@cyrilXBT performative at best, distracting at worst. such a waste of time

INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT. Spend 1 hour building this. Obsidian + Claude Code = your own personal JARVIS. A second brain that captures everything, connects every idea, and thinks alongside you using the most powerful AI model available. Takes 1 hour to set up. Works while you sleep. The people who build this tonight will never work the same way again. The people who skip it will still be taking scattered notes and losing their best ideas next year wondering why they cannot think clearly. Your call.

@beckerrjon @Cloudflare hell yeah dude! so stoked to try this out

added polymarket data to the public dataset. 400m+ trades going back to 2020. 36gb compressed. MIT licensed, free to download via @Cloudflare R2.

@stables_money Verified visa sir

@_founderdan Which card are you using?

💳 Spending crypto like cash globally.

@pete_frosty @ProofofIntern Agree

@ProofofIntern eh people come and go no one gets into crypto for the community cryptos inherent attraction is get rich quick The stickiness is the cultural affinity with the meme which comes after

web2 has stronger communities than web3: lego fans don’t disappear because the stock dips nor do pokemon fans bail when the quarterly report is bad for nintendo. they stick around because the product, identity, and culture matter more than price action. that’s a lesson for crypto: if your “community” disappears when the chart turns red, you never had a community...you had speculators. build things people actually enjoy, use, talk about, and feel part of, regardless of price action to build a real community.

@0xfarmor short it when the market opens on @HyperliquidX

MONAD TOKENOMICS EXPLAINED BY 0XFARMOR. - Monad’s total supply is 100 billion tokens. The team claims that only 10% will be in circulation at TGE, yet over 49% will actually be unlocked, covering allocations for ecosystem development, public sale, and the airdrop. - I was under the impression that once tokens are unlocked, they’re automatically counted as part of the circulating supply but according to Monad, that’s not the case. From what I’ve seen, only unlocked tokens can be staked, not locked ones So unless @keoneHD or @cryptunez have set up a separate contract address for these “ecosystem reward” tokens, the explanation doesn’t fully add up. The lack of clarity here makes the whole thing feel off.And then there’s the 38.9% controlled by the team under the label of ecosystem initiatives and grants. In my view, that’s a red flag because it opens the door for the team to sell portions of these tokens at TGE and simply justify it as “ecosystem development.” Given how much greed we’ve seen in the space lately, it’s hard not to see this as a potential abuse of trust, i find this quite ironic it’s unlikely that people will actively build on Monad right now, since most retail participants have lost interest in pure “tech” projects that don’t offer clear incentives or rewards, so this is it, if nobody or few persons builds on monad, its a win that is more tokens to the team, if it was another team that did this @cryptunez would have made s long form post, team is sounding like delagators can’t sell tokens. - It’s kind of ironic that a team which already raised $225M from VCs is now running an ICO for $187M (7,500,000,000 × $0.025). Think about it essentially, retail investors are buying into the VCs’ positions, allowing them to exit with minimal loss (maybe 10–15%). In other words, the public isn’t funding new development they’re just helping VCs cash out. THAT IS YOU BUYING THE ICO IS THE NEW PARADIGM / VCs IN CONCLUSION , THIS IS A WELL PLANNED HEIST.

@fimbiy @NicoleSHsing @arcarae_ai @pete_frosty

This looks like a simple GPT wrapper that you can build in a few days, wrapped in buzzwords and meaningless word salads. I imagined this app would have at least have some traction to get 2.5M in funding, but it has 100 downloads??? This founder also has no real past projects, they are all listed as getting to "Beta" stage, or "Mockup", then noting learned skills as: "Figma", "psychology", and "social & knowledge graphs". lmao Why would you even list things that only got to a mockup stage? Also her paper seems to be nothing new or special, basically just the model reading past context, summarizing it into an 'inner monologue,' and then feeding that back in for the next reply. The people who put money into this deserve to lose it all.

I am excited to announce that Arcarae has $2.5M in funding and I am finally hiring. Arcarae’s mission is to help humanity remember and unlock the power each individual holds within themself so they can bring into reality their unique, authentic expression of self without fear or compromise. Our research endeavors are designed to support this mission via computationally modeling higher-order cognition and subjective internal world models. Specifically, we are building the computational models of the other side of intelligence that everyone has neglected:  Intuition. Our evolution is anchored in our current product, an immersive universe for self-discovery, and MIRROR, our AI research implementing cognitive inner-monologue in LLMs, reducing sycophancy by 21% on avg. & up to 156% vs. SOTA models. This marks Arcarae’s transition from a solo endeavor into a full-fledged consumer product and AI research company. I am seeking three very specific people to join me on this mission and help scale Arcarae to its next phase. I am hiring one researcher, one marketer, and one engineer as my founding team. These are far from normal roles; the application and hiring process even reflects this. If you think you are one of these three people, please apply right away. There is much to be done <3 And with that being said, Welcome to the era of Arcarae. And as always, I am excited for what’s to come <3

@pete_frosty @Xaraphim Wtf is this lol

@Xaraphim @_founderdan

genuine question , are vc’s just retarded

@hito_sol @tokenise_tech Tracker launch! minerva.tokenise.tech

Big day today.

What’s the proper way to launch and manage a token legitimately? We asked @tokenise_tech, where @_founderdan shares how to avoid liquidity & vesting pitfalls and set up for long-term success And more! Watch the full video: youtu.be/4HWrRuWCYlY

@NozomiNetwork Lesgo

@bitcprofessor @MEXC_Official It's an ICO, a public launch and they're offering a 40% discount on public prices. That's not how launches work lmao

@pumpdotfun has decided to release the most hypocritical token of all time - $PUMP A breakdown of why this $4B FDV token is going down the 🚽 (Skip to 8:45 for the juiciest piece of hypocrisy)

11/ Conc. This is a desperate attempt from the @pumpdotfun team to suck value out of the market I'll be using the upcoming @tokenise_tech tracker to watch from the sidelines and wait for the short Sign up for early access so you can short $PUMP too: waitlist.tokenise.tech

10/ Embarrasssingggg Why not stick to your guns? @pumpdotfun Why not make this a fair launch for all? @pumpdotfun At least it technically aligns; their platform is a joke and so is their token
