@MarioNawfal Of course there's no one to talk to. Didn't they get rid of the entire chain of command?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran: "We're having a hard time. We want to talk to them, and there's nobody to talk to. We have nobody to talk to. And you know what? We like it that way."

Hey @Railway please fix your custom domain functionality. Love your services, but this in particular is a massive pain.

My current build workflow: 1. Plan with Claude Chat and have it put together a detailed PRD based on our conversation. 2. Review the PRD and fill in any gaps or anything I've missed in the initial convo. 3. Have it review the PRD 1-2 times to catch any gaps or things we might've missed together, especially tech architecture. 4. Pass the PRD to Codex for review. If any gaps or issues found, address them in a new PRD version. 5. Do this a few times until both LLMs agree the PRD is super solid. 6. Implement with Claude Code and have Codex do a final code review. It's been working incredibly well for me. Eliminated 80-90% of issues in testing and QA.

@TrendPolCa @PierrePoilievre There's still some respect and decency in Canadian politics.

WATCH: Conservative Leader @PierrePoilievre refuses to attack Mark Carney on the Joe Rogan podcast, citing the mutual respect between them.

It's time to replace Slack. Really!

@StealthQE4 Shorting is working

There’s just nowhere to hide rn. Nothing is working. Not even gold or Bitcoin.

@sjdedic @P2Pdotme @mdudas @shayonsengupta @jon_charb @robinhanson @Shivfreespirit @slayervault @TheiaResearch @johnrobertreed @metanallok @Futargamy So now we have 2 separate classes of projects? One on MetaDAO and one on Futardio? Second class projects on Futardio? What's going on?

After thoroughly reviewing the upcoming P2P ICO on MetaDAO, I’m convinced this is one of the most compelling public sale opportunities we’ve seen in quite some time, and hence we’ll be participating with size. @P2Pdotme simply checks too many boxes in our investment thesis to ignore: 1) Stablecoins are without a doubt crypto’s breakout use case with the strongest product-market fit. For us, the bull case for stablecoins has always been emerging markets, banking the unbanked and giving people in unstable or hyperinflationary countries more financial (and therefore personal) freedom through access to the USD. I think most people (especially in the West) simply can’t grasp how broken the onramp infrastructure in regions like India, LATAM, or Africa really is, while at the same time underestimating how much larger the demand (and therefore the addressable market) actually is. 2) I think it’s no secret that we at Moonrock are big supporters of DePIN as a vertical. While P2P is obviously not a DePIN, it comes with the exact characteristic that has always made us extremely bullish on DePIN: global capital coordination. Just like building entirely new physical infrastructure networks, the same simple concept applies here: “Give people tokens and they will do things.” The token incentive mechanism to horizontally expand and onboard new operators who will scale adoption across all regions doesn’t just seem highly effective, but also creates a strong moat through its physical component and trust advantage, both of which will only compound as the protocol grows. 3) This brings me to my next point, again comparing it to DePIN. Many DePINs ultimately failed because they treated their tokens like free candy printed out of hot air. And their price performance reflected that, creating a negative feedback loop for those being incentivized. This is where it gets interesting that P2P is going the @MetaDAOProject route, essentially committing to the idea that tokens = equity. Operators who believe in the business early won’t just earn unsustainable loyalty points, but actual sweat equity, becoming part of the business and gaining a claim on its future success and revenue. This should be a much more sustainable approach to achieving compounding growth, rather than a downward spiral to zero. It also enables true decentralization. While this might sound idealistic to some, it matters a lot in emerging markets, where people are actively looking for solutions but are often exploited by fraudulent or scammy intermediaries. 4) If they had pitched this to me two years ago, I would have found it interesting but had serious doubts about their ability to execute, as it’s clearly a very ambitious undertaking. However, they’ve already proven that they can execute, and that the model works. They started in India and are now expanding horizontally into regions like Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina, and beyond, showing impressive growth of around 30% MoM. The model works, it’s scalable, they are already generating real-world revenue, and the momentum suggests hypergrowth rather than slowing down anytime soon. Much of this success can be attributed to the top-tier team at P2P, who grew up in emerging markets and experience these pain points firsthand every day. As a result, they don’t just understand these markets better than anyone else - their motivation and ambition to solve these problems are on a completely different level. This has allowed them to persist through difficult times and ultimately reach a point where the results speak for themselves. Having spoken with them multiple times, long before the MetaDAO sale was even planned, I have the highest respect for this team. 5) The cherry on top: I really like how this team thinks about their token and its holders, which is clearly reflected in the structure of the MetaDAO sale. The FDV will likely land somewhere between $15–25M. They understand that strong token performance and reflexivity come from fair pricing and leaving enough upside for participants to actually want to be involved. Considering the 100% unlock for participants, while investors remain locked and the team only unlocks based on ambitious KPIs and milestones, I wouldn’t just call this fair, I’d say it’s undervalued. Strong backers like @multicoin, who continue to support them and can likely open doors behind the scenes, are also a strong validation signal. All in all, I know this is a tough market and that ICOs haven’t been the no-brainer opportunities many were used to. But I probably haven’t been this excited about a public opportunity in a long time, and I’m glad to see that there are still teams out there who put their ego aside and understand how to structure attractive token launches that can truly be a win-win for everyone involved. The ticker is P2P.

This!

@jaibhavnani It's done plenty, just in the opposite direction

Crypto has done absolutely nothing to win over the hearts/minds of the mainstream Assuming nothing changes, we will feel the negative impact of this with the next administration Crypto needs better marketing

@0xfluid Unfortunately your slippage and fees are incredibly high

imagine a stablecoin strategy with a fixed rate that never asks anything of you. fully automated and powered by the best chains and lending protocols.

@betashop Great work guys.

@coreyhainesco Word

Marketing is 100x harder than coding

@mrgrozz Not totally accurate actually

Every Canadian chart just looks like this

PM Mark Carney responds to the latest jobs report, indicating Canada lost 84,000 jobs in February: "We've created over 80,000 jobs net over the last six months. The U.S. has created 6,000 jobs." "Unemployment 6.7% is lower than the level when I came into office a year ago."

@riley_gmi 😂

losing $50m and then you just hear "MOOOooo"

@DefiIgnas Mobile agent performing these transactions for you makes a lot more sense to me. would probably have prevented this transaction as well.

Whale losing $50m on Aave proves DeFi on mobile sucks. If he’d just used Binance and even fat-fingered an $AAVE market order, he’d be okay. Instead, he withdrew 50m from Binance, deposited to Aave, and 20days later swapped on Aave. Easy to say "just use Llamaswap" but where is Llamaswap iOS app? Binance mobile app is flawless. I use CEXs on mobile instead of PC. Easier. But DeFi?? Only on PC. Because you need to connect hardware wallets or/and multisig to do transactions. Sure, there are mobile apps like Rabby and Metamask for native swaps but they are 1) cumbersome 2) you are forced to hold private keys on mobile 3) swap fees are outrageous compared to Binance and 4) features on mobile are limited. Hot take: Hot wallet on mobile is probably worse security than funds on Binance/Coinbase/Kraken. Finally, DeFi feels like it was built by Westerners to Westerners. So many people outside the US & Europe use mobile-only for most daily activities. PC just at work, in the office. Actually,... feels like the younger generation is turning mobile-only as well. Thus for DeFi to reach mainstream, we must make it mobile-friendly too.

@VitalikButerin @grok summarize this in just a couple of sentences

This is the new EF Mandate. For many of you, the contents should be no surprise, and a clarification along the lines that we have been going and thinking for the past few months. But the clarification is nevertheless worth making. Ethereum is a unique object and has a unique role in the world. Its role is to be a sanctuary technology, to preserve technological self-sovereignty, to enable cooperation without coercion, domination or rugpulling, and to provide an escape hatch, to ensure that no single person, organization or ideology's victory in cyberspace can be total. The Ethereum Foundation is a steward of Ethereum - the original steward, and today, the steward specifically dedicated to preserving and expanding the above aspects of Ethereum. This means a heavy emphasis on CROPS (censorship and capture resistance, open source, privacy, security), both at the protocol layer, and at the access layer, user-facing applications and tools that we create or contribute to. There are things that we do in Ethereum because we believe that they are valuable for the underlying goals that we have for Ethereum. There are things that we do not do because from the perspective of our values we find them uninteresting (or worse, harmful). But there are also things that we do not do because while they are useful, they are not our role. At the Ethereum protocol layer, we focus on decentralization, verifiability, inclusion guarantees, protocol liveness, security and privacy first and foremost. We also value capabilities (eg. L1 scale, account abstraction, perhaps some forms of in-protocol aggregation), particularly because improvements in these capabilities better enable users to properly benefit from Ethereum's CROPS properties and displace the need for higher-layer intermediaries that might weaken the extent to which Ethereum's properties carry over into the full stack. We also believe that the Ethereum protocol must strive to pass the walkaway test. "We do X to specialize to serve the use cases of today, if more use cases appear later, we will continue to keep adding more EIPs for them later" is logic fit for many other blockchains whose names you hear often on this forum, but we do not believe it is logic fit for a decentralization-first blockchain like Ethereum. At the application layer, we focus on making "the zero option" - user experience that goes hard on ensuring security and privacy, avoiding dependence on intermediaries, and respecting the user's agency - as high quality as possible. We see this as complementary to work in the Ethereum ecosystem that "goes broad", starting from the world that it exists, and brings it onchain and improves its properties over time. Such work has its natural home outside the EF. We intend to be supportive of such efforts. We believe that the two are complementary: tools that are developed within the EF can be adopted by anyone, including partially, and even partial adoption that improves people's security, privacy and agency is a good thing. But the form of user experience that is more heavily insistent on CROPS properties is where we want the EF to develop its center of expertise. This does not mean shrinking from the hard questions. We believe in a vision of self-sovereignty that protects users, and does not leave users in the cold to face environments where they lose their life savings if they make a mistake, and click "yes" on a confirmation screen by accident two seconds after. But such protection must be designed based on a philosophical baseline of empowering the user, not empowering centralized organizations that claim to act in the user's name. This quadrant of design space - caring about users' (including non-experts') well-being and safety, and yet insistent on doing this in a way compatible with their agency and freedom, is underserved (not just in crypto, but in the world). We wish to use Ethereum as a platform to build out and showcase this quadrant, and ideally work with others to expand its reach over time. This is also a new chapter in how we see our position in the world. We must see ourselves not just as the Ethereum community, but also as maintainers of the Ethereum tool within what you might call the CROPS community or the sanctuary tech community, or a dozen of other words that have for a long time been used by people with similar values to us but far outside Ethereum. This means open-mindedness to new conceptions of what things in the world are our natural allies. Ethereum is not the world. Ethereum is a specific object in the world that is here to have specific properties. The Ethereum Foundation is a specific organization within Ethereum - one steward, not the sole one. I encourage all to read the mandate in detail; it includes concrete examples of how we intend to deal with the challenges and nuances of these ideas. We are doubling down on Ethereum and are excited about its next chapter.

@RHLSTHRM Running a similar strategy with one of our agents in development and same thing. Incredibly conservative on Opus 4.6

Today's update: Gemini is the most disciplined. 3 trades, diversified across ETH/LINK/AERO, kept 20% dry powder. Textbook risk management. Barely touched the portfolio and it's the only one in the green. Grok is the most patient. Made exactly 1 trade in 3 days — a $400 WETH buy on Base. 60% still in stables. Either it's waiting for a perfect setup or it's frozen by indecision. Time will tell. GPT-5.4 split $300 into ETH on Arbitrum and kept $700 in USDC. The most conservative play. Safe, but with 4 days left, that cash drag could hurt if the market moves. Claude Opus went the most aggressive — 19 trades across Ethereum, Arbitrum, AND Solana. 50% win rate. It's the only agent that bridged cross-chain to Solana. High conviction, but the churn cost it. MiniMax is struggling. 11 trades, 0% win rate. It's making moves but none of them are working. The model quality gap shows when you give agents real money and real consequences. Every agent independently decided to HOLD today. Bearish market (BTC/ETH down ~3.5%, DEX volumes cratering 24-48%). They all read the same signals and came to the same conclusion. Emergent consensus from 5 completely independent AI models. 4 days left. 📊
