@0xDith lmao cupcake business

I love onchain games. But onchain games are cupcake shop businesses. The best performing onchain games serve 1K - 10K players and run $ 1M to $ 5M in annual revenue. Anything above has historically depended on exogenous factors: euphoric conditions, chain subsidies, or airdrop speculation.. all of which are temporary in nature. None have broken out of the relatively low ceiling above them and that's partly because financialized games have better PMF in other forms (perps, prediction markets, etc). Hyperliquid generates >$1bn in annualized revenue and has crossed $ 4t (yes t as in trillion) in cumulative volume. Polymarket has done ~ $ 20bn volume in the last 2 months. Prediction markets & perps are speculation games everyone can play with zero prior context or learning curve because there are now markets for everything. If you want to then onchain games are a nice cuppa earl grey tea: loved by some.. but niche compared to the availability and appeal of alternatives: black tea, green tea, breakfast tea etc. So as it stands today, onchain games sit in this weird spot, with a low ceiling. Now.. assuming you want to build a valuable ecosystem, then an onchain game CAN be a great and viable wedge to start, and a product within {insert ecosystem vision here}, but builders must figure out what to build beyond it to achieve said value. That's the question facing every team who starts their business with an onchain game, including us (and we've been working on our answer - we're just not talking about it... YET). All this said, I guess it's fine NOT to want to ... I just have no idea what that feels like.

@chooserich sorry to hear. at least this is one of the more treatable cancers you'll get through this easy boss

Got my results: Classic Hodgkins Lymphoma Likely won't post much about this primarily because cancer posts are always a downer and I want to focus on the positive. Feels too significant for me not to share though. Kinda wild as you never expect it'll happen to you. 🤷‍♂️

@monad Wow a lot of stuff

Big month

@Deebs_DeFi i'm the only one on CT who actually reads i stg

@AzFlin hehe i was really really tricky with the CTAs in this post but im honored that the great AzFlin even clicked into this

I made this in 2023 A compilation of threads on common traps in crypto. (Recommend you bookmark this) But there's a new trap I MUST . highlight and speak about more: Inadvertently promoting a rug pull "OH THATLL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME. IM A SMALL CREATOR WITHOUT MUCH DEAL FLOW" Yeah bucko you say that until it does... Also you're at higher risk as a small creator in 2026 1) Smaller accounts with limited experience are now getting paid opportunities (I'm glad! But there's risk here as many don't have solid agencies or experience to filter out bad projects) 2) Tokens/Rugs can be spun up by anyone, no dev experience required to be a scammer (not the case in 2023) Unfortunately, this has created a perfect storm for illicit projects to prey on creators. How do I avoid scam projects and do DD? Here's what I look for: 1) TGE Promotion: If a project asks me to promote just their TGE, not their tech... I RUN LIKE HELL It's simply not worth the risk. Even legitimate projects run into legal and ethical issues at TGE. Avoid. Avoid. 2) Jaded Past: Have other people raised concerns with this project before? I run a google search and grok query on the project with key words "Rug, Scam, lies". See what pops up. 3) Agency Deal vs Cold DM Deal You should never blindly trust a marketing agency to protect you BUT I have noticed that deal flow through REPUTABLE agencies often acts as a filter layer and are generally safer than deals you get in your X DMs or on telegram. If you've read to this point, add "super shady" to your comment below. Experiment continues. My advice: if you can, try to work through agencies and not random chats. 4) Face and legal names: Are founders doxxed? If not, I'm not working with them. Easy choice here. 5) Auditing/ Tokenomics Does the project have a token/smart contracts? If so have they been audited? I look for evidence of a third party audit + often do a small audit by checking for top holders of the token and seeing the connections between them. Still reading? You're goated, ignore the first CTA and say "sketchy af" instead in your comment. 6) Endorsements (good and bad) Endorsements should never be the main reason you promote something but they can add or remove confidence. Positive: reputable KOL or project endorsements. People who have been around for a while. Neutral: CEX listings are neutral. CEXs have and will continue to list scams simply because they want the token's volume. Negative: if a known scammer is promoting a project I will also avoid it very simply because of association. Final thoughts: I truly believe that ANY creator taking deal flow nowadays can easily fall victim to promoting a rug pull, which is why you need a system to filter out bad projects. What do you look for when trying to spot scams? What are the most telling signs?

@Maytch wow this is an interesting perspective

Target Practice

@Jakob_Wahlberg It’s that easy

Based on the catalog of my favorite games, the secret ingredient seems to be that you should simply spend around 6-7 years to make them.

@DannyLimanseta got it, very vibes based. i liked the rain drops that showed up on my screen when i spawned in

Thanks for checking out the game! Yup those are probably real players, especailly if they are stealing flag from each other. Sorry if you felt a little lost! maybe I could have done a better tutorial. It's a chill, freeplaying game where there are some side quests to do (and see the dark ending) but totally optional, most people just fly around for the vibes.

I have open-sourced the entire codebase for Tiny Skies. You can see all the commits (100% commited by Cursor), right from the 1st day of the #Vibejam competition. If you know coding, I'd love to seek your expertise to take a look at the code to see how "messy" it is. I've always been very curious about how good/bad agentic coding is these days. So open-sourcing it will hopefully answer that question for me and whoever is curious. Github repo here: github.com/dannylimanseta…

@DannyLimanseta wow this game is so beautiful! i like how you auto fullscreen me as well are those other real players playing in realtime? was kinda lost what to do, i see people getting flags, i did a start -> end race course thing

@OhYouBlockhead > In the Uber back to your hotel, you text your ex. bro...

Why Your Vegas Trip Sucks First, you're late. You get to your hotel at about 4 pm, just in time to wait with all the other yokels dragging their luggage in one giant line of the damned. You're stuck anywhere from 1-3 hours, covered in travel dust, waiting to start any of the super fun, cool things you know you're going to do. You check in with your online reservation for the cheapest room. You don't tip the front desk clerk. When you get to your room, instead of feeling like a Fun Vegas Tourist, for some reason you feel like a kid too easily impressed by the cheap marble in the bathroom. You have a big, shitty view of the roof of an adjacent administrative building and half a parking lot. Also, as soon as you step foot in your room, you realize you're starving but surrounded by capsules of tiny, cheap snacks you can't afford. After relaxing, which includes turning on the TV for some reason, you hurry back downstairs to "beat the crowds." You go to the casino. You sit at the first $15 minimum blackjack table you see, a 6:5 continuous shuffle machine covered in sidebets you don't understand. You tip the cocktail girl a red $5 chip and ask for $3 change. On your biggest hand, you split two 9s against a 7 and get mad when you lose. You go back to your room and get dressed in wrinkled clothes then go down and wait in line for dinner at the most popular restaurant where you're staying. Maybe you did some Reddit research on "best steakhouse in Vegas." It doesn't matter. You wait 45 minutes to be seated in the Den of Hell, surrounded by drunk bachelor parties shouting at the top of their lungs and grey, skeleton men clinking glasses of wine with their daughters. You order the steak with the Chef's Star next to it, specifying rare so they know you know. You see a group of girls who don't look twice at you. Whatever. It's late enough that you go to a strip club, using a Vegas Insider tip that you can get limo service for free. You tell yourself you won't get scammed. In the strip club, you immediately go to a private room for with the first girl who talks to you. You spend $1,200 for an hour without getting so much as a high five in return. You lie to your boys in the group text. In the Uber back to your hotel, you text your ex. Maybe you hate yourself and spread this out over a 4-day weekend. On your flight home, you write something pithy about how Vegas sucks. The whole city is overrated.

@basche42 the ancient tech

Kids came running in to tell me they found a “new AI” on the iPad which “answers all the math questions”

@RhondaReed1 @fvkasm2x @ProvoGal01 @Tablesalt13 keep cooking

@AzFlin @fvkasm2x @ProvoGal01 @Tablesalt13 This has been an interesting experiment.

Well I thought moving from Ontario to Alberta would be better but it turns out I walk down the street of my new home and it looks like I'm in India and the middle east. The smell of whatever curried garbage they cook everyday is downright nauseating. Is there any place they haven't infiltrated? They gather in groups and stare down any white person that passes by them. Heaven help you if you're walking your dog. We were born here. They've been in Canada for like 5 minutes. If you live in Alberta, please tell me an area in Alberta that hasn't been taken over by third worlders. @ABDanielleSmith When you import the third world, you become the third world

@jimchang @mew__666

@AzFlin yo gimme recs

ngl these “microdramas” are super entertaining (e.g., the JPM scandal fruit trailer) it’s like a deep clean for the brain

@0xRuzy going for a bit just to fuck around and meet ppl and have fun is kinda based tbh

“Lucy Guo, the youngest self made woman billionaire, and the co-founder of Scale AI, says we should drop out of school.” While talking about how she built her fortune at a young age, she spoke about growing up as a second generation Asian immigrant. She said she believes people should rethink school, but added that doing at least 2 years of college still matters, not just for learning, but for making friends and understanding life a little better. Then she shared something personal. She said her father would email her, calling her a failure. Her response? She sent the emails straight to spam and kept building. Sometimes the biggest win is blocking out the noise and betting on yourself.

@FWPlayboy This is the way.

Will be married by 25 never work another day in her life…

@yacineMTB I’d rather just travel the world tbh

Being a parent is great. You guys should have kids. I really mean it. You guys should have as many kids as you can

haven’t properly dated in 5 years the singularity is already here

@catch0x22 let it brew, let it cook, let it sizzle

@AzFlin ye let it cook, seen worse farcaster token charts

Can claim $SNAP here now: farcaster.xyz/cassie/0x71e40… i claimed 8k worth (rest vested), only worth like $100, low liq rn. just launched on ETH mainnet let it cook?
