I really need to check my dms more often. Seeing messages from 38 weeks ago and older. Don't wanna miss the next Hyperliquid dropping a message.

You liked your job. Then a founder told you that working for someone else was a waste of your life. You liked your business. Then someone raising money made you feel small for not wanting to. You liked your evening. Then a productivity video told you what you could have done with it. Before fixing your life, check whose dissatisfaction you have brought into it.

I'm gradually moving toward older devices. Why does my TV need to listen to me all the time,& why should a microwave be connected to the web? There's a need to strike a balance between adopting tech & handing over 100% of your life to tech companies. Sadly, it'll only accelerate.

You need to be lore-maxxing. Taking risks. Failing miserably. Relentlessly strategizing and experimenting. Nobody wants to die with a story that isn't worth telling.

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.

I wanna give some credit to Phantom for turning one of the best mobile wallets into utter garbage. Why can't I easily find my wallet address from the first page of the UI? Why does ever token sale automatically go to Phantoms stable coin? Why did they move the send or even receive tokens button into an obscure place and require 3-4 additional button clicks? It takes a special talent to turn a great product into an absolutely AWFUL one.

Randomness as the foundation of security is quite an interesting concept. I'm referring to keys and encryption.

It's been a brutal bear market with a lot of casualties. I wonder what the next bull will look like.

Sad to see Odos winding down. One of the few dapps that I genuinely enjoyed using.
To the Odos community: after much consideration, the operating company behind Odos is winding down its operations. The app moves to read-only on July 27, and all Odos services shut down permanently on July 30, 2026. Odos is non-custodial: your assets remain yours and on-chain. If you created your wallet on Odos with a social or email login, see below for how to transfer or export.

Major cheat code for life: Make peace with being unimpressive to the outside world. Drive the normal car. Wear the simple clothes. Live below your means. Stay in the committed relationship. The ability to look ordinary while building an extraordinary life is wildly underrated.

Brilliant tool from @DefiLlama. We need this for pools across chains. With the current state of DeFi, there should also be a disclaimer that beyond these risks, everything can still get FUBAR and you can lose 100% of funds at any given time.
When you deposit into a vault, you're exposed to more than the vault itself: oracles, bridges, collateral, the sequencer, holders of vault roles. Introducing risk scenario planning on DefiLlama. * Maps every dependency that touches your deposit * Models your max loss from each failure point * Live now across 20 Morpho vaults

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got: If you want a calmer life, you need to address small problems while they’re still small. The cost of dealing with an issue rarely gets cheaper with time. Procrastination turns uncomfortable things into unavoidable things.

Every other day I log on to this app there's a defi hack and people lose their money. Can't be the future of finance. How does defi evolve to a point where there's better security and funds are safu? I guess never, because decentralization comes at a cost?
KelpDAO was exploited, with ~$294M stolen! 🚨 The attacker minted 116,500 $RSETH ($294M). By selling $RSETH and using it as collateral to borrow $ETH, the attacker obtained 106,467 $ETH ($250M). intel.arkm.com/explorer/enti…
