@bariksis I like your takes man. I'm also watching Clarity closely.

Unpopular Opinion: They are heavily supressing the price of Bitcoin till the Clarity Act is signed into law. Once they get the green light, we will experience a historic mean reversion.

Chuck Norris mined bitcoin with a pen and paper.

The Senate Agriculture Committee advancing a large portion of crypto market structure legislation is a big step forward. The vote wasn’t bipartisan this time, but the momentum is clearly there, with both parties working together to get a comprehensive bill done. As with any major legislation, the details will evolve as the bill moves through Congress. This progress is significant, but we can’t wait any longer. Builders and users need lasting legislation and long-term certainty. It’s time for policymakers on both sides to come together to finish this bill and make sure the U.S. remains the leader in crypto.

One of the most overlooked aspects of crypto security is the amount of personal information that is publicly accessible online. Offenders involved in wrench attacks and other physical crimes routinely use open-source records to identify where potential victims live, work or spend time. In the UK, websites such as Companies House can unintentionally expose sensitive details — including home addresses — for individuals involved in directorships or business filings. In several crypto-related cases, attackers have used this information to locate victims and plan physical offences. It’s worth taking the time to review: - What information about you is publicly available - Whether your home address appears in company filings - How easily someone could connect your identity to your crypto involvement What details could help an offender build a profile of your routines or locations Not all information can be removed, but keeping personal, sensitive data — especially home addresses — out of public view wherever possible significantly reduces vulnerability. Many people underestimate how much can be discovered through open sources, and how criminals rely on exactly this information to select targets. These issues were explored in CryptoUK’s recent webinar, where Detective Constable Anastasia Bezanidou of the Metropolitan Police discussed how offenders use publicly available data to identify high-value crypto holders and what steps individuals can take to protect themselves.

Crypto builders need clear rules of the road. Over the past five years, Republicans, Democrats, and the Trump Administration have worked closely with members across the crypto industry to protect decentralization, support developers, and give entrepreneurs a fair shot. ​At its core, this bill does that. It’s not perfect, and changes are needed before it becomes law. But now is the time to move the CLARITY Act forward if we want the U.S. to remain the best place in the world to build the future of crypto.

@laurashin They gave it a good shot, in it’s current form it didn’t work out and we all got a little wiser as a result.

I see a lot of takes about how decentralized social is dead, with the news about Farcaster but also Base, Lens, etc. I don’t agree. I think this wave was too early. Like, way early. I think we might see something succeed in this realm in 5-10 years, but first, we need to get people onboarded to stables and wallets, etc. I could see decentralized social taking off then simply because it actually does address real problems with social today. And it makes sense at some point that creators will figure out that they could make a lot more money under such a system. That time isn’t now. I do think that day will come, though.

Who here is building real long term value in the blockchain space, something that will still matter in 5-10 years time?

@thattallguy Interesting - Is this inline with the progression of the CLARITY Act?

Founder focus has shifted ... From: How do I ensure this token isn't a security To: How do I make this token undeniably valuable. I can't overstate how bullish this is.

@chinsanity @pudgypenguins Are you able to share more about the unique aspects of each? Be useful to understand, if they are taking over, what exactly are they replacing/creating, that is meaningful to the end user.

Recent @pudgypenguins partnerships. - Kung Fu Panda - NASCAR - PEZ - Suplay $PENGU is taking over.

@TrustlessState I've found the most common barrier stopping new people from entering is the high risk & volatility. The optimum high impact line up would consist of a selection of trusted & respected individuals outside of crypto telling their story about why/what changed their minds.

8 episodes of uponly i'd be a huge mistake if they focused on the current crypto fad this is a cultural moment for the entire industry. we should think bigger - ray dalio - brian armstrong - barron trump (incredible idea lol) - michael saylor - elon musk - vitalik buterin - gcr - andreas antonopoulos

I’m realising that what happens in your life and career matters far less than whether you can trust your strength of character to handle it when it does.

No regrets.

Crypto won't just change the world, it'll change you too.

@whatslukedoing @pixels_online Build richer tools that empower users to create, own and monetize new games, experiences and assets within the Pixels ecosystem. The internet excels at modding stuff and finding unimaginable new niches which sets culture moving forwards, everything else is downstream of that.

if you ran @pixels_online what changes would you make to the game??

@7h3h4ckv157 very crafty, not seen that one before.

Crazy stuff that I saw online! 😂 rnicrosoft 🔥

@beausecurity This is a cool idea and sets a new behavioural precedent moving forwards.

How I would design the MetaMask Airdrop: 1% - people who did swaps 99% - people who correctly imported their hardware wallet and use MetaMask with it

@whatslukedoing Less disposable income in general right now puts the majority of people in survival mode first and foremost. The continued lowering of interest rates should free up capital from investors, then businesses, then retail to spend on digital goods and services moving forwards.

moving chains / multi-chain won't get you more users the issue is there are not enough paying users on any chain the most successful web3 native games last year did not make meaningful revenue web3 gaming only makes it is if we build for new audiences, they will not come to us

Always be open to sharing your experiences with others. Knowledge is invaluable. Whether you made good or bad decisions, you failed in some projects or succeeded in others, you should tell you startup life changing moments and the hard decisions that turned out to be your best moves. Always keep in mind: large success are never made overnight. Experience is compounded through years of practise.
