As if the week could not get any weirder, it did. The broader crypto market is up, but CPI prints today as this drops, which likely swings rate‑cut odds for next week. Translation: we either go up or we go down, fast. Farcaster has been a bit quiet, but here is what moved.

What is good. Yesterday felt like a fever dream with Apple unveiling the iPhone 17. Wild that the base model now starts at 256 GB — feels like only yesterday we were juggling a 32 GB iPhone 5. Elsewhere, the revised U.S. jobs data landed ugly with nearly a million fewer jobs than first reported. Polymarket odds now price a September cut at roughly 83% for 25 bps and 14% for 50 bps. Robinhood previewed a new social platform for early next year, and X open‑sourced its algorithm.

GM and happy 9.9. The crypto world was briefly rattled by an NPM (Node Package Manager) hack disclosed yesterday that allegedly touched a large number of wallets. Many major projects and wallets say they are unaffected, but it is still a good moment to check operational security: review recent approvals, revoke anything suspicious, and avoid signing unknown prompts.

GM and happy Friday. Touch some grass this weekend. Markets are still choppy heading into the September FOMC; Polymarket odds for a rate cut remain above 80 percent. I still feel good about the market but I am being extra cautious and not trading much. HODL well, size risk, and you will be fine in the long run.

GM GM. Missed yesterday’s issue thanks to a flu. Here is what I missed and what moved. Markets are still choppy, so keep calm; I will aim for a fuller ReadMe recap tomorrow.

Majors dipped this week and the Fear and Greed Index floated in the neutral 45–55 zone, which puts us in that no man’s land feeling. Call it a little zugzwang on whether the market rips or not. As we head into September, seasonality says “Septembear” then “Uptober,” but with a mid‑September Fed meeting in focus, any hint of rate cuts could flip the mood fast. I am still leaning bullish, but Base volume looks thin across many names, so I am keeping the caution high. GM and have a great weekend...

GM, GM. Feeds feel quiet on Farcaster today. Maybe it is the calm before the storm. The broader market looks undecided, and rumors are swirling about a 2 PM ET Oval Office announcement from Trump. Is he sick? Strange timeline we live in. Either way, here is what is moving across Farcaster.

Good morning Farcaster and hello September! Seasonally, September had been a down month while August was generally a good month. However, we've seen that August wasn't the best month so hopefully we'll see a good September ahead. Plenty of things to look forward to including a possible rate cut (There is an 83% chance of a rate cut currently on Polymarket).
