would have like to have been above the line, but i’m a scorpio so i’ll take it.

let’s call chaotic neutral a W for sparkz.

sharing this for @nedryerson and @marypat since they aren’t active here.

this is a huge W for digital art and i’m so damn proud of and happy for them.

can’t wait to get to NY to see the gallery in person. @burrrrrberry meet me there?!

one of the benefits of still being on X is you get to harass @toadyhawk.eth in two places at once.

today we're getting our first preview of what's to come from RekTech, the squid games of crypto.

they're teasing their upcoming TGE in Ansem's game today.

$DREAM is coming. and the more XP you have, the more DREAM you get. they have partnerships with Pudgies, Ansem, Zeneca, EasyEats and they're launching RekTech as a service and have collabs coming up with some of the biggest brands out there.

a bunch of you won passes and OG spots from me here. if you minted, go get your XP. if you haven't minted, tokens are available on secondary. you can check how much XP each one has on magic eden.

linking to the article i wrote to refresh your memory ;)

just swapped my farcaster rewards for $DRB thanks to DWR 🙌
what farcaster actually is ser? can you explain in 1 sentence so that it doesn't take much of our time

one unfortunate thing that happened tonight (and i know this b/c it almost happened to me) is that anyone who minted in frame on farcaster was instructed to 'cast' your alliances, while anyone minting on the site was directed to 'tweet' their alliances.

but only the ppl who tweeted were afforded immunity.

as a result, some good folks caught some strays tonight.

feels icky and not very farcaster aligned 😔
It's a big week for crypto gaming.

Obvs Crypto: The Game launched today. Kudos to @dylanabruscato and an early congratulations to the 🐬 Aqua Tribe 🐬

Also, RekTech kicked off Game 1 of S1 today in partnership with Ansem. Prizes include a Rolex, Charizards, BTC, SOL and NFTs.

You all know I've been a big fan of what RekTech's building and although they launched in the midst of a chaotic market, I'm still very bullish on this team. If you minted ... get that XP folks.

Another team I'm big on is the @farcade bros @chuckstock & @blackstock, who launched early access to its AI game studio this weekend.

Me and fellow non-dev @burrrrrberry have joined forces on Team Struggle to channel our vibe-coding energy into building some new Farcade games that you will all hopefully be playing soon.

See you all in the trenches, fellow gamers.
idk what everyone is talking about. twitter is working just fine …

we're 2 hours in and i already can't wait for the @boysclub rehash of today's crypto the game shenanigans.
6 am start time for CTG is a struggle. the sun doesn’t even rise here until 6:45 this time of year.

might need to start drinking coffee again.
i know we want to attract more users to FC but if you’re just gonna copy pasta your X content then i really don’t need to follow you on both apps do i?
hawaii doesn’t do daylight savings so we’re now 6 hrs behind ET instead of 5.

which means i get to wake up even *earlier* to play crypto the game for the next 10 days.

send luck. and maybe some uppers 😵‍💫
wow Home feed actually hits harder than Following for some reason.

switching back for now.
@robin your app is broken 😝

i was in downtown sarasota for a week and did not see a single homeless person.

i don’t think i’ve ever been to any city in the world where i can say the same.

didn’t see a single cop either.

did see a half dozen McLarens and a whole lotta LV luggage tho.
see you on the island.

minted these fun warpsters by @ilustradora.eth and they made me feel happy.

i miss NFTs, thanks for bringing some joy to the tl. these are great =)

and here i thought this was gonna be close. either too much west coast bias or people chasing nostalgia over skill.

don't get me wrong, i love tupac. masterful storyteller, passionate, and charismatic af. but biggie owns the craft. slicker flow, technical precision, lyrical genius.

this loss stings 😔

i bought crypto on a CEX long before i was actually red pilled. basic BTC, ETH, and yes - ADA buys.

years later, a friend kept trying to convince me to “mint some apes” but i couldn’t wrap my head around paying ‘hundreds’ of dollars for monkey jpegs.

but i did start self educating myself and fell way down the rabbit hole.

i didn’t have anyone to hold my hand, i learned everything the hard way.

- paid $80 in gas and waited 2 days to bridge $100 from ETH to Polygon
- lost gas war after gas war until i finally learned to adjust manually
- returned a ledger after realizing you never buy one from a 3rd party

the list goes on and on.

i began working FT in crypto in 2022 as the head of growth & ops for Overpriced JPEGs and have since worked with a variety of crypto teams and builders.

i worked at a creative agency serving crypto clients alongside @kagami and that’s how i know he’s best in class at UX/UI feedback.

great follow if you’re looking for honest, nuanced product takes 👇🏾
bankr got grok to drop a clanker.

and we wonder why we struggle to onboard the masses.
We're so back. (are we?!)
either way …
I'm playing /crypto-the-game
See you on the Island.
6 years ago i was super early to an easy-to-farm mobile app that you logged into and clicked daily for reward points.

i stopped after some redditors said it was a waste of time and there was no token incoming. but not before onboarding a few of my closest friends and fam for those sweet referral points.

fast forward to today, and not only did Pi drop their token, but it's currently sitting just outside the Top 10 coins by market cap ... ranked #11 ahead of chainlink and hedera.

the funniest part is not that i maybe missed out on generational wealth (again), but that some of my normie referrals actually kept on clicking.

i'm hoping it's a big W for them and that althought it's their first exposure to crypto, it won't be their last.
i’ll take “who are the last two people on earth i’d ever wanna be trapped on an island with” for $5000

💭 only the real ones know ...
Despite selecting Rainbow as my preferred wallet, my degen tips this month defaulted to my Warplet.

This was the very thing I was trying to prevent when choosing my preferred.

@v @horsefacts.eth @jacek how do I ensure this doesn’t happen again?
who here is playing Crypto the Game?
after realizing last year that the farcaster events were kinda my faves, i decided to skip the majority of eth denver this year and instead flew in specifically to hit up just the GMfc and main fc parties.

at the risk of getting spam-labeled for tagging too many folks, here’s a (pretty long) 🧵of my highlights & takeaways.

i was replying to someone just now and tried to include a link to a cast on Farcaster but X blocked the tweet.

i couldn’t figure out what was happening, it was the first time i’ve ever seen this message.

then i removed the link to the cast and the reply went through with ease.

you must be doing something right @dwr.eth

i read the linked article 4 years ago and have since been dying to try culver’s to see for myself if it is in fact better than in-n-out.

today was finally that day.

to level set, i am not an I-n-O maxi. i think the fries are meh and the burgers are okay. that said, like most hawaii ppl, i will eat there on occasion when on the west coast for nostalgia sake.

and … in all honesty, i don’t see how anyone in their right mind could objectively say that I-n-O is better than culver’s.

culver’s burgers are juicier, the buns are better, and you can get 3 different types of cheeses (hello cheddar!)

the menu is longer, their fries are cooked to perfection, and they make frozen custard (which although it’s not really my thing, i tried anyway just to be fair). to my knowledge, I-n-O doesn’t do dessert at all.

sorry west coasters, but this is a no-brainer in my book, just look at the picture.

we just watched SpaceX launch 21 starlink satellites live from our balcony.

I didn’t beat chuckstock, but i did come pretty close… and since he’s technically disqualified, I came in first anyway and won the chromatic 😎

✨ Life Update ✨

I had a sweet gig lined up working on govt contracts, but since federal agencies are no longer a thing, it fell through 😔

Since that’s not happening:

1) I booked a last minute trip to ETH Denver
2) I’m available for new roles + fractional work

If you’re in Denver, I’ll be at the GM Farcaster & main Farcaster events and can't wait to see ya!

If not, I’d still love to chat. Some of my most treasured friendships in the space began with a 15 minute call.

Dropping a link below, but the TLDR is I can do most things non-technical. More specifically, I’ve been working in crypto for the last 3 years in roles spanining growth & ops to comms & marketing, with a lot of strategy, partnerships, research & content sprinkled in.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about PocketPears … it's my og username. My fave hand was low suited connectors, but that was just too long. I ran 'pocket pairs' by my sister and she said "oh, like the fruit?"

what are the best farcaster clients with the following features (in order of importance):

1) reverse chronological feed that displays casts from *everyone* i follow

2) scheduled casting

3) lists

looking for an alternative to supercast as a back up to warpcast.
@uniswap just dropped a game changer 🤯

turn your crypto into cash in seconds.

off-ramp from USDC to fiat via your bank account.

robinhood, moonpay, and transaction under the hood. LFG
i will be taking no further questions at this time.
