Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) published its Ethereum addresses and set ENS subnames for added transparency.
Announcement: Today, the Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) became the first U.S. ETP to publish its Ethereum addresses and set ENS subnames for each address. 1.ethw.bitwise.eth -> 0xa15c...2A69 2.ethw.bitwise.eth -> 0xEd92...b4eF 3.ethw.bitwise.eth -> 0x3339...7cB5 4.ethw.bitwise.eth -> 0x7716...eec8 5.ethw.bitwise.eth -> 0x6F28...57Ed This is the sort of transparency only crypto makes possible. It allows anyone to verify ETHW’s holdings and flows directly on the blockchain, and it lets people easily build public dashboards or write smart contracts that utilize the available ENS records. We’re proud to bring onchain transparency to ETHW in an Ethereum-native way. We will add more addresses as the fund grows. You can always find the up-to-date addresses on http://ethwetf.com. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/4e5fde68-0230-43a7-63d3-7f00c31ae300/original

Polymarket's Unique Selling Points
TLDR aimed to differentiate Polymarket from Predictit to make it more appealing to crypto skeptics.
When I tell my smart non crypto friends about Polymarket they’re like “yeah I already knew about Predictit. What’s the difference?” I’m looking to steelman Polymarket for the purpose of shock and awe-ing them into taking a more serious view of crypto. Any suggestions?
