Spritz has a new look! This reflects our brand values of freedom, connection, and performance. Check us out and let me know what you think!!
Really proud to bring more onchain transparency to everything we're doing at Spritz!

Confirmed for me at #permissionless, most people in crypto I think are walking back the narrative that trump is 100% good for crypto and harris 100% bad. smart money thinks it's relatively neutral long term for either, but probably short term slightly more bullish if trump.

Crypto is global, and it's here to stay. and the politics in congress and now with harris (not biden) have shifted a lot, so it's much more of a bipartisan issue now.

This is a good thing!
I have been thinking this same questions for years and that's why we built spritz! Also... "why do I need to maintain this damn checking account at 0% interest..." 🤔
What an amazing user experience improvement adding @unstoppable 🤩
We launched the smoothest, fastest, best service for getting the most from your crypto in real life!
PSA: If you're looking to do KYT on web3 wallets and transactions, https://www.merklescience.com/ has been a great pick for us as a smaller startup -- there's very little lock in and reasonable pricing. DM if you'd like an intro.
This is exactly what we're building at @spritz . Use all your onchain assets offchain -- everyday, everywhere. #usecrypto🍹

And we natively support @base !
💯 It's challenging for chains to be decentralized (run as DAOs) and coordinate their assistance to builders, grants, conferences, etc. Can be messy at worst, beautiful when it works. @base and @0xpolygon do this well. Who else?
Unincorporated non-profits are popular with crypto investors, both retail and profession. This is an important bill that clarifies a lot of uncertainty. Looking forward to this setting an example for more jurisdictions soon!
As an investor or trader, focus less on timing than on smart diversification. Take profits throughout a run up so that you have dry powder to:
- 🚚 back the truck up when there's a pullback
- 🚀 jump on the next meme coin
- 🏠 pay your bills
Hard to predict, but ATH is a great time to take a little profit! Put a little of those gains into a stablecoin yield means that you'll have *guaranteed* income regardless of where the cycle takes us! https://de.fi/explore/cat/stablecoin
Crypto is global-first. It transcends any country, nation, or state. And technology is everywhere all at once. Make everyone feel welcome! 🇮🇳 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇧🇷 🇯🇵 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇷🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇹🇷 🇸🇪 🇨🇭 🇨🇳 🇦🇷 🇸🇦 🇲🇽 🇰🇷
Some shots aren't on goal, but it's important to just keep shooting, and just keep practicing. Collect user feedback, learn about *where* is the crypto user today, right now. Keep building. Be nimble.
They are reading headlines and they are curious. But more than just price action, we need news stories showing people actually #usecrypto

Like for gasoline (attaches corny DALL-E image 😉)
The ability to create decentralized applets for users to interact with the blockchain, and embed these in user-friendly ways, is game changing!!!
Funding rates continue to constrain leverage -- a healthy thing! Let your winners run, but don't get too greedy. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/03/06/crypto-funding-rates-reset-after-bitcoins-sharp-pullback-from-69k
Thankfully we're making rapid progress on rollups and sharding to address this. Props to /ethereum community, @vitalik.eth for anticipating this so early. https://warpcast.com/vitalik.eth/0x176f9f34
🍹Cheer! Not a bad time to take a few profits -- impossible to call the top!
This would be hilarious except that the SEC's criminal ambiguity is causing real harm to real people -- consumers get no guidance on what they need to report; builders get no guidance on what they can build. Everybody loses. Needs to change!!
These millions of new users are looking for smooth UX, simple interfaces, and most of all, ways to #usecrypto in their everyday lives. Crypto wants to -- NEEDs to -- be embedded in everything we do day to day.
Crypto will soon be part of everyone's everyday life.

Rising prices attract lots of new, curious users. Before long they'll be looking to #usecrypto for more than just trading.
Took some profits on my dogwifhat and bought an Ooni! 🍕 #usecrypto
