What I watch for in altcoins

The state of @arbitrum today is at its peak, recent updates and overall statistics speak for themselves. Arbitrum remains one of the most active Ethereum Layer 2 solutions for daily trading and DeFi activities. And there are a lot of reasons why it it one of the most popular 🧵 chains, the real utility beats everything you can even think about. ————————————————————— > Arbitrum remains the top general-purpose L2 for trading and DeFi, but stats are truly amazing... > DefiLlama {Used as a main source} ~3.08m daily txs, ~244k active addresses, ~$1.29m in app fees, ~$807m in DEX volume, and ~$584m in perps volume. > The stablecoin float is ~$3.93b, with USDC covering ~55%. Activity is high and fee capture is steady. ————————————————————— > What updates in the last year we've had? Hm... > In the past year, Stylus enabled the writing of contracts in Rust, C, and C++ {WASM} compatible with EVM, and launched their mainnet. > BoLD has made validation more open, allowing anyone to challenge incorrect states, with updated documentation on dispute games and running validators. > Arbitrum also supports custom appchains for teams that need dedicated environments. ————————————————————— > Why it matters for us {users} and builders? > Those on-chain stats mean real, repeatable flow: I can swap, borrow, and trade perps quickly, and builders can launch into an audience that actually shows up. > On lending, Aave v3 continues to lead on Arbitrum {$1.1b TVL on Arbitrum via DefiLlama} which powers leverage, credit routing, and safer collateral loops across the ecosystem. > Put simply: fast + cheap + liquid today, with a broader dev surface {Stylus} and a more open security model {BoLD} for tomorrow.

The 10 Biggest Mistakes Young Men Make In Their 20's And 30's 1. Settling for a job they hate A lot of dudes over-index on fear of poverty and under-index on resistance to humiliation, and before they know it they are 35 with some job they hate undergoing a host of daily normie humiliation rituals to keep an income that really isn't that good anyway... 2. Settling for a wife they don't really like Some guys just create a dating profile, start dating the first girl that responds to them regardless of if they really like her, then marry her reluctantly 5 years later even though they don't really love her... etc... very unfortunate but common scenario... 3. Poor diet and obesity Often one's youthful teenage hormones and high activity levels will override a bad diet, but it will inevitably catch up with you by your late twenties. Taking the time to understand nutrition and actually counting your calories and macros is one of the most asymmetric actions one can take in modern life. Is seriously life-changing. 4. Developing some kind of drug dependency This could be prescription or recreational, and often the drug itself is not the main problem but rather the fact that virtually all drugs will nuke your hormone levels if you become physically dependent on them or use them daily, including common prescription drugs like SSRI's and anxiolytics and even skincare stuff like Accutane. If you can make it to age 35 with no drug dependencies the world will literally be your oyster. 5. Developing severe screen-addiction The worst example of this is p0rn because it utterly degrades your vril and thumos, but mindless TikTok slop can be awful too, and video games can be bad (although I think in their highest form they are more akin to art and no worse to engage in than watching great films). 6. Injury OR un-needed surgery These are both often somewhat life destroying. Dudes will be inactive for ten years and gain 50 lbs then think they can still run or jump like when they were 16 (or ego-lift on the barbells), then either destroy their knee or back or else moderately injure it and get roped into a surgery they don't really need which is often even worse. 7. Taking finasteride Yes, there are some guys who claim to have taken it for years with no ill effects, but when you take it you are literally blocking DHT - the hormone that makes you male and is responsible for the majority of your sexual performance and athletic + mental health as a man. The risks vastly outweigh the benefits and tons of dudes attribute life-ruining results to it. 8. Getting on TRT before having kids TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) causes your body to stop producing sperm (though not semen, interestingly). Some of my fellow gymbros will point out that you can (partially) prevent this or restore spermatogenesis via HCG, FSH, etc, HOWEVER, that is the *ideal* scenario and the mental bandwith and emotional toll on couples in this scenario is usually vast. This is a very nuanced discussion as certainly TRT is preferable to [insert extremely bad outcome].... BUT... it is not worth it in most scenarios imo if you're still young and have not yet done your procreation-maxxing. 9. Chronic sleep deprivation To be quite honest I think this might be the worst of all the things on this list. Your body NEEDS sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation is probably the single worst thing you can do from a health perspective. 10. Giving up on your dreams You are only on this planet once. Life is unbelievably and tragically short. It is never worth it to give up on the dreams you had in your youth. Indeed it is better to try and fail at them 1000 times then to give up on them imo. Conclusion Those are the most common mistakes I see dudes make in their 20's and 30's... The silver lining is that none of them are fatal. There are always worthwhile things to do in life, and every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. Also the information and opportunities at our disposal today are greater than any time in human history. With 2-3 years of focused intentionality you can utterly transform your life...

I've been searching about @SentientAGI lately and that was a smart decision... Sentient is an open agent network, GRID is something we're didn't heard of and this really caught my eye And not only that, today we're gonna talk about why Sentient actually makes sense and 🧵 Why it's not just hype... But something bigger, diving deeper: ————————————————————— > Okay so, the main question: "What the hell is Sentient?" > Sentient is positioning itself as an open, community-built AGI network an alternative to closed AI labs, coordinated through something they call GRID. > {Global Repository of Intelligence & Research Directory} > In short: GRID is a network of agents, models, data, and computing, unified by the Sentient Chat layer to direct user requests to the best intelligence, returning verifiable results. ————————————————————— > Simple question is -> "Why it matters?" or "Why should I care" > Sentient matters cuz it turns crypto overload into one reliable brief saving time you’d spend hopping across outlets, while GRID routes each request to the right specialists {news, markets, on-chain} > Sooo, answers go deeper and are cross-checked across multiple sources to cut single-headline bias. > Under the hood, GRID operates as an agent marketplace: multiple autonomous agents for research, market data, and on-chain analytics are composed on the fly {not just one LLM} and the network stays extensible as partners plug in new models, data, tools, and compute. > That agent-of-agents design is what keeps the “one-feed” experience fresh, broad, and continuously improving, without you learning new tools every week. ————————————————————— > Sentient needs agents that "think with proofs" & Chainlink CRE supplies the rails. > CRE -> gives agents verified data, secure compute/TEEs, cross-chain state, and programmable payments {x402} so they can move from summaries to auditable on-chain actions. > Net result: trustworthy inputs, credible execution, and tight guardrails for end-to-end agent operations. ————————————————————— > You probably saw some screens and people posting about the TGE? Hmhm... > Community hints and placeholders indicate an upcoming Sentient {SENT} TGE, with visible CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko pages. > But, these are signals, not guarantees, as details can change until officially confirmed. ————————————————————— > In conclusion I'll say, sentient is one of my main focuses now: > Sentient excels with agents that do more than summarize, if GRID collects top data, tools, and partners, it could lead crypto intelligence for traders, teams, and protocols. > The challenge is in governance and scalability: ensuring focused proofs, aligned incentives, and less noise. > Solving these issues could elevate crypto research from passive reading -> to smart decisions.
