Unfortunately, it’s not rising; it’s plateauing :(
It’s not “time to build,” it’s “time to urgently find the market fit.”

I haven't used a search engine in 2024. My searches are 100% through chats with generative AI.
The last time I changed my habits this quickly was with the rise of mobile internet.
You?
Founder Mode starts with spending less than 10 minutes a day on X reading nonsense.
I’m already done for today :)
Who attended Surfin’ Bitcoin in Biarritz?? How was it?
Vigier Excalibur Thirteen in gold. Should I buy it??

(I own 6 Vigier already…. I’m obsessed :))
0.0012% is what Farcaster represents compared to Meta in terms of DAU (daily active users).
How do we truly scale?
What do we know about Pavel Durov and his motivations? Not much, apart from his photos on Instagram. And that's the whole problem with private and centralized platforms:

- No one knows how Telegram works or who can read the messages (unless you use "secret chat," which isn’t available for Group Chats; it’s not end-to-end (e2e) encryption).
- No one knows the reality of the business behind Telegram or the extent of Telegram's collaboration with states (the company is based in Dubai, don't try to convince me it isn't under its influence…).
- No one really knows what motivated the arrest of its founder.

But everyone has their own comment…

The only conclusion I draw from this: communication tools that are massively used should not be private, their technology should be open, and their governance should not be in the hands of a small group of people whose true motivations we will never know.

Go open source and go decentralized!
If it can give some ideas for ethcc25, this was in Cannes last night…
Summer AirDrop is coming
This is not a pro-Trump post; it's a pro-Bitcoin one :)

Yesterday, Trump gave a pro-Bitcoin speech, linking the topic to individual sovereignty and the competitiveness of the United States. Although his conviction about the technology and its applications may be limited, this marks a major turning point for the sector: cryptocurrency enthusiasts have become numerous enough (about 12% of the population in the U.S., a similar proportion to that in France according to the latest KPMG study) to constitute an electoral base to woo and form a significant part of a political platform.

This naturally leads to more or less realistic and interesting political proposals, but they all point towards the development of the sector. The days when Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies were unanimously rejected by the establishment seem to be over.

Bitcoin Won.
I hope so!

Forget the bear market.
Summer is the true "time to build."
Too much centralization is dangerous for democracy, your privacy, and also… your commute.
