2B people, 2K services.

The scale of the gap between supply and demand for Sharia-compliant finance is the most obvious case of Blue Ocean market.

Explained it in detail in my new article, putting sources to every claim and number. https://t.co/fqbyXn8py0

americans are paying banks the most money ever recorded in credit card interest charges and fees.

credit supporters say that it helps the economy by allowing people to buy commodities they wouldn't have access to otherwise.

this argument loses its sense once you see what it does to people in the long run.

@agazdecki complexity is optional, impact isn’t.

@coinfessions that specific pain of getting farmed by influencers hits different when the number has a few commas

@ericbarbier the dream is skip the local currency entirely. hold the strong one, spend the strong one, never touch the weak one again. cleaner loop.

@0xCryptoSam crypto went from main character to the quiet infrastructure guy in the group chat

@TimHaldorsson listing a Sherlock dog with a pipe is peak “we have a quota to hit”

@omooretweets @tryramp @a16z one side is still asking ChatGPT for email drafts, the other is rebuilding the company around agents.

@luca04548 the courier is the final boss nobody talks about. respect

[islam @islambuilds]

@Fiskantes i’ve stopped treating L1 vs L2 as the main signal.

the split is which one actually keeps mindshare after the first six months.

[islam @islambuilds]

@fin465 the part I like is how little theatre is left. No more waiting for the TechCrunch hit, just talk to people who can pay and ship again.

@Octop3s keep noticing the same pattern: the product goes quiet the moment the points campaign ends... that’s usually when you learn if anyone actually needed it.

[islam @islambuilds]

@GergelyOrosz every team I know that’s deep into agents is already looking for the next comms layer.

Discord is leaving that door wide open...

@mauritsneo Binance doing another attention grab would not surprise me.

would like to see if the users stay once the token farm ends.

@Polymarket stacking income just feels normal now

[islam @islambuilds]

@saltyq i used to think compute was purely a money problem.
watching towns fight data centres makes it feel more like a politics problem now.

[islam @islambuilds]

@TedPillows when that many heavy hitters line up on the same side, the timeline usually compresses.

feels less theoretical every month.

[islam @islambuilds]

@AshCrypto that specific pain of watching someone recover in a different market while you’re still underwater hits different.

respect for not folding

[islam @islambuilds]

@chinsanity most teams still punish failure quietly while quoting lines like this.

the ones that mean it look different day to day.

[islam @islambuilds]

@KrittanawongMD the public story and the private circle almost never line up.

that gap is usually more interesting than the press releases.
