Lorde | Whats New In Crypto

Software engineer exploring crypto products. What changed, how it works, and what’s still unproven.

Building What’s New In Crypto Today.

@jacksondenka Getting trading fees into the profit numbers is the one for me…. lots of tiny wins can still leave the wallet going backwards.

@bearonionlol @toly @solana Ah fair…. which stock and order size were you testing? Would be useful to see where the quote starts getting ugly.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@germes_dupes @Polymarket says a third-party provider was compromised…. they say the issue is fixed and affected users will be made whole. No payout timing in the update yet.

@coldtrz That green cortisol meter is the most fictional thing in this picture 💀

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@FaveDigitalsHQ For remittance teams, I’d love a “send $100, what arrives?” view…. fees can tell a different story from how much money sits on a chain.

@ptsayli An episode with a shop owner who said no would be good…. especially what they’d need to see before trying it.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@hungrytrtl I’d add a “was moving worth it?” line…. interest earned after fees, beside what staying put would’ve earned.

@0xKitaP @playtcggo @solana If two friends walk to the same card…. can both catch it, or does the first person get it? That could turn a chill walk into a sprint 🏃

@CryptonGoBoom Has building the tracker changed what you play…. or are you still ignoring your own stats? 😅

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@Maziiiarkrm I’d let a shop owner or freelancer bring the problem…. teams build around that, then the same person comes back to judge. Harder to sneak another launchpad in 👀

@BitcoinSafariTZ @walletofsatoshi Your receiving screenshot says USDB, not USDT…. there’s a conversion in the middle too. I’d ask WoS to break out that conversion cost separately from the Binance withdrawal fee.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@itsdavetech @tokens Small thing on the Anthropic page…. I’d put the token issuer beside the company name. Makes it easier to see what you’re actually buying.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@0xrhota @CambrianNetwork Now I’m curious whether the old meme wallets are the ones trading stocks…. that would make the pipeline story much more interesting.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

I’d start by asking people how they actually send money…. what’s annoying, what costs too much, what workaround they’ve found. Then bring up stablecoins. That’s probably where the better story is.

A scrappy list of unsolicited advice for content creators attending Devcon in Mumbai:

> Skip vanilla interviews.

Most interviews with famous people end up generic. Put them on the spot, in a good way. Go bold.

> Step outside the venue.

You're in the country's financial capital. What normies on the street think about crypto matters too. Ask them. Try explaining crypto to them. Compile the best moments.

> Pick one theme and stick to it.

@EFDevcon has too much going on at once. Pick a theme of your liking. If you pick privacy, attend every privacy talk, panel, workshop, and community hub session. Ask people about it. Simplify what you learned that day and post it. Own the theme. Let your audience recall you for that.

> Film your opinions.

Your best content isn't infomercials or interviews. It's your quirks, your wit, and your observations.

> Nail the basics first.

Make sure you understand the basics with top-notch clarity. In my opinion, what sets a great crypto content creator apart is their grasp of the basics and their ability to articulate. You can only share opinions when you understand the basics.

> Use AI to edit at speed, but don't go bonkers with AI for adding elements. Keep it raw.

> Stay away from needless controversies.

There is a fine line between calculated ragebait and reckless ragebait. Never be reckless.

> Some ideas:
- Ride a local train and pitch stablecoins to your coach
- Do explainer sessions over vada pav
- 60-second explainers where you let Devcon speakers share the crux of their speech
- A series where you ask 3 controversial questions to founders/builders
- An unhinged compilation of where crypto is heading
- Current Indian economic discourse and what you picked up at Devcon

You're in the maximum city with maximum spirit. Make the most of it.

@_Flayzzz @Pumpfun Ah got you…. I worded that badly. Paid from their profits, not just for making the call.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@Iamthetachi @dontbedegen A name-change history would help here…. buy a cat coin, come back to a dog coin, at least you can see how that happened 😂

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@zerokn0wledge_ The Pearl entry is the useful bit…. original thesis and why you closed it, in one place. Much more interesting than just a green number.

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@deepanshu_tw That asterisk is doing a lot of work 😂 what’s the part beyond trading?

[Lorde | Whats New In Crypto @lordebuilds]

@StanCifka 😂 no more blaming the cards then
