Fun and inspiring chat as always with @ethereumJoseph talking the future of @MetaMask !

AM off-grid update: Almost a full week of clouds in the desert and things feel... static this morning. 🪙 ETH is fighting to hold $2,700 while BTC slips below $84K. 🔺 NEAR and LIT did make the sudden moves I said to watch out for yesterday. NEAR is one of the biggest gainers in the top 100 and LIT is one of the biggest losers over the past 24 hours. 🤖 Memecoins are mellowing and hey - anyone heard from any AI stocks lately? 📷 🔐 Have a great weekend and hold on to your keys!

It's hard to understate how impressive this is or understand it if you've never run this event before. An 800 is basically running just below a full sprint for half a mile. It's very mental. Finding the extra speed and will to make up that gap at the Olympic level is nuts.

AI and web3 meet at the point that matters most: data. $VVV is Venice’s token on Base, built with a specific job: connecting a wallet to private AI inference. Here’s how it works 👇

looks rare

AM Off Grid - The rare and unusual 48-hour stretch of desert drizzle continues. Generator runs. ⚡️ Odd market day: small correction hitting the privacy tokens hardest, Litecoin and Ondo stay green. Watching LIT and NEAR for sudden moves. 📉 Enjoyed this ad: interesting platform, in a state where the Democratic nominee has withdrawn and the Dem party is apparently supporting Independent Achilles? Alas Achilles currently sits at under 5% on Polymarket.

Hmmm... You have my attention. (Looking for a place to live on the other side of the river @JulieCatt?)

AM off-grid update: New DC breaker board made out of an old license plate. Now the fridge and pump are playing nice together. 🤡 Elsewhere, seeing a lot of rotation this week back into memecoins, launch pads, dexes, Solana. Or maybe it's just vibes...

when you get 7% yield 🦊

AM off grid: Today is the day that the 12v pump and fridge get their own circuits. No more freezer shutting off when the shower runs. (Long story) ⚡️ Elsewhere: The flip from fear to greed mode now feels for real with BTC and ETH at 9 month highs. 👛 🇨🇳 This week Trump's expected meeting with Xi Jinping could make waves in... something. 🤷‍♂️ Or could be a nothing-burger. Impossible to say these days. 🪆 The real tension that prediction markets will be triangulating is between Trump and Putin. The "NATO x Russia military clash by..." market has shot up in volume recently.

And far more than that just let all the water that hits their roof run into the yard...

AM intel from off-grid: I figured out why my water pump has been short cycling. 🚿 MORE IMPORTANT: Not a bad way to start the week, with @ETH over $2,700. 🎉 🪶 The summer's Robinhood and memecoin bump might be giving way to (or at least sharing the spotlight with) a durable privacy and utility narrative with projects like Venice (base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf ) and ZCash (zcash:native) continuing to absolutely crush it. 🕶️ 👀 Going to be watching some of the chatter that prediction markets volume is rotating out of sports and into crypto and geopolitics. Still an awful lot of volume in eSports and both footballs. Go Broncos. 🐎

Off-grid wake up: The SEC and CFTC were ready to make a big splash with new, market-structuring rules as soon as the demise of the CLARITY Act was clear. 🪙 Crypto is reacting this morning, with BTC back over $80k and ETH over $2,500 as of posting time. 🕐 Markets are going onchain and getting less sleep moving forward. Enjoy the Weeknd!

1/ The SEC granted a five-year "Innovation Exemption" today letting onchain AMM venues trade tokenized stocks without registering as exchanges. Here's what's in it, and what isn't 🧵

well, that was quick. Guess there's other ways to get Clarity, at least temporarily.

Apparently when Tarantula season comes late it just gives them more time to become bigger and bolder.
