You always have time!!

A clichéd lie they've told us:
that great opportunities are extremely rare and limited in number, while your time is even more limited.

[AlienX @0xAlienX]

Not bad. I hope February will be a green month for markets.

Nice BUT wen $ETH pools?

[Curve Finance @CurveFinance]

Curve DAO has approved increasing the @yieldbasis crvUSD credit line from 300M to 1B.

The 1B crvUSD represents a maximum credit line, not an immediate allocation. Usage will scale gradually alongside increases in crvUSD liquidity. Curve sets the overall credit line, while YieldBasis must run its own governance votes to raise caps on individual YB markets within that limit.

Since YieldBasis launched, crvUSD trading volume has increased noticeably. Higher YB caps drive additional crvUSD demand and volume, which in turn generates more fees for the DAO.

Do you think they actually care about you?
You’re just a tool to them
something they use to reach their own goals.

Thx @devanshmehta for co-hosting. We discuss how the landscape has shifted from “vibes-based” funding to verifiable, dependency-driven mechanisms, and why this is the best moment to reform PGF using new tools like programmable cryptography, AI-assisted evaluation, and deep funding models.

Vitalik shares how he thinks about dependencies, credible neutrality, open-source licensing, pluralism, accountability, ethereum localism, and what builders should prioritize in the coming year.

Most crypto developers are very young and are solely focused on making a quick buck.
Do DEX aggregators really need their own tokens? Many of them have zero revenue and are just forks of another DEX aggregator with no innovation whatsoever.
A lot of projects truly don't need governance tokens at all.
Does an NFT Marketplace need a token? Hasn't OpenSea been a successful product without one to this day? Why, at a time when NFT trading volumes have plummeted and their revenues have tanked, are they suddenly thinking of launching their own token?
Isn't this just about lining their pockets?
