YO I'M ON NETFLIX HOPEFULLY MORE TO COME HAHAHAHAHAHAH (That's a Solana hoodie)

@provideresearch Might bring it backkkk

@thebryanjun I miss the yt channel, great stuff on there

Content creation will never be replaced by AI I grew a Youtube channel to 30k subscribers and a TikTok account to 40k followers and my playbook won't be replaced by AI. Here's why: - I actually am not a "personality," meaning that people don't follow me because I'm good looking or because I'm talented, etc; they follow me for information - which makes you think, easily replaceable by AI (I thought so too) - but if anything, in the world of AI slop and automated information saturation, people actively seek out personalized curation - more importantly, they want guidance: people no longer want to seek just information, rather they seek opinions that match their own for affirmation or go against their own to fight (the latter is better engagement)  - and viewers, in both instances, prefer to engage with a real human being - which is why if anything, I'm doubling down on creators moving forward given that in a sea of information and content overload, viewers will seek real human output more than ever - so my advice for content is find a topic you enjoy or have a natural edge on, deliver it with an opinion, and be consistent. That's really it

@WSJ cc @travisk

Breaking: Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion for a new fund that would buy manufacturing companies and use AI to automate them wsj.com/tech/jeff-bezo…

@SlotWinX Only two possibilities: 1. L1s care about consumer apps and non-financial/speculative use cases of blockchain 2. They say do but they actually don't

@thebryanjun hes cooking with this angle tbh the onchain buzzwords need actual products

L1s have told us "mass adoption" and "consumer apps" for years. I haven't seen anything, have you? Instead of adding an onchain gimmick on an existing brand or paying people to jump from one defi protocol to the next, what if the next billion dollar brand for real people launched on blockchain? @DrinkliquidHQ

@0x_ZHUANG anyone can do it in my opinion, just consistency

@thebryanjun great work!

@jpegjamesdean @travisk huge tbh and much cooler name hahahhaah

@thebryanjun @travisk 🤝

so many ex-cloudkitchens employees, including myself, just got a huge branding opportunity to be ex-Atoms thanks @travisk

@provideresearch to be brutally honest, none

@thebryanjun Great post. Can you share what coins/projects are interesting right now?

@_KMCR_7 the perfect summary

@thebryanjun Because price are down. The End

We're going to let the public have a chance at partaking in @AnthropicAI's success before the IPO

With all due respect to Hasseeb, I completely disagree with this take. Chris was and is a mentor to me, I'm not pretending otherwise. But neither Chris nor Haseeb are builders in the category. I have spent the last year in the trenches trying to build non-speculative consumer crypto usecases. Ignore "non-financial". That's a useless umbrella. I care about non-speculative. Here's what I know with total clarity: Three years ago it was 100% impossible to ship a good consumer crypto experience. Not hard. Not early. Impossible. The wallet experience was complete and utter dogshit. Injected wallets are an unacceptable UX. Seed phrases, unacceptable. Blind signing, unacceptable. Bridging, unacceptable. Here's your onboarding experience for a consumer media flow: 1. Install a fox-faced browser extension 2. Write down a 24 word seed phrase and hide it under your fridge (btw now some romanian dude's gonna break int your house) 3. Select a chain if god willing you understand what that means 4. Go find a bridge (Wormhole, LayerZero, ...) if you guessed wrong 5. Sign hexadecimal strings with very scary error messages 6. "Transaction pending... would you like to increase your gas price" (wtf is gas? they'll say) Thats is before you even fund the thing. But I'm not done, on ramps were even worse. If you wanted to use some "web3 media" app, you had to open an exchange account. The UI looked like DraftKings for slop-maxxed decentralization jargon. Spin the wheel to get decentralized compute coin on Arbitrum or turbo DNS coin on Polkadot! Last cycle nonsense. Before you buy anything you need to go through a rigorous KYC process. SSN, address, Drivers License verification, transfer to your mobile device, liveness check on your face, transfer back, "a human in a remote country will check this asynchronously and we'll get back to you". Now we sign into Plaid, put our bank credentials into some random form on this new DraftKing exchange, now they can auto-draw down money. Perfect. Now god willing you've found UDSC and bought it on the right chain. You're ready to transfer out. You paste in your 40-character Hex address to the fox-head app. That'll be 24-48 hours before it arrives due to ACH fraud risk. Aaaand now you can use the web3 media app. And KYB on ramps for enterprises? Rectal inspection. I need not go deeper. Consumer apps are viral flywheels. If there's too much friction on the axle, the flywheel never spins. Crypto had superglue on the flywheel. So when we say "the market rejected consumer crypto," we should ask a basic question. Did we ever actually ship it in a form that normal people could evaluate. Finance worked because the users were willing to tolerate absurd friction. Traders will jump through flaming hoops when their perceived EV is +infinite (because they're a genius and have alpha or astrology signals or whatever). Media and other consumer activities do not get that tolerance budget. Now enough with the pessimism of the past. Let's fast forward to today (or next 3 mo). - Embedded wallets are real - OAuth style onboarding is real - Headless custody is real - In app onramps are real - Stablecoin onramps are real (this is a distinct thing and is critically important and I don't have time to explain in this post) - KYB capable providers are emerging Privy. Bridge. Stripe. Zerohash. Coinbases' new stack. This stuff is recent. Widely usable versions are maybe two years old. Broad developer adoption is even newer. For the first time you can do something like: - Sign in with email - Wallet created under the hood - Buy stablecoins inside the app - Transact instantly No exchange account, no raffle spinny wheels for decentralized slop, no fox icon, no seed phrase under your fridge. That stack did not exist in a usable form when most of the "consumer experiments" were run. After teh blood sweat and tears out of the L1 engineers, L2 engineers, the cryptographers, the wallet teams, the exchange teams, the compliance teams, and the onramp providers, we are finally getting something that resembles a sane consumer stack. We are just getting the grease. That does not mean consumer crypto is inevitable. It does mean we are only now in a position to run the experiment honestly. It's the best time to build in crypto, in the history of crypto. If it fails from here, with real UX and real onboarding and real distribution, then fine. I'll eat my shoe. Call it dead.

@inno_ox hahahah twas a joke

@thebryanjun i should move out, gotchu

@Cybercent I just think it's not too far fetched to say he was involved in some capacity

@thebryanjun only screenshots on X, already was stomach sick, haven’t went to the us gov site to search i saw one where there’s a BTC discussion with Joi Ito, imo the guy prepared himself in many areas to be able to have discussions with people on many themes to be able to bring them on

@Cybercent have you seen some of the files tho haha

@thebryanjun lmao, that guy was in a totally different business, but each cycle there's a new story, otherwise nobody would sell

@FinnBots hahahah my engagement is dead forsure, makes me care even less though

@thebryanjun I don’t think your post got the views it deserves This is masterclass trolling

@DegenGigaMan There's a wide array of reasons, many of which im not smart enough to explain but instability rising from further distrust forsure (which can be an argument for or against crypto)

@thebryanjun is that the reason why btc is dumping, because of the epstein file they released?
