@jordanmmck I wrote an essay on how Ethereum stores value inspired in large part by your ETH vs Bitcoin video (I link it in chapter 6): https://t.co/yCFYZrmtyO

Would love to hear more of your thoughts on how Ethereum can/should work towards becoming the best digital SoV!

This is exactly why I built https://t.co/eAwwKR4Jtt

Three years ago I planned a beach trip with buddies, paid for it myself upfront, then had HALF the group flake several days before the trip

Never again, thanks to Tipping Point

[Tipping Point App @TPdotApp]

Don't be this guy - raise the money up front with a Tipping Point campaign!

No more flaking, no more chasing, no more risking personal funds and hoping for the best.

Eliminate the uncertainty with Tipping Point and never lose money on a group trip again!

"the equivalent of like a GoFundMe, but on the blockchain"

I built this!

We do GFM-style fundraising, plus several other campaign styles for all types of crowdfunding

Marc Andreessen on the untapped potential of AI agents:

"You could have an AI bot that basically raises money to make a movie and then spends the money on image generation and sound generation."

"Maybe even hiring actors... set designers or graphic artists or... sound effects people, musicians."

"Or let's take a more serious case... you could have an AI bot that's doing protein folding and literally coming up with cures, doing personalized medicine for cancer patients."

"You could easily imagine having an economic mechanism for that... hypothetically, you could have the equivalent of like a GoFundMe, but on the blockchain, for people to basically be able to pay an AI bot to cure their cancer."

@RyanSAdams ETH is a store of value and one of the most important apps on ethereum.

Had a great time at the @base meetup last night with @ZacPrater, @hughescoin and the Austin crew!

Thanks to @ownapp_ for hosting - let's use @TPdotApp to crowdfund another event soon!

@Dynamo_Patrick If the cycle repeats, I think it'll be due mostly to global liquidity and the debt cycle (which only coincidentally follows a similar timeline as the BTC halvings): https://t.co/Df0AEDLVgQ

No token, no investment risk - just real utility for users

[Dissident Landman @DissLandman]

Who is building the ETH app that the average middle class American, who doesn’t understand crypto, will want to use badly enough that they’ll take some of the very little free time they have to learn?

I just don’t see anybody building anything that will spur mass adoption.

Defi isn’t going to do it. They have 401ks and very little in the bank. Memecoin gambling definitely isn’t going to do it. AI coins are just memcoins that talk.

I’m just not seeing any reason to buy the mass adoption narrative.

[Jonathan Kaplan @realjonkaplan]

@Muustasch @econoar You make a good point, and this is why we're building @TPdotApp: stablecoin-based p2p crowdfunding on Base.

Not a "crypto app" so much as an app that just happens to use crypto. Working hard to make it easy for non-natives to use so they can bring their ideas to life!

[Jonathan Kaplan @realjonkaplan]

@base https://t.co/mCixVoMY82 (@TPdotApp) is peer-to-peer crowdfunding that eliminates risk and uncertainty in fundraising!

[Jonathan Kaplan @realjonkaplan]

@MikeIppolito_ This is why I built @TPdotApp - peer-to-peer crowdfunding that removes centralized middlemen (so we're faster/cheaper/more secure than kickstarter or gofundme) and eliminates the risk and uncertainty from raising money by solving collective action problems. Sent you a DM!

Coordinating large community projects like this is precisely why we built https://t.co/bM6zrLMDR8 - not only does the platform boast the lowest fees of ANY crowdfunding platform, but you can also structure your raise with certain requirements (like a minimum # of people participating and/or a certain amount of money raised), such that no one has to contribute anything unless the group hits its goals.

If you're interested in using @TPdotApp for this, shoot me a DM - would love to help you build this!

[Jonathan Kaplan @realjonkaplan]

@jessepollak https://t.co/9BysbbqdoN is a crowdfunding app designed to help builders bring their ideas to life - @jessepollak shoot me a DM and let's see if we can't help our Based brethren build better!
