in case i’m not the only one:
this year humbled me to my core
lots of loss and lessons learned and mistakes and challenges far out of my control
smiled through (most of) it all and cherished all that i could because the only way out is through
but good riddance i’m excited for 2025

happy winter solstice from our morning wintry walk around town, love waking up to snow
feedback to @tinylabs + any other AI token accounts:
-QUALITY >>> QUANTITY
-bots (quote) casting with obvious chatGPT slop is anti-growth; users will ignore them or mark as spam so the bots distribution will go to zero
-chatGPT slop about a token is a negative signal bc it seems botted; users won’t buy the token

this year i hosted Topics of Controversy dinners where people (now friends) would research + discuss taboo topics in good faith, 10/10
i’d love to do monthly URL version of this for crypto / tech topics next year
no more than 8 people at a time, private, Chatham House rules
anybody interested? /clubted gets prio

remember when i made a v1 frame where you had to click out to an audio file, press play, return to the frame, then click next to the sound of a beep just so you could see GIFs of me waving and then watch the iconic “Think Different” apple ad entirely in GIFs
v2 frames are a million times better

observation: @adam-xyz asks for interface on solana, someone else in a gc asks "is there a zerion but for solana"
thoughts:
1. market validation for interface (copy/trade, social trading) and zerion (insanely comprehensive assets/history)
2. are we unaware about solana apps or do they not exist? v dif implications

farcaster is the cathedral
just ordered this and realized i have a hat problem. sampling from my collection (in no order):
farcaster fridays hat, the boring company hat, perplexity's "know it all" hat, coinbase's penny hat, sweetgreen's salad! hat, boysclub.eth. would probs kill for spacex, anduril, vintage apple hats.
what else is missing?

observation: men in NYC much better at maintaining eye contact walking down the street than men in LA
from steve jobs at the 1984 international design conference, from the book “make something wonderful”
i believe we’re at a similar place today with crypto
and while we may have a few cult personality founders, none of them match steve’s definite optimism, appreciation for great design or capacity to inspire

new first date question: do you pay more for streaming services or AI subscriptions?
wait so does this mean it’s time to post all the thirst traps we’ve been hiding?
cheeky little rebrand of “creator fund” into a “new weekly game”

i haven't yet dug deeply into DeSci (i will), but here are some high-level thoughts from my experience launching a drug development fund* that was very hands-on with academic labs:
1. proving a hypothesis in the lab (research) =/= finding product-market fit (startup). they shouldn't be funded as if they are the same. this is not exclusive to DeSci; VCs who funded AI researchers will learn this quickly in the coming years. note PMF for biopharma startups looks different than for traditional tech startups.
2. most scientists (like most people) aren't good entrepreneurs. good science =/= good business (market demand, scalable operations, strong marketing). DAOs can introduce more management and inefficiencies, not more expertise, and tokenized IP introduces more legal/reg complexity
i don't yet see how DeSci, esp DeSci tokens, solves either of these problems
*the fund raised $250M+, funded 200+ lab discoveries, launched 35+ companies, 20+ medicines in clinical trials, and 15 licensed to pharma companies

i think about this study a lot
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i was listening to an old huberman episode and
if you're doing zyn regularly, your productivity may be up but your skin will be down (bad)*
its vasoconstrictive so it accelerates aging, it breaks down collagen, and promotes oxidative stress
hello zyn to retinoid pipeline

a shot from brasil. going to start putting my iphone "photography" onchain using @rodeodotclub and @zora
any other platforms i should try out? any suggestions for how best to use them?
ps feature request: would love to create albums / collections of certain photos (eg pinterest boards or ig "highlights")

wait so the “FC is too centralized” team also happens to be the “bridges can only deposit assets on our protocol, not another” team which is also the “we’ll sponsor you, but you can’t build on WC” team that is also the “we have our own wallet, lending, stablecoin and social network” team? no? yes?
who remembers moxie reply guys
Is there a place for a cute dog photo?
