@mert Crypto+AI amalgam that breaks the stronghold of insurance companies in US healthcare and aids in reversing metabolic disorders for millions (diabetes, cardiovascular, autoimmune) from the bottom up.

I'll be asking this question periodically until people start waking up last week I posted it, I got 0 good answers so, again I ask, what crypto apps that are not possible today will be possible with a 1000x increase in scalability?

@vibhu Could I add a third?...one who looks at others' success and says "Good on you, mate. I have a different definition and am content."

There are two types of people Those that look at someone successful with envy and say “hey no fair, what about me?” And those who look at someone successful with curiosity and ask “how did they get there and what do I need to do?” Be the second type or spend your life unhappy

@helium_mobile what’s up with the new design for Discovery Mapping? Looks like the goal was to make it as complicated as possible for your supporters to earn MOBILE.

@solanapoet @vibhu @MadLads @armaniferrante Not you for sure. Massive respect. But I can't say the same of all

@CuriousSultan @vibhu @MadLads @armaniferrante if u think my releases are getting worse, you’re simply wrong ser

@solanapoet @vibhu @MadLads @armaniferrante Unfortunately I'm finding a lot of releases becoming uninspired over time, chasing droplet leaders. Seems inevitable with a model like this.

@vibhu @MadLads @armaniferrante i think a lot of collections had similar vibes before them. the problem was they built nothing. you really need something ongoing to anchor the brand that can grow & change & be exciting beyond the collection’s floor price. drip works for me cause i keep releasing imo.

@vibhu I am conflicted here. Memecoins are agnostic as far as eye of the beholder. Some of the "art" being dropped into my wallet, not so much.

Unserious folks Take self too seriously Hold ego lightly

It is true that Social Security as it's currently structured is untenable for future generations. Something has to be done. Maybe the debate is helped by changing/augmenting the language from "delay retirement age" to "what sources of support do you have in retirement?". Only 7% of all retirement assets are in Social Security Trust. The vast majority may already be shifting their dependence away from Social Security checks for their retirement years. One approach could be to scale back SS withholding from paychecks for people born after 1970 from 12.4% to 0% for those born after a certain year, say 1985. Divert those withdrawals to the employee's retirement account. These cutoffs are arbitrary numbers for the sake of expounding on the point.

@benshapiro I will say that biomechanical health problems with physical jobs is not the exception but the rule.

For the 100th time, I agree with that, which is why I said in the original monologue that those with health problems will of course want to retire.

@benshapiro It's not that the job is menial (no such thing in my opinion), it's because the physical work takes it toll after 25-30 years. Think oil rigs, construction, farming, warehouse, assembly line...

Apparently, work is only valuable and purposeful if you're a white collar worker, according to these folks. If you're a plumber or electrician, you can't wait to stop working because your job is menial labor or something.

I literally said "unless you have some sort of health problem," which would generally be the case if you've been working as a roofer for 45 years.

Folks are currently valuing $TSLA as an EV company like they did with $AMZN in 2002 without understanding the true value and growth potential for its AWS business. We don't quite grasp the impact of the Supercharger Network, Tesla Energy, Dojo/FSD, and Optimus.

@elonmusk Bizarrely difficult is true. I just became a citizen last December after 25 years of legal process going through F1-->H1B-->denied O1-->EB1-->Naturalization

Because I am raising concerns about the flood of unvetted illegal immigrants overwhelming American cities, the press will often characterize me as “anti-immigrant”. As an immigrant myself, nothing could be further from the truth. I am very much in favor of increased and expedited legal immigration for anyone who is talented, hard-working and honest. It is bizarrely difficult and agonizingly slow to immigrate to the USA legally, but trivial and fast to enter illegally! This obviously makes no sense.

We are too far-sighted with our past and too short-sighted with our future.

"If only" enslaves If only I had that thing I would be happy

@solanapoet The sad human condition of constantly chasing...

i’d tell you to donate more droplets to keep your rank on the leaderboard, but to be honest, it will get a whole lot worse in an hour, so i would recommend a seance instead. surround your phantom wallet with candles. write the words “ultimate” and “legendary” on paper & humm 🧘

Notice how many "leading" companies you read about? If everybody's leading, then by definition everybody's average.

IMO one of the structures that needs to be shattered and rebuilt is that of research data. Academic research is quite fragile because the materials and methods are so finely tuned as to provide outcomes in line with hypotheses. Nearly impossible to replicate outside that lab. And the data is entirely siloed. My vision is to use or build a repository of research data that can be accessed and analyzed by a wide swath of researchers around the globe thereby infusing resiliency into the research. A "github" of data if you will. How does such a repository get populated? Wheels are turning... Cc @philosophygeek @lastnamefox

@trainoutpain They are tokens "gifted" by apps on a particular blockchain to its users. The airdropped number is supposedly proportional to the user's interaction with the app. For a web2 analogy think of it as if Apple/Google/Facebook "airdropped" some shares to their customers.

@CuriousSultan What’s an airdrop

Airdrops seem to be having the same effect on human psyche as the fed stimulus checks did. "When is the next one coming?" "Why didn't I get enough?" "It must be the airdropper's fault that the price is dropping." We don't value what is given to us freely which is probably not good for the ecosystem as a whole. Every product or service needs to stand on its own merit. Do people find value in it? If so, what are they willing to pay for it. Airdrops seem to be blurring that distinction.
