I really like and see the power of prediction markets. But it made me wonder, what’s the risks and dark side of prediction markets? What are the unintended consequences? Here’s what ChatGPT said chatgpt.com/share/68ea632c…


Trustless was the last decade. Trustworthy needs to be the next decade. We have a lot of work to do.

Free speech can’t hinge on billionaires or borders. it needs systems that outlast them. Decentralized comms like @xmtp_ flip the script from personalities to protocols.

So, @durov is right about running out of time. Except he’s wrong about the solution. It can’t be about him. And it for sure can’t be about me. If free speech depends on any person, company, or even country, it’s already lost. We don’t need new politicians, CEOs or…

Builders supporting builders 🫡 Great unboxing vid from the one & only @jessepollak

NEW: I unboxed the @EthereumPhone and it's sick

Honestly, we’ve been building @xmtp_ for almost 5 years now and seeing a moment like what just happened to Jesse makes me remember why we work so hard. That’s just magic. 🪄

“Every creator I know is exhausted” I’d take that a step further… “Every person I know is exhausted by social media”

It’s Not About Me, A Thought From Me It doesn’t matter if it’s my birthday, my company, or my cause. If free speech depends on any single person, it’s already lost. We don’t need another politician. We don’t need another hero CEO promising to fix the internet. We need systems…

XMTP laser focused on privacy. Convos too.

Solana laser focused on privacy. Ethereum laser focused on privacy. Zcash laser focused on privacy (obviously). Cypherpunks are winning.

Telegram & X formerly Twitter, are the digital version of quicksand. Build anything meaningful and it will disappear fast.

update: they just booted Bankr off X as well. you can still interact with bankr through the private terminal at bankr.bot and decentralized options like @baseapp @xmtp_ and @farcaster_xyz we look forward to working with these platforms to re-enable people's…



It’s not sketch, it’s literally what always happens and what they’ve always done. If you build on centralized platforms, you will get totally screwed. That’s just what happens. Do not trust them, especially when they say “trust me” or “we won’t do that anymore”

Nail on the head. It's sketch that Telegram went down and then X. Do they have eachother on speed dial, or is it something like cloudstrike shenanigans?



👀 Centralization vs Decentralization playing out in real-time. Building a company, an app, anything - on top of centralized platforms is a fools errand.

Agree with this so much. The get listed shenanigans over the past decade is just that, shenanigans.

if you think it's bad that @coinbase gave it's customers acess to all coins on @base (and soon other chains), you need to reevaluate why you are here every coin should be on a level playing field for access and should focus on earning attention by providing value to the world
