Gracias, España, por la salvación! ⚽🇪🇸🇪🇺

@chooserich great news, congrats 🎉

Update: NO CANCER VISIBLE!! I still have treatment for the coming months BUT this is literally the best outcome you can have!

@0xAllen_ let's goooooo

The last time Cobie demanded to takeover an account (Hashmasks) we immediately had a bull market.

@jessepollak tl;dr @cobie is building base app into a banking app. gl

lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months. first off - in case it’s not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face. I spent 2024 and 2025 making a two pronged bet to bring base to the world: (1) builders would unlock the next wave of crypto adoption; (2) adoption would be driven by new onchain-native social experiences - creators, content, messaging. imo we made the right bet on builders, but obviously the wrong bet on social. builders did drive the next wave of crypto adoption - prediction markets, perpetuals, stablecoins - but social was not at the center of it. in fact, the entire social side of the market that many of us had been building towards - farcaster, zora, miniapps, and yes, creator coins - disintegrated completely. I was wrong - whether it was timing wrong (is $ansem a creator coin?) or fully wrong, only time will tell, but regardless, i was definitively wrong. the collateral damage was pretty bad! and this year has been an exercise in eating shit. we realized how our focus on social had meant that base had fallen behind in key areas that were now increasingly critical - we had perps (shoutout avantis!) and prediction markets (shoutout limitless!), but both were well behind scaled competitors. and we had a lot of room to improve in unlocking base as a platform for tokenization and payments that really worked for enterprises. people lost confidence, and CT spectators reminded me weekly of all of my mistakes as often as they could. it felt bad man, still feels bad. but if there’s one thing i’ve learned from the last decade of building in this space, it’s that when things feel the worst, the best thing to do is just put your head down and build. so that’s what i’m doing. I refocused my time and attention back to the chain away from the app, started writing code again, shipped a bunch of stuff (azul, beryl, b20, privacy, ledgers) and questioned a bunch of my assumptions: does crypto need social to grow? does base need an app? can base be bigger than coinbase? I thought for a long time that social was the only thing that could drive the sort of viral growth to get crypto to a billion people. unsurprisingly, I now believe that’s wrong. It’s clear that better money is more than enough - we are seeing this live with stablecoins, predictions, perpetuals, tokenization and i only expect it to accelerate. I am now focused on bringing a billion people onchain just by making global finance actually work. on the app, my focus is on building base into the blockchain for global finance. to that end, i’ve handed the base app back to the coinbase mothership, where my now good friend @cobie will be taking it from here to make it the best damn app for onchain you’ve ever seen, including expanding beyond the base ecosystem in ways that tbh i won’t love as the leader of base. it’s incredibly hard to grow a decentralized network inside of a big public corporation. and i feel like much of the discourse on CT over the last week is downstream of this. the following things can be true: (1) base (and i) love memes and (2) brian probably won’t ever bullpost memes on the tl (this activity is illegal once you’re over 40 years of age). it’s weird and we’re working through it as we continue to decentralize base, which has been our commitment from the beginning. we’re going to build base into the blockchain for global finance and do everything we can to be the place that the world’s money settles over the next century. we will surely have formidable competitors (welcome robinhood and stripe!) and people may abandon our cause, but we welcome the competition and believe it’s our duty to win the respect and commitment of those who rally to our banner.  in 2026, this concretely means three things: winning trading, payments, and agents.

the future is nigh 😎 also it can listen and talk at the same time 🤦🏼

@beaniemaxi 115 then back up

SpaceX probably recovers here and makes new highs shortly. You can't bet against Elon even if you hate his guts. He's the greatest salesman of all time. And that's what ultimately sells stocks. This company is literally a beef stew of all the most exciting investment narratives.

@AdamWeitsman @sergitosergito 🫡

Art Basel: There two exclusive Meebits sculptures available at Art Basel Shop this weekend in Basel Switzerland. Please go support Meebits and my brother @sergitosergito who is working so hard in this space !!!!!! In my opinion everyone in WEB3 should own a Meebit ! Some information that you probably could care less about 😂 but My first NFT ever was a Meebit !!!!

@KeyboardMonkey3 not people with money, new joiners who bought btc above 85k

No person with a meaningful amount of crypto is selling it to fund their SPACEX buys. Maybe the dumbest narrative I’ve ever heard. Yeah, ppl held crypto thru all this to dump it to buy the $1.5 trillion Spacex IPO. If you believe this, you’re a moron, there are infinite other spots to get liquidity for ppl with money.

@DonAlt are you going to?

IRL people contacting me telling me about them getting exposure to the SpaceX IPO and asking whether I've bought already or am going to Interesting stuff happening over here

I made it to LinkedIn

@gainzy222 anyone doing you dirty is literally what's best on ct right now

I fking hate AI

@chooserich good luck brother, you got this #fckcncr

Two weeks ago I shared that I got Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma ("cHL")... For those who may be unfortunate to end up in a similar place I wanted to share lessons from the wild rollercoaster of the past two weeks. Perhaps it might be a little bit cathartic as well ⬇️

What else would you do if your parents named you Lemonjello?
