give me your city (or place you want to go to) and cat will show you something nearby you've not seen before via browsing around google maps

@CurveFinance So what you're saying is that you're arms dealers in the trade wars?

Thanks to trade wars, 24h hour volume on Curve is around 1.6B, the highest APR and utilization being for pools with staked Ethers. So what if the world will have trade wars? Ethereum is the battleground for trade wars!

@functi0nZer0 At least she's being very polite in Welsh. Good for her.

My kid has pretty much turned bilingual This is a big problem because the other language is Welsh No one at nursery understands her when she says “mwy o laeth diolch” instead of “more milk” Howls “dwr” instead of water And she counts in Japanese We’ve cooked this kid so bad

@0xaporia Zero. I'm not one for straight-up gambling, even with decent odds.

If you could press a button that has a 50/50 chance of doubling your net worth or halving it. How many times would you press it? (put your reasoning in comments pls)

@ReetikaTrades Send it.

Capo is FINALLY bearish now btw

@ReetikaTrades I think it's a classic Tragedy of the Commons. There's no downside to spamming and it's cheap to set up an AI reply bot these days. If nobody does anything, this app is going to become unusable.

What is with the influx of AI reply bots? Getting replies/quote tweets from new bots everyday(with pump fun CA attached of course) and it’s always the most basic/dumbest thing I read all day Pls stop

@redphone That's a good question, and one I've been pondering myself. What about a mixed commodity futures basket? Sure, some of them can be incredibly volatile, but a mixed basket should allow you to balance out the volatility.

We're in the ultimate goldilocks zone... Supportive regs legitimize crypto and create massive demand for stablecoins, which helps the US keep borrowing costs down (why? bc stablecoin issuers turn around and buy treasuries, which no one else wants). This helps the ponzu go further and harder than people imagine. What I can't really wrap my head around is what happens when the music ends? We dream of "selling the top" but what do you sell into as we stare into the jaws of the singularity and USD hyperinflation? Do you buy the dollar? Bitcoin? Stocks? Land? I don't have a clue yet, but I know every fiber in my being will urge me not to buy it. That will be my clue...

@ReetikaTrades Something about this tweet resonated with me. I suspect the Golden Bull really did just kick off and you're going to look back on this tweet as absolutely nailing the timing. (Yes, yes, I know it's done well since the election, but that never felt like the _real_ bull market.)

We’re ACTUALLY going to make it aren’t we

@MrBenLilly @threadreaderapp unroll

14/ TL;DR: ETH isn't just new money. It's compute-based consensus that enables Globalization 2.0. The future of money isn't stablecoins. It's the commodity of compute on a permissionless, global network 🌐 A network that enables unfathomable economic expansion.

6/ Why compute? Because global organization needs a foundation. The UN and international trade agreements showed us: cooperation + consensus = economic expansion. But the costs are massive 🌐

@ledgerstatus @cobie I think @CL207 knows a 16yo if you want to start there.

@cobie This is entrapment isn’t it

I want to live a quiet life but also capture 90% of the upside of the complete degenerates running circles around me. Please advise.

@spreekaway Can confirm! That article was fascinating and I learned a lot.

Anyways, I think I have gone on for long enough at this point (Giving the OP a run for its money!). I'd encourage you to read the post despite my criticisms and disagreements. You will probably learn something.

Not defending these actions by the fraudulent crypto firms of course, but it does highlight how these AML KYC and debanking obsessions are fundamentally incompatible with protecting consumers.

@DefiShaka @Zhechang1 @HubertX13 That makes sense. Me, I'm staking for a few months at minimum to see what happens if the new administration creates a better regulatory environment for DeFi. I understand the temptation to sell now, but IMO it's going to get much more interesting soon.

@Zhechang1 @HubertX13 @ScribblingSteve Who knows, but as long as there is strong incentive for people to sell (prices going up dramatically), there is less motivation to stake in a liquid wrapper. Maybe if prices hold steady for a few weeks or months...? 🤷‍♂️

History of the $cvxCRV to $CRV exchange rate over the last few years:

@chrispyr11 @HubertX13 @DefiShaka That's a good point. The wrappers aren't as liquid.

@HubertX13 @ScribblingSteve @DefiShaka I think also there is a lot of CRV and CVX volume on centralised exchanges which allows for people to sell into demand. There’s a lot of people selling wrappers onto DEXs but not the same level of demand.

@DefiShaka I see. I suppose that's fair if they wanted to rotate, but now strikes me as a _terrible_ time to sell DeFi tokens. Then again, I'm a terrible trader, so maybe it's the perfect time.

@ScribblingSteve People want to sell after a 300+% increase, not stake.

An important message from Simon & Schuster. All the Big 5 publishers are being impersonated this way-- #WriterBeware gets multiple reports of these copycats every single day.

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com

@tbonier Do you suppose they're running out of people to register? They were registering at twice the rate of White and Black voters earlier this year. #amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17255787418358&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fnews%2Fasian-america%2Fvoter-registration-asian-americans-election-2024-rcna169370" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.nbcnew… What do the cumulative registration totals look like, if you happen to have those numbers handy?

In battleground states it was a mixed bag. In MI AAPI registration was 13% and 12% behind in WI, relative to 2020, while in NC it increased by 22% and 21% in PA.

One cautionary note for the Harris campaign in the new registration data we've been analyzing (over the week of July 21 relative to the same week in 2020): AAPI voters. Asian Americans were a key component of Biden's win, with massive increases in turnout relative to '16.

@CL207 It gets better! That's just one of a series of hotels built for the (then) new railroads, and many of them are both extant and just as awesome: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_rai…

wait ... you can literally live in this castle bro what LMEOW

are there cute cafes in quebec ? not sure why but always wanted to visit quebec / montreal, since cat is kinda bored might just fly out tmr lmeow

@henrycobb @shashj @Jack_Watling And that number is increasing on a monthly basis thanks to Ukraine's submarine conversion program. They're technically capable. In practice, they're creaky, loud, and have bits falling off.

@ScribblingSteve @shashj @Jack_Watling Russia has more subs now than Germany started WW2 with and these are vastly more capable.
