Dread it. Run from it. Decentralized scaling arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say...I am. arxiv.org/abs/1904.06441
respectfully I think they should coin this moment instead 🤜 🫲
I beta tested your app and you did not give me seven figures in your company’s equity. For my next act, I will spend 8 hours in the Discord threatening to kill myself.
Lotus is now live on Mainnet Beta 🪷 33% lower inflation and native TIA interop via Hyperlane are now live.
I can’t believe Richard Heart had the incredible foresight to launch a Top 5 Strategic ETH Reserve 4 years ago while the Bankless guys cried on stream about his (then misunderstood) unscrupulous behavior

Everyone's takeaway from the Tea app disaster should be that applications must be legally prevented from accepting or storing id data
🚨JUST IN: IRS Special Agent George, tasked with tracing the Government's first witness' funds to Tornado Cash, testifies that he does not know what crypto[.]com is, doesn't know the difference between ERC-20 and ETH
The Celestia Foundation has worked with Polychain Capital to assign Polychain’s entire remaining TIA holdings to new investors. This month, the Foundation purchased 43,451,616.09 TIA from Polychain Capital for $62.5m. Polychain will shortly be undelegating their entire staked…
the amount absolutely cursed tech debt we had to plow through in this release was ungodly. at times, I truly believed computers were a mistake. it took so damn long we also finished 95% of v5 as well, which focuses on ~20x'ing the throughput, and preparing us the next 2x after…
Lotus upgrade confirmed for next Tuesday, July 29th 🪷 Massive upgrade to TIA with long awaited changes like reduced inflation, locked staking rewards, and expands TIA's accessibility via Hyperlane bridging Shiplestia 🚢🚢🚢
I'm not unprofitable I'm just farming the hyperliquid airdrop
I'm never investing into a liquid crypto fund again. How the fuck am I down 10M through the first half of the year. 🤯🤯

Not sure what there is to call out? We've been complaining about low float high fdv for years and we finally have a launch with large float with all retail and institutional buyers given equal opportunity to enter on the same terms This is just what real price discovery looks…
Very interesting details shared by Garry: - Windsurf had ~250 employees - ~55 eng, ~185 sales - Hired ~150 ppl (mostly sales) the last 12 months (likely all enterprise sales) - ~40 core engineers went to Google Reads like Google only wanted (most of the) eng team, and no sales
Varun Mohan and the team at Windsurf built something great. What I heard is every founding engineer (over 40 of them) cleared 7 figures. The remaining org of 200 was only 15 engineers who had worked there less than a year, the rest were sales and ops, and even then they left…
crypto people every time we're a few months into a bull run
me and the boys in the Discord after depositing $10 across 10 wallets and not getting a 6 figure airdrop
i am putting all of my eggs in one basket and using the basket as collateral to buy more eggs
Linus used to speak to engineers in 2012 the way I speak to LLMs now.
HYPE did well with a huge airdrop & no funds raised PUMP is doing well with no airdrop & a huge ICO CT vastly over-indexed on the importance of Hyperliquid’s airdrop to its success Just build great products people will pay for Both do that - that’s the simple takeaway
