did a friendly relay race with ~50 bikers+runners around Mt Tam yesterday. I can't believe I get to live in this incredible place.

chasing down wifi/ethernet issues at a house is endlessly annoying, especially when you combine multiple brands of equipment and anything custom.

perplexity has been super helpful in debugging.
sometimes I think about all the things that can be done atomically in a single ethereum transaction and get all fired up about the tech all over again.

Defi is Magical.
it should be easier to search for "hotels with squat racks"
Umm it’s going to be 90 degrees on Wednesday!

Pretty cool that you can get access to Argentinian and Brazilian government yield rates in defi with @numunecosystem on /base
did Bloomberg Crypto & McKinsey just pitch the @reserve protocol...? 🤔

quietly hitting new ATH and 1/4 billion in TVL
without looking, i'm guessing this is the lowest LTV of any lending market in /defi
Just got $5 for being a top caster. First creator income ever.

Next stop Mr Beast minus the junk food. I’ll instead teach the world’s children about monetary policy and permissionless financial systems and it’ll be glorious.
USD3 pools and their high base yields keep doing their thing.
the more bank regulations, the more bank failures.

let's get the government out of the way and let defi protocols compete for users.

ultimately, when selling money as a product, "safety" is the biggest value prop.

the market will eventually make its way towards safety.
Free-banking creates better money.

Defi is the purest form of free-banking.

Defi is going to be the financial backend of the future.
Will L2 withdrawal times approach 0?

Without this, defi will forever have a massive liquidity splinter issue that means:
- worse UX for everyone ("which chain can i do this on")
- higher slippage for *every single trade*
- challenges for cross-chain assets to maintain pricing parity.
Come help build the future of money in SF 🫡
anyone have a market map of which debit/credit cards that spend from crypto are available in which parts of the world?

curious if any others than @coinbase Debit card is available in US and also want to see the map more broadly.
are you smart and interested in defi? looking to join a team with an office in SF? care about solving inflation and expanding access to stable currency around the world?

Gm. Gas at 20 gwei. It’s alive?!
still fired up about /defi meeting in congress last week.
Learned about numun.fi this week and a growing variety of forex carry trades onchain from my friend https://x.com/mariandipietra

Tokenized Argentinian pesos that when staked, get the underlying yield from government short term debt!

Cool to see more forex come onchain via @base
interesting thing with BTC and ETH ETFs

there is now much less momentum for tradfi institutions like brokers and banks to adopt crypto infrastructure

their clients wanted access to BTC and ETH, now they have it

blockchain technology and /defi ironically gets a small L as result
Which hotel in Bangkok has squat racks?
Thursday alley music outside our office downtown. These guys are jamming!

Career low score this weekend. Fired me up (and dropped my handicap 3 points 😅)
I want to drag iOS screenshots into @warpcast replies and casts
