people ask me where the good alpha is. I run a token launchpad so i'm probably supposed to have a great answer to this. my honest answer is that I think slow and steady wealth building beats alpha, and I've thought this for a while. if a get rich quick approach worked reliably, the people who found it first would already be rich, everyone around them would be copying it and by the time anyone was talking about it publicly the edge would already be gone. when it does work it works for a few people in a short window and the main variable is luck not skill. luck is not repeatable. the slower way, in which you're genuinely understanding something over time and making boring low variance decisions, doesn't make for a good timeline. almost nobody writes about it. but the truth is that the people i've watched build wealth in crypto over a decade have done work that would look a lot more boring than anything you see on the timeline. idk, maybe that's just cope (but I don't think so)

Just spun through @betrmint — a dopamine machine on @base . Neon flywheel spins, killer artist NFTs, real payouts to creators, and $BETR staking rewards. Already 1 year strong with $300k+ revenue and a thriving community. This is how onchain discovery should feel.

Sounds like a good reason to delete the app TBH...

Farcaster already exists bruh!
What if you just made a separate app called Crypto Twitter? Would solve your problems quick and you’d make a boat

Maybe there is a God after all.
We are revising our developer API policies: We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform. We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should start improving soon (once the bots realize they’re not getting paid anymore). If your developer account was terminated, please reach out and we will assist in transitioning your business to Threads and Bluesky.

Given some rumors, wanted to post a few clarifications: Farcaster is not shutting down. The protocol works and will continue to work. There were 250,000 MAU in December and over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup and plans to shift Farcaster in a more developer-focused direction. As for Merkle, we’re planning to return the full $180M raised back to investors. Over the last 5 years, we tried to be a good steward of investor capital. Finally, I bought my house with Coinbase IPO proceeds.

Does $NVDA have trenchers? Does $COIN have trenchers? Does $AAPL have trenchers? We need to stop pretending that “trenchers” are a good thing. I don’t mean this about the individuals involved — they are largely just trying to find their place in a broader culture (although there is an element of micro pump-and-dumping). It’s more that needing to desperately shill in ceaseless hand-to-hand combat is a sign that the industry as a whole does not have products worth spreading in their own right. It’s like choosing to live in a world full of pyramid-scheme coffee packets while everyone else is building cafes. Crypto Teams: If we find ourself needing to encourage our community to brute force our product in the trenches, we should take it as clear evidence that our product is not quite there. We need to make it more valuable, easier, more compelling to share. Trenchers: You should look for products and coins that are actually worth spreading, and that you honestly believe in. Not just the smallest cap memecoin that you think you can convince others to buy before you move on to the next. Great things get built when we don’t settle for cheap shortcuts. It’s a culture thing. Trenching being a major part of crypto culture is a sign of dysfunction — of lacking extreme value in our products. If we want to cross the chasm to mainstream users, we need to be honest, and challenge our products and communities to be worth existing.

Hey @BrackyHQ do you do everything on X that you do on farcaster? Is there a separate wallet over here on X? How does this work if I use you from both platforms?

Founder (@MatthewFoxAF) of Clankermon (@clankermon) on developers turning to AppChains and Ethereum's scalability. “With Syndicate, the main new thing is that you get to move your sequencer rules onchain as well and have them operate as smart contracts. What @syndicateio is doing generally with the play and the ecosystem play is absolutely critical and desperately needed because we are going to scale everything with Ethereum.”
