One aspect of crypto security I've been thinking about lately is something like "proof of no control" where you can credibly prove you can't access your own crypto without some third party in a completely different physical location. Would massively disincentivize extortions.

Another city added to my grid city supremacy list.

Oh damn, Buenos Aires is AMAZING.

Time flies man...

👌👌

When you solve wallet friction at the infrastructure level, retention follows. ✅ 39.40% active ratio across deployed accounts ✅ Multi-day engagement, not one-time usage ✅ Sustained transaction activity

every few weeks on this app there is a guy saying: "[insert number]/mo is a comfortable amount of money" then all the hustle grindset dropship trader influencers turn into angry replyguys. can't allow their shtick of pitching lambo life to gullible young guys show cracks.

Very proud of this integration! @askginadotai are proper trailblazers in the agentic execution market. an amazing app, an extremely precise and smart agent and not least - @biconomy Supertransactions to power the execution engine.

1) what?

We’re fixing borrowing. Self-repaying loans. Coming to @Solana. Borrow Better.

The synergy between Biconomy Supertransactions/MEE and AI Agents is becoming quite apparent (plenty of cool projects launching soon!) Supertransaction API gives Agent companies: i) Multi-chain execution w/ abstracted gas ii) Calldata generation for 200+ protocols iii) Safety rails via the only multi-chain native smart session stack

Supertransaction mode.

I’ll be in NYC the next two weeks raising our seed for @OverHerdXYZ . In the past 90 days we’ve quietly become the largest social app in web3 by nearly every measurable metric DAU, WAU, MAU, and app installs. We’re #2 in revenue behind @zora We've done a lot with a little and we’re coming for the web2 giants next. We will put 1 billion normies on chain 🦙

Hyperfinancialization will have our society rediscover why every major religion explicitly prohibits gambling 😂

Does anybody here know how I can get APY% from a {chainId: tokenAddress} information. e.g. I pass the address of aBasUSDC and chainId of Base and get back the APY of that AAVE pool. Having that information with comprehensive protocol coverage would help me so much...

John Collison: We only had 50 users two years after founding Stripe “We started working on Stripe in the Fall of 2009, and we launched Stripe in September 2011,” John Collison reflects. “I remember right at the beginning when we were starting it I said to Patrick [Collison], ‘Yeah let’s do it. How hard can it be?’ Which gives you a sense of our mindset. And the answer was: two years of difficulty. We had not predicted that.” John remembers feeling dejected when Stripe only had 50 users two years later: “When you spend two years getting 50 users, it doesn’t feel like a whole lot of progress. It feels like things are going pretty slow.” But this is one of the challenges of startups, he argues: “If you’re working on a startup that’s a bad idea, it’s going to feel like slow-going. But if you’re working on a startup that’s a good idea, it may feel like slow-going too.” Yet slow growth has a silver lining: “I think the thing that allowed us to take off in the subsequent years was the fact that since we were spending so much time on each one of those users; since we were hyper-focused on building a great product; and since we weren’t dealing with problems of scale yet, that allowed us to build the product that we wanted. Part of the culture that set in really early on was taking abnormally good care of those early users.” The Stripe founders would get an email or phone call anytime a user ran into a bug. When they sent the customer an email moments later alerting them that the bug was now fixed, people’s minds were blown. They set up a Campfire room that any customer could join and use to message John and Patrick at any hour of the day or night. And if a user was based in the Bay Area, the founders would invite them to come by the office and help integrate Stripe for them. In the Stripe dashboard they would prompt their customers for feedback and feature requests. Then the Stripe founders would reply to that feedback within 10 minutes. “What this meant was that even though the user growth was happening quite slowly in the early days,” John explains, “it actually had a pretty surprising viral effect where people had a good experience, they told their friends about it, and we were able to spread entirely through word-of-mouth even to this day.” Video source: @ECorner (2015)
