Who's making a free and open source fake ID for Discord generator? Hint - many US states do not have a database to check if drivers' licenses are legit. You'd be surprised at the number of ID verification startups that can get fooled by this.

We have to hide this post from North Korea.

Now that Kaito is sunsetting Yaps, might as well share this publicly. Tech moves fast and crypto moves even faster, but if you watch carefully you can find a lot of opportunities to get an edge - here's one example. In the Kaito Yaps dashboard you could scrape every single board (now 120) x every board has 5 date periods (7D, 30D, 3M, 6M, 12M) -> that makes 600 different lists, each list has 99 profiles on it, that's 59,400 profiles (incl. dups obviously). If you inspect the source code you realize Kaito uses the Twitter IDs for the profiles. You could pull a person's Twitter name, username, pfp link, bio, following count, follower count, smart follower count, smart following count. More interestingly - if you scroll to the creator social graph and inspect it what you'll realize is you can see a connection strength score between any 2 people (based on their Twitter IDs). This means thousands and thousands of connections scored, based on mutual engagement on Twitter, per board. Every BD in crypto knows it's about who you know, and who knows who. If you want to connect with someone but they don't know who you are, you could very quickly check - do they have a high score of mutual interaction? And that's how you get a way more meaningful intro than reaching cold.

Building something you'd never trade is a bigger flex than building something impressive you secretly hate.

You can't compete with someone who loves the process. They'll outlast you every single time. Outcomes fade. Obsession doesn't.

What stage of capitalism is it when the White House is rigging betting markets on how long its press briefings denying war crimes will last?

FYI this isn’t the first time the US tried to buy Greenland. In 1946, President Harry Truman secretly offered Denmark $100,000,000 in gold bars for the island.

big week for those that love to circle back

i bought $aave this week for the first time. it's now one of my main two liquid positions (with $btc). here's why: >the @aave app will be offering 6-9% apy on savings with insurance. this is the first crypto product i've ever felt comfortable recommending to non-crypto friends. no savings account can give you that. >then remember that *anyone in the world* can use aave. any tradfi services you want to compare it to are puny in comparison, bounded by local region. >put those together, and everyone in the world should be putting some of their savings in aave. this sounds absurdly grandiose only because nothing like this was possible until now. it's a no-brainer. >some napkin math. annualized revenue is about $90M (the DAO earned about $140M last year, but a market downturn has lowered recent earnings). the FDV is $2.7B. that roughly equates to a 30x P/E ratio on the high side and 20x P/E ratio on the low side. this is neither cheap nor expensive in this market compared to banks and financial services, and your estimate of fairness will depend on the growth multiple you apply. in any case for crypto investors, its comfortable to be able to calculate a reasonable valuation at all—something that's impossible with protocol tokens. >through the dispute between labs and the DAO, both sides agreed on major points: 1) revenue should go to the $AAVE token, 2) the DAO had full rights over its earnings ($140M last year). as a tokenholder, these are the points that really matter, and the rest is largely noise. >most recently (jan 2nd), @StaniKulechov has committed to sharing revenue from outside the protocol with tokenholders. >there is exactly one crypto product that has continued to grow for years on a single use case that isn't trading. that product is aave, and borrowing-lending remains crypto's greatest base use case: something everyone needs, something that crypto optimizes by removing middle men and expanding access, something that grows as the rest of crypto grows (enabling leverage into other apps), something that grows if the rest of crypto doesn't grow. >for all their many differences, @StaniKulechov and @Marczeller each remain two of the greatest founders in this space, showing up day after day in any cycle to build things that people use. there are very, very few people you can say have 10 year conviction in this space, nevermind 10-month conviction. but they are two, and i'd personally back anything that either one of them does.
