Projects should stop paying CEXes for listings and instead research how @THORChain works

I believe I am now 100% free from nicotine dependency Yay

@the22nd88 @brockpierson The crosschain merges with the fast castle build

@EricOnchain @brockpierson

Who here played Age of Empires 2?

@Hera_Aoe @brockpierson I’m sure you still lose vils to boars

@brockpierson I play it for fun on the weekends

You walk into a gastro park. Every stand has this sign. You can pay with any token in your wallet. What are you getting first?

@thordex_ipfs Maya and Thorchain are already highly correlated, why focus on zcash and dash when there's plenty other markets/communities worth adding to TC? Why be that redundant and canibalize potential volume between both protocols if they are already close to each other?

Zcash (ported from MAYA) and ZANO (being done by Zano team) coming already. if Dash can spare a dev to copy the MAYA integration into THORChain, I'm sure it would it greatly appreciated. 🙏 Monero is coming too ⚡️

@emc2_st @mocadotapp @THORChain It takes liquidity, integration time and true decentralization and permissionlessness carries tradeoffs and influences perception. It’ll come around, TAO would unlock so much if they get integrated

@mocadotapp @THORChain Strangely they don’t seem to care. All these protocols don’t even care to drop a message. Bizarre behavior considering they are decentralized but they only crave cex

If @THORChain integrates $TAO, paying with native TAO becomes an option on Moca Zero integration work on our end, no partnerships to deal with Let’s make this happen Thorchads

@coopernicus01 yes but, sometimes being top tier smart allows you to larp midwit and understand the audience (not saying I am but we do have em at moca)

it’s hard to explain to high IQ people but it’s really important not everyone at the company is a gigabrain everyone being smart is bad when your target audience is not smart being too smart also often leads to focusing on logic instead of feelings, this causes big problems in business because most people are NOT logical anyway, i guess im saying hire some dumb people with good vibes

@mocadotapp easy piecey my 3yr old could do this

Merchants don’t want to train staff on crypto. They want a cashier to walk in and run a sale on day one This is all it takes:

@Bernanacatl @zeymermoca @JMasterHamster 👀👀👀

@zeymermoca Do you agree @JMasterHamster ?

When corporate giants enter the space they almost always choose control over collaboration. Instead of adopting existing open standards like x402 we just get more walled gardens and fragmented liquidity. Building a new L1 just to own the underlying standard is a step backwards. We need unified infrastructure for the agent economy not ego driven silos.

The original idea behind crypto was simple: > 2 people > 1 transaction > 0 intermediaries The real question was always where the fees go. With Moca, the people who grow the network earn from it. Not processors or card networks.

@TheDesertLynx Definitely good, just not the norm or smth that can scale to average joes yes

@EricOnchain Relying on them is, yes. I still think it's good to self-host if you want to and can afford it.

Some of the biggest scams in crypto were hoisted on people under one simple pretext: "But you can self-host your own node!" This simple red herring has enabled all kinds of compromises to our sovereignty when using crypto. Now first, let me be clear: self-hosting is great. Running your own node is great. Compared with having to trust companies to not screw you over, it's absolutely massive. However, the "you can self-host" distraction actually harms the practical decentralization and sovereignty of the space in two key ways: 1) Not Everyone Needs to Run a Node! The entire novel innovation of crypto is a decentralized, unified, guaranteed network that remains censorship resistant. The whole point of this is that you don't need to self-host to have censorship-resistance guarantees. You can just use the self-funded, self-running decentralized network. By deliberately engineering protocols like Bitcoin (and to a lesser extent, Ethereum) in order to make node-running accessible for hobbyists, everyday transactions and actual use by said hobbyists became out of reach. In other words, people were made to be able to run nodes to validate transactions they themselves can't afford. 2) Ignore Centralization If You CAN Self-Host The even darker part: by giving a self-hosting option, users are distracted from the blatant centralization and censorship vectors facing 99% of users. A great example of this is Lightning, where anyone can theoretically run their own node and manage their own payment channels in a fully peer-to-peer way. But practically, it's immensely clunky, technical, involved, and expensive. As a result, almost all users use fully-custodial systems, or at best extremely-centralized semi-custodial services, and this goes ignored because theoretically anyone can self-host. The Real Holy Grail: No Need to Self-Host The real innovation we should be striving for: no need to self-host! The most innovative freedom projects take the core foundational principle of crypto that started with Bitcoin: that the system makes it so that honest miners will run a censorship-resistant network without all participants having to run miners themselves. They take this foundation, and apply the principle to every level of the stack. Essentially, anywhere in the entire experience of an average user where there's a company or centralized service in there that they need to trust, find a way to decentralize it, without requiring the user to self-host. We've already made amazing progress on this already, and we can keep doing better. But we have to learn to avoid the self-host red herring.

@lewisaoe Bro what, 2-0 already LFG!

@lewisaoe I also saw the bracket and thought it would be hella cool to see a Lewis Hera final

My Official TTL Predictions

Tempo goes to mainnet and we get some clarity on securities Both events are correlated The system will push the existing status quo And people are cheering for it

@Dashpay Yes, but bullish

@EricOnchain Yes, this, but with a smile.

We haven't moved on. We've had our best year ever, and it's only March!

@CepnikMaciej we get lazy, also people drive like shit (and the city is shit) when it rains so its not worth it to go out

Normal attendance of a meetup in Mexico City 🇲🇽☀️ Around 40-50% of the total registrations. Attendance of a meetup in Mexico City when it rains🇲🇽🌧️ Around 20% Why is that? 🤔

@T90Official I hate these one dimensional strats so much (and that they work)

LMAO this is too good 🤣
