Most run-to-earn apps pay you in their own token. The big ones are down 94–99.9% from their peak. Why that happens, and why Run Money has no token 🧵

Dang y'all, thanks. Extremely grateful for the support. It truly means a lot. Time to get (back) to work!
We’re unironically humbled, honored and proud to announce 127 people backed us in @OctantApp's Epoch 13! Turns out privacy requires B2B sales too. Paraphrasing Eric Hughes, we must better sell people on privacy if we expect to have any. Time to lock in on Umbra v2. Onward.

You've likely received a message from me about this over the past few days. This is an open source privacy project @ScopeLift has been building since 2020 as a public good. As we can't monetise it, we need all the help we can summon to complete v2. $20 in ETH is all it takes!
We now have flying cars. Can we have private payments by default? Back Umbra v2 and other projects in @OctantApp’s privacy round so we can unlock the 100 ETH matching pool. Round closes Oct 21. And small contributions count the most! Let's build Privacy City together 👇

At @ScopeLift, we've been working on @UmbraCash since 2020. It's open source privacy tech that we've built solely from grant funding. We don't monetize it. It's a public good. Please consider supporting the project in the ongoing @OctantApp round. epoch.octant.app/rounds/0x57…

Nearly $2,000. By my calculation, that is what the Iran war has cost the average American household since the war began nearly eight months ago. Nationwide, that adds up to $265 billion.

I spent years advocating for a new kind of web where you owned your own content. Worked on tools for decentralized storage, blockchain usernames, p2p networking. Last week I asked an agent to scour the web for everything I ever posted on flickr, posterous, mirror, medium and the internet archive etc and to convert it into files I own locally. I took back control of my own content and digital life and all I needed was git and markdown. blog.vandesande.design

Mayor @ZohranKMamdani on cutting down wasteful budget spending: There was waste. There's also this addiction to consulting. When we looked at the city budget, we realized we had to save money through efficiency. So we set up something called 'Chief Savings Officers' in every department. We saved $94M just by renegotiating contracts to a better rate. We saved $24M by letting go of unused office space. I believe that government has to be the most excellent, efficient version of itself to be worthy of people's trust.

I spent 10+ years in the crypto space every day, and at the time, I couldn't articulate why I kept coming back every day. Now I'm beginning to recognize how much I enjoyed being surrounded by people who shared my dream of a technological utopia.

We have some major Ethereum news coming out over the next few months that could interest institutions, app devs, and ETH holders. I would like to see how far this news can begin to spread, and I strongly believe in enabling more of our ecosystem to write (this is not just for Ethlabs) I would love to connect with more people at publishing houses and news media to see if we can really turn up Ethereum's media presence a notch, especially by helping more of its most influential yet quiet voices say more. These stories will be worth breaking. @CoinDesk @Cointelegraph @TheBlockCo @Blockworks @DecryptMedia @DLNewsInfo @DefiantNews @BanklessHQ @Unchained_pod @crypto @FortuneMagazine

im working on a project that would lead to approximately 150 pull requests to all ethereum clients. my main goal is that maintainers don't kill me. if it works out, and all the client teams respond well, we would have a harmonized trace_* api that works the same in any client, and even works in geth.

The way Jay Young office responded to me after I gave my opinion on the new speeding fines bill is fucking unreal. Dude needs to resign and get the fuck out of this city.
