I made a personal black hole that makes you take breaks 🕳️

A shader for Ghostty that spawns a small black hole in your terminal - it drifts around, gravitationally lensing your text. The longer you work without stopping, the bigger it gets, until it's basically demanding you go touch grass

Take a break and it quietly shrinks away

@BuidlBNB @BNBCHAIN Binance just picked a lane, so did Google, and so did Stripe, none of them picked the same one.

Tbh it's why Buidl simply makes sense!

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@ONEGUYw6 @binance @BNBCHAIN @BuidlBNB I mean... IYKYK

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@BuidlBNB Ok you have my attention 👀

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@ViktorSebas97 @BuidlBNB I would say x402 is the most live right now, Coinbase built it, Cloudflare supports it. AP2 is Google's version, still early.. Stripe MPP just announced. So yeah nobody's won ye, if they pull this off they sitting on a gold mine imo

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@BuidlBNB Fact is that @cz_binance said agents will make 1 million times more payments than humans and if that's even half true the infra gap here is not small 💯

🔥HUGE:

🇺🇸 Fed will inject $15,172,000,000 into the economy this week.

@BSCNews @PiCoreTeam Non-compliant nodes disconnected after the hard deadline.
421K still active, the network self selected for operators who are serious and that matters for what is coming in May

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@PiCoreTeam The PiRC process turning community feedback into protocol decisions is quietly one of the most underrated governance mechanisms in this ecosystem. PiRC1 set token standards. PiRC2 is setting subscription infra, the pattern is becoming clear

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@PiCoreTeam Projects that figured out distribution before utility are smart but the ones that figured out verified human distribution before utility are basically JUST Pi! that context is what makes May 7 interesting to me..

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@PiCoreTeam Most chains have transfers and swaps. Recurring payments tied to real services is where mainstream adoption actually lives. @PiCoreTeam just got there first and did it on a network of verified humans, that combination does not exist anywhere else, period!

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@Aptos @okx The partner list reads like a who's who of people who actually ship.
Uniswap, Base, QuickNode, Nansen, MoonPay. These aren't names that sign up for things that don't have legs tbh

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@Mr_BULL1 @Aptos The combination of 99.99% uptime and gas under $0.001 is what serious infra is all about

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@Aptos Yeah, I mean block space to spare while running 274M monthly transactions is the part that separates @Aptos from chains that get congested the moment something goes viral. The capacity was built in from day one fr 🤔

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@Aptos Imo the opt-in structure is the part that makes this actually work in practice, full transparency stays available for those who want it + privacy becomes available for those who need it, regulated entities get selective disclosure via view keys 👌👌

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@diamante_io Most cyberattacks exploit a weakness in the implementation vs Quantum exploits the foundation the implementation was built on

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@diamante_io The reason quantum gets ignored is the same reason it is so dangerous "Nothing looks wrong yet" which is the whole problem, period.

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@diamante_io The race framing is accurate but undersells the stakes. In a normal race being late costs position. In this one being late costs the permanent historical record of every transaction ever made on your chain becoming readable = catastrophic!

[The ChainEconomist @ChainEconomist1]

@diamante_io Most people will not take quantum seriously until something breaks visibly and publicly, wether they like it or not, consider it or not, it's on it's way!
