I think I would be a fantastic president, I just need to
- turn 35
- have more charisma
- develop opinions
- be friendlier
- delete my posts on here
- learn about the political parties
- have an interest in fame
- increase my energy levels
- become universally beloved/polarizing
100% serious thought: can someone start a DAO that does tax preparation help for NFT/crypto assets? would much rather pay a dao than a boomer startup or accountant to calculate my gains/losses
unironically, burning a nine figure USD sum of ETH in transaction fees to sell virtual land deeds to members of an ape themed yacht club ... is high performance art

is and continues to be where you discover what's trending on Ethereum.
Mint across chains, and have even more fun.
Tried and failed to get money out of SVB on Thursday. Insanely stressful.
We had 6-12 months of expenses in crypto and moved Friday to sell it and fund a new bank account. Gave us the security we needed to ride out the weekend.
Saved by crypto. Not a libertarian dream.
Most software has too many features. It has never been faster or easier to develop software and we largely are seeing breadth of features instead of depth of quality or user experience. I am most inspired by software that does a small number of things very well.

– a fully onchain generative artwork on four different chains. i helped with the smart contracts and I wanted to explain how they work!
Realized today that my salary for my entire career has been paid for by venture capitalists as I have only worked for unprofitable startups. It’s been a rough couple years for VCs; reach out to one and compliment their dealflow maybe.
Currently, I have 6 Ethereum wallet apps on my phone.
Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Family, Uniswap, and Bitski.
Who is building the 7th wallet app that I can install? I love apps and wallets.
Nobody in crypto is making products that are scary. I want to connect my wallet and feel terrified. Please, stop cloning web2 apps and start inducing psychosis.
quick self bag pump.
if you haven't checked out Context in a little bit, now's a great chance to!
totally revamped UI + now you can link your twitter and see what all of your twitter friends are doing in web3!
Thank you!
it would be cool if contracts could have ENS reverse records that showed up on Etherscan. imagine instead of interacting with 0x6170b3..a3 you could interact with asks.zora.eth or something.

we're hiring backend+infrastructure engineers to work on open source public goods for indexing and contextualizing blockchains.
sound interesting? DM me a link to your work.
We made an NFT drop that pays you back the gas you spend minting. And if you keep using , we'll pay for the gas for daily mints. Trying to have !fun :)
The first !fun Friday drop is now live at .
!fun Friday is our new weekly rewards drop. And for the first !fun Friday, we decided that would give rewards that help with the single biggest pain our users experience: gas fees.
announcing , the world's first mint aggregator
mint new NFT projects as soon as they drop – all from a single interface
bonus: we let you filter on free projects, which may be ideal this week ;)
New roles up on our jobs page. Hiring for growth/partnerships as well as an infra engineer.
There is also a benefit not listed on the page. If you come work at our SF office, I will make you afternoon tea (including tea snack!).
A happy customer:
is a super tiny startup but we have the most polished NFT minting website and ship new features all the time. a meaningful % of NFTs minted on ethereum happen via our frontend. we have years of runway in the bank. quit your job now and work with us
Happy Worm Monday. I have returned to announce that I am excited to share announcements with you all this week. I hope you all have been well in my absence. ❤️🪱
Crypto is probably more like Australia than a new planet; an open air prison terraformed into a country that's on fire with really expensive internet access
Going to become the most paranoid treasury manager from here on out. 20 bank accounts. Rotating into gold, guns, Bitcoin, iodine, a helicopter, knives, bullets, short term treasuries
negative mloot reaction is overblown. loot being in more hands rises the tide of all loot projects. the snakes, paper hands, and pure speculators (🤡) told on themselves today.
better to focus on what we can co-create together. 🕊
My favorite people to talk with are people with obsessive, all-consuming passions... doesn't matter if I know anything about it. What a gift to meet someone who cares so much about anything
In roughly a month, Ethereum's energy usage will decrease by 99%. I'd love the haters to name any $200bn+ or similarly valuable company that can do that

great news and excited for the foundation team. we need to move more provenance on chain, and having an on chain "collection" primitive is vital for allowing artists to control their own destiny with regards to how their work is presented
ᴀɴɴᴏᴜɴᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ
We are closing minting access to the Foundation Collection on Friday, January 28.
Let’s all take a moment to ground ourselves in why this matters, and how this decision empowers creators even more in web3.

my dad has sold on amazon since 1999. every 1-2 years an arbitrary policy action threatens to get his entire account wiped. every single time an email to jeff bezos has fixed it
Constantly blown away by the responsiveness of Metamask customer support. You can just say "metamask transaction stuck" and 10 people will reply with help links 😅
@David_Rudnick
in the next 1-2 years the trend of AI tools/plugins to assist with creative works will only accelerate. meaning before we reach full automation, many of the professionals subject to replacement will pay for the privilege to be part of the final training sets
Whenever I’m at a SF tech party and I can tell the person I just met is starting to respect me, I just say “I work in crypto btw” to disabuse them of the idea I might be smart

Starting a consulting company where I help companies save $25k/mo on their Alchemy bill by logging in to their AWS and starting up a ridiculously overpowered geth node that costs $500/mo
I have a new NFT project. It's called Show Receipt At Exit.
It's an ongoing project comprised of 6 years of Homeland Security entry receipts. I'll mint more as I get more receipts.
I'm selling it via raffle. (see next tweet)

Today mintfun and Zora launched a Bridge Pass 2.0. Bridge Passes are NFTs that are only mintable by bridging ETH from an L1 to an L2. Wanted to explain a bit about how that works.
if i don't make money flipping your nft, it's a rug pull. when i ask what the "utility" is, i'm asking you how you're going to 10x my investment. we need to declare war on artists that don't see this.
one reason crypto mining and nfts are so controversial is that they provide a sense of skeumorphism / tangibility to a lot of change that's been supporting the past 25 years of progress.
