a while ago I tweeted "you know what's going to truly get us from web2 to web3? therapy." x.com/Sim_Pop/status… 20K impressions - people felt that I've been sitting with that idea ever since - it's finally becoming a thing (after a bit of procrastination because I was touching grass...) 🧵

@tjayrush Yes! Congratulations! Would love to have you on the pod soon…@_humanprotocol

@BFreshHB @ethstatus @VitalikButerin Haha thank you @civilmonkey for liking this and bringing it back to my attention - damn, feels like ages ago! That Status AMA was so good, I think it was the first one in a series I did as we had just started the build for Communities feature in the app

@BFreshHB @ethstatus @VitalikButerin Thank you for this, Hunter! 💙

Miss the @VitalikButerin Status AMA last week? Here's the recap: ⌛1.5 hours of live Q&A 💬Total of 36 questions answered 🛡️All in a public, fully decentralized & censorship-resistant channel Check out all of Vitalik's answers here 👇 our.status.im/status-ama-rec…

@tradebutwhy @benlakoff He’s saying I am

@benlakoff @Sim_Pop So basically you’re saying I’m the top 1% of the top 1%

Peptides have reached peak interest in my group chats. Everyone is talking about what they're taking. Everyone is hunting for high-quality sources. People who were worried about organic foods are injecting random internet-sourced peptides into their bellies. Hope. 🔥

@tradebutwhy @benlakoff Also abs 40 🙋‍♀️

@benlakoff @Sim_Pop Right you just happen to be the only 40 year old with abs!

@0xstark Love this! Enjoy

signing off for a few months 🫡 next for me: long walks, watering my plants, cooking for friends & family, playing music, and reading. see you on the other side! x.com/0xstark/status…

The power of human coordination runs deep here…

@StaniKulechov This has been great to watch and for anyone droning on about the uselessness of DAOs here is a perfect example of long term coordination games working in short term battles!

DeFi United has been the largest DAO coordination I've been ever involved, at least 6 different DAOs with governance proposals (Arbitrum, Aave, EtherFi, Lido, Compound and Mantle). DAOs and coordination sometimes are seen as low velocity, however, when the communities need to step in things are actually moving at high velocity. Kudos for everyone who helped and participated.

@jbrukh They need peptides

Wth, they are 35 — just had to go through the last crypto cycle.

@benlakoff @post_polar_ June 23rd is coming - see you at the embassy party yeah?

@Sim_Pop @post_polar_ Ohhhhh nooooooooo 🇱🇺

@functi0nZer0 Is there a token already or what?

You all realise that “sexy jpm exec” is already a lock for the most obscure halloween outfit this year, right

I would hazard that this is company culture - this type of American psycho-esque behaviour will happen when people’s entire identity is tied to their institutional/position produced power and the control it brings and when they have zero time or emotional intelligence to discern otherwise. It’s the only way to easily (and in the most basic way) validate said identity.

incredible things happening at JP Morgan

@bryan_johnson Going to say this with my non authorised therapy hat on: this is 15 yo Bryan tweeting. Dont know who was in charge during the act but it is teenage Bryan tweeting. For context look into Internal Family Systems by Richard Schwartz and maybe go through the book

Just gave Kate oral sex. Goodnight everyone.

@WatcherGuru American psycho vibes can apply to both genders

JUST IN: JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini accused in new lawsuit of drugging, sexually harassing, and threatening the career of a junior male employee.

@_humanprotocol @griffgreen Hey @BringBackSonics you’ll like this…

"This is why I became a community organiser..." The fight to keep the Seattle SuperSonics in town set off a chain of events that led @griffgreen to not only become a passionate community mobilizer but ultimately, an anarchist. *explicit content

Past days has been extremely hardcore for our team and DeFi in general. DeFi went trough a substantial stress test and the consequences were felt. It definitely was the hardest couple of weeks that I experienced in my life and during the past decade building in the space. I am still writing this with couple of hours of sleep per day so bear with me. For me personally, the rsETH bridge incident was unfortunate as our team and community has put so much effort into securing the protocol and seeing the exploit happening outside of the protocol smart contracts, and affecting the markets is hard to watch even when the markets had (and still have) full backing like Mainnet Core. That being said, Aave has seen multiple market/credit cycles and always has been able to prove its resiliency. I have more confidence in DeFi today than ever, not because of the industry is stepping up and improving security practices, but because there is a true community behind DeFi that is willing to help and do whatever it takes to ensure our space has future. I want to say that during all this madness there were lot of people that were extremely supportive and proactive to mitigate any issues and contagion. At the first glance, from Aave's perspective we were positive that we would find a resolution and we had overall balance sheet, protocol revenue and external/public support to over come the issue from Aave's perspective but what we understood is that the issue was beyond Aave. It was about restoring the whole state of DeFi, avoid contagion and ensuring that the whole ecosystem overcome this incident not solely Aave. DeFi United started as an initiative from DeFi protocols that were affected but eventually became an industry wide movement to save DeFi and bring protocols together. I am grateful for all the contributions and support that everyone has been providing and can say that this wouldn't be possible without it. I'd hope that DeFi United becomes a permanent movement in some shape or form with the right form factor. DeFi United was executed at insane speed and other constraints but there could be a model that could continuously support the industry from the unexpected. I'd say during the past week lot of people stood up and I really don't have the space to mention everyone (you know who you are) but specifically I want to say that @MikeSilagadze deserves more respect from the space than anyone else atm, he went above and beyond and was willing to sacrifice a lot to solve what actually wasn't something cause by his efforts. Full respect. @LidoFinance team also deserve special credit, this team truly cares about DeFi and was extremely helpful along the way. They deserve full credit. @gdog97_ deserves credit as well, who helped to brainstorm various solutions and also stepping in with Ethena and helping on coordination. @arbitrum community for doing the right thing and rescuing the funds from the bridge contract that was a difficult but the right call. @Mantle_Official @Bybit_Official team for stepping up as well and showing strong support. The team has been supportive and truly cares about making the space safe. Last but not least lot of credit goes to @ethereumJoseph who really stepped in to help DeFi and the ecosystem. Joe cares about Ethereum, he cares about DeFi and understand the importance of DeFi for the future of Ethereum. We have truly good people within our community. These folks are true guardians of our space (among others on my long list) that really want DeFi to win. I feel very optimistic now about our space, it is true that events like these can be a setback but in reality it builds resiliency, which our space stands for, and over time that is hard to beat by legacy systems. The past week we had to operate in multiple different constraints from time, information, resources, governance and other. We had to move as fast as we could as time was against us. It was a large coordination effort that we haven't experienced so far. I'd like to give most of this credit to our team and community especially @Token_Logic and @LlamaRisk who went also above and beyond to find resolutions and coordinate. There has been some banter about right type of market structure for onchain lending between shared or isolated pools but the reality is that when capital moves, it moves at scale and market structures are less of a mitigating factor. These kinds of times require to find solutions fast and reestablish the trust in the markets and the technology, that's whats important. All this being said there are some great learnings from this indecent like from any incident and we as any other team involved will share a post mortem and steps to improve anti-fragility. I might be now less bullish on onchain lending as infrastructure and more leaning towards a model where the market structures need to be backed by strong balance sheets and risk transfers, however this is another discussion for the future as issues can stem outside of the protocol's control. Now as the markets on Ethereum mainnet Core are restoring, our team continues to execute the technical plan to restore rest all the markets. Thank you for everyone who has been supportive and we will keep you up to date as we progress. DeFi United.

@StaniKulechov To great humans! 🫡
