I come with a goal of changing what UI looks like and what UX feels like in crypto. I'm not sure about when it's going to happen or how I'm going to get these jobs but for sure I'm going to do it. One team, one protocol, one app at a time. Already provided detailed feedback and suggestions to @TotoTurtlesNFT for their Tuffy AI webapp and although team hasn't gone live publicly yet, I hope they do so eventually and I'll keep providing advice till they launch.

@grande77_ Thank you chief

seven months ago i quit crypto. i'd been in the industry for almost a full decade. and i'm ashamed to admit it took me this long to notice something about the game i was playing. there are two kinds of games: games with memory and games without. in a game with memory, what you did yesterday makes today easier. in a game without, every day starts from zero. crypto is a game without memory. i know because measuring that was my job. i started this account at the bottom of the last bear market with zero followers and grew it to 100k+ in under two years. i wrote educational pieces and quite a few scam investigations that about 150 million people read. by any normal measure it worked. the money was good, and i made connections i could never have made any other way. but investigating scams teaches you something you can't unlearn. exposing a scammer has no effect. none. the people i exposed came back months later with new names and bigger scams. every market remembers. stocks remember enron; banks remember 2008. crypto is the exception. it forgets everything. it runs on attention, and attention resets every morning. the scammers were selling it. the influencers were selling it. i was selling it too. that's what a game without memory does. nothing bad that happens to you there is permanent, and nothing good you build there is either. most of what crypto produces is sh*t for exactly that reason (with a few exceptions ofc). so in december i cancelled six figures of booked promos, closed my company, and quit. (the r3ach guys unwound every deal without a single complaint. in a market with no memory, i'd like that remembered, GOATs.) people assumed i'd be back in a month. instead i spent the last half a year building an app. i won't say what it is yet, except that it isn't crypto. there's no token. it's a product to improve life of ordinary people, and it's the best thing i've ever made. a game with memory, finally. i'm posting this because i'm hiring, and i want to fill them from ct. ct is what you get when you remove credentials from a labor market: the people who rise have nothing going for them except output. that's exactly who i want. two roles to start: a creator manager and a creative strategist. part time, remote, anonymous is fine, and i pay properly. full job listings in the next post. dms open. with love, Pix.

@decentricity tbf, can't get STDs from your hands 😂

@grande77_ @Basketballpunt3 Good morning bro 7084080363 Moniepoint Jeffrey Prosper

A beautiful morning ✨ 35USD gift from stake this early morning. If 2k isn't small for you, kindly leave your details below ♥️ My bro, @Basketballpunt3 will pick few people from CS to be credited.

This was supposed to be wassie man🙂 I tried🤷🏿‍♂️

I built an AI Powered App that can secondary and university students solve their mathematics questions. There’s the “teach mode” where users get to learn any topics at all. There’s also the CBT mode that’s has all JAMB, WAEC and NECO questions from conception till date.

Me earlier this morning 🙂

@farfesadee Omodolapo the troll 👏🏿

Omo! Nawao 😭😭😭😂😂

@alfredtinom I no know say this account still dey 😂

@CryptoJeffbezos Why u come dhe laff nah 😂😂

Just checking if truly the TL as been restored Good afternoon fam

@sultanabaniks This means the user can either use the phone number or the actual account number if they know it for transactions and they'll land in the same account. I haven't worked with a Nigerian fintech but this is what I'm guessing happens based on my experience using moniepoint.

@sultanabaniks This doesn't really answer the question What I think is happening is Alias mapping or account aliasing. Most of these sort accounts have an actual account number for the user (I know moniepoint does) so when a request comes in they map the phone number to the actual account.

Ok I got some responses from people. Here's what I got: Opay and Kuda (moniepoint and other big fintech companies) don't rely on commercial Banks to process transaction. They're now fully fledged financial institutions backed by CBN and NDIC. It's only the upcoming fintech companies that rely on partner commercial Banks to function because of the strict rules around payment in Nigeria. But behind all these fintechs and commercial banks is Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS). They're the one responsible for the actual en routing that happens at the backend.

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.

@farfesadee Congratulations big man

Get in jhor!!! Resumed my new role as a Backend Engineer😌😌😌 It only gets better from here.🥂

Spot on! Couldn't have explained it better. This dynamic has always been my problem with base.

going to add my two cents here i believe ppl are generally upset with base because you guys pick & choose what you want to support onchain, because you never know what is going to work and what isnt going to work so it isnt as simple as objectively determining what is positive sum beforehand for example, base did a big push on creator coins, you even directly bought balaji's coin, but base was not as supportive of memecoins, especially the ones that were doing a lot of volume onchain and could have benefitted from exchange listings earlier, but the creator coin & memecoin charts ended up looking near identical, with most of the creator coin charts not doing nearly as well as a lot of the largest memes on base - i personally think there are some unique reasons for why they didnt work and will work in the future but thats for another post from my pov there are two different ways to value crypto assets, one is based on the fundamentals of the underlying business, and the other is more intangible value determined by the community of users of the network and driven by attention/momentum/belief etc hyperliquid is a great business that makes real revenues and is valued in part because of those revenues, but it also trades at a premium because of the collective belief that their users have in the network and their future plans to execute on that vision bitcoin on the other hand, makes no revenue, but is the largest crypto asset by market cap because it trades purely on the collective belief that it is a better store of value than depreciating fiat currencies and the network grew so large that it became a self-fulfilling prophecy ethereum is somewhere in between in that it does make real revenues but if you simply valued it purely off of those revenues as you would a tech stock it would trade 95% lower, ethereum also has some intangible value determined by the network of cypherpunks who are majority stakeholders of the network, and they believe that its value as an asset is more than what you would come to conclude on based off of purely p/e ratios tokenization, stablecoins, perpetuals, and prediction markets have been crypto's greatest success stories to date, tokenization in particular has been so successful because it is one of the only ways to accurately put a dollar value on this intangible value of culture and attention memecoins are denigrated by a lot of the corporate entities in crypto, but i think what a lot of people fail to realize is that the same intangible value that drove bitcoin and ethereum to be the #1 & #2 largest assets in crypto is the same intangible value that attracts retail to speculating on memecoins, doge sits at $11B and has outlasted a majority of coins over the past decade, its value is purely derived from how internet natives value culture and memetics on the internet do i think its important to uplift and support protocols in defi/rwas/consumer etc etc? yes, but its just as important to recognize what your users are interested in trading, the best analogy i can make is that if you are a mayor of a city and you have patrons who want to go to nightclubs or go to the casino or go to bars, you would not exclude this activity because you only want people to build businesses like banks, restaurants, corner stores, bookstores etc etc. - for an L1 to thrive it needs to have a diverse ecosystem of all things, and it is clear from the data that onchain trading volumes directly positively impact the native blockchain, whether thats in bringing more attention to the chain, or increasing fee revenues, or increasing revenues of underlying infra providers, or attracting new builders to create new products - best example of this is how bonk revitalized solana at the lows & was a very core reason that trading activity came back onchain + the main reason the first set of solana mobile phones sold out all L1s & L2s are social networks with their own ecosystems and their own culture, with permissionless networks you cannot control what people build or trade, but you can find ways to provide support across the board and contribute to ideating on how to make trends more sustainable

If memecoins are really coming back, it would be the first meta that survived its major bubble
