it's turning out to be an interesting evening on the internet.
Gonna have to look more into this too
feels not unrelated: I recently interviewed 2 game designers who were looking into moving into fintech to apply their skills because we've reached "peak attention" (sic) and people don't even game anymore

This looks super interesting.

(And I love that they have the Wise logo all over the marketing but you can be sure that Wise will close your account if you deposit into Aave with it.)
I need some advice on using @xmtp hopefully someone here can help.
** Where can I use it today? **
@shanemac.eth maybe?
Reasons:
(a) I'm doing an occasional class at uni on blockchains and use cases (university of Namur & Liège) and used to have it in the curriculum because it's an awesome use case for identities.
I use to tell them to try xmtp in coinbasewallet, converse, hey.xyz and xmtp.chat; but none of those work anymore.
I can't (don't have enough invites) and anyways don't wanna put them on the base wallet since I have them create a good ol' EOA so they understand the medieval art of keeping secrets.
Buying Zora tokens to use in Zora app also not as universal and easy as I'd want to.
(b) I love it, and that's how I met @chriscocreated . Superb use case to show how artists can reach out to collectors.
Anyone got tips?
now that @cobie works at @coinbase , does it mean we're gonna see more bangers from him on @farcaster ?
Would be weird if they didn't put it in the contract or smthg...
or come for the app, stay for the wallet/network effects (private-public key=money and social).
I think it's more likely.
But Whichever way, I don't care.
I just want everyone to have a wallet.
basically @davidphelps 's quote from 2023 which I show every student I come across
