Skill issue.

Over the years, new economies have exploded on chain. NFTs, memecoins, and more have emerged as new asset classes. But the existing economy isn’t here yet. @americanspend is changing this. Not by tokenizing one asset at a time, but by bringing it all onchain simultaneously.

On NYSE, $YUM is Taco Bell + KFC + Pizza Hut. On Spend Market, they're unbundled. You can just (baja) blast Taco Bell. Finally.

@bfresh different cuisines: There’s mexican/texmex/calimex and then there’s Taco Bell.

@derekbrown I can’t do it bro It taste good sometimes but if I’m getting a burrito or a taco I’m going straight to the local joint where they speak to me only in spanish 😂

@bfresh how can one hate on taco bell unfathomable

@derekbrown 😂😂

This was my collegiate compsci professor’s website. I immediately changed majors, but still lowkey love the aesthetic.

Seeing a lot of Robinhood vs. Coinbase discourse on the TL. Soon, the wallets will settle it.

Weekly spend at Chick-fil-A is private data. The drive-thru line isn't.

Check out @spendmarket: spend.market

Both NYSE & Nasdaq are information markets. But they're really inefficient. They resolve quarterly, based on self-reported information from the listed assets themselves. They close on the weekends and at 4pm daily. Opening a new market is nearly impossible. We can do better.

> we need 50 apps people love and use Yes. Robinhood is an app people already love & use. Two ways to expand the ecosystem: • new apps that people love and use (@spendmarket) • apps folks already use come onchain (@robinhood) Robinhood Chain is not lame. More, please.

It's Friday. Which register gets your weekend? If America buys it, you can trade it. Waitlist is open at spend.market

We @useboardwalk want to help scale durable, transparent token economies on @arbitrum and @RobinhoodCrypto. We've been building as a team for over 5-years and deprecated our prior protocol that did billion+ in volume and millions in fees ~6-months ago to build Boardwalk, which is fully audited with all admin functions forward facing, timelocked and disclosed in docs. Migrating our legacy token from Base to Arbitrum with a live CCA on @UniswapAuctions now for fair market access and formation, ending July 10th at 11:58pm PT. 100% goes into perma-locked liquidity on @arbitrum. No additional allocation for team, sale, etc. Team token transparency report issued in June, located in disclaimer section of docs. ~25% supply owned with ~11% from allocation and ~14% from independent acquisition. Boardwalk requires the token to be live as consumption and utility are embedded at the contract level. We moved quickly on the CCA because of this, so many have not had time to hear of or learn about Boardwalk. Auction ends soon. Boardwalk is the economic operating system for programmable, transparent, and durable token economies. There is no better home for it than on @arbitrum! If you believe in transparent, immutable token economies and a platform that supports coordination, economic independence and freedom, please take a look! website: useboardwalk.com docs: useboardwalk.com/docs

I’m really excited for American Spend

@mhdempsey there’s a company who plans on market making on @spendmarket and using the information there to advance their superforecasting model happy to intro

If you’re working on or thinking about superforecasting with AI I would love to talk. In SF for the next week and around the internet otherwise.

@D333z 🫡 respect the game

@derekbrown I know - I felt like a bit of a black sheep at the table. 🫣 It was a tough review to write, but it came from the soul.

Burger #13 - The Jail House Smash @ Brown’s Diner ⭐️ Overall - 6 🎨 Creativity - 8 🍔 “Classic”-ness - 7 The Jail House Smash is a hardworking burger. It's got plantains, peanut butter, jelly, jalapeños, bacon and mayo in a fight for positioning. There wasn't a serial flavor journey but more-so a 4-5 lane highway with cars playing some of your favorite songs all at the same time. I felt like eating a first draft - not bad by any means, but the awareness of the potential, overpowered a true state state of flow.

The programmable economy is creating entirely new financial markets Via @spendmarket, users will be able to trade on what U.S consumers spend on Coming soon on the Arbitrum Platform
