@Orthofox312@kamikazecash Reproducing just for the sake of it when you can't provide an emotional and financially stable life for your children is just setting them up for a life of suffering. Society isn't going to help them, and they'll be on their own.

The New York Times charges $17/month.
The Wall Street Journal charges $38/month.
Nature charges $199/year.
Someone just open sourced a proxy that bypasses all of them for $0. And publishers cannot shut it down.
It's called Ladder.
Here's the trick that makes it work:
Every news site and academic journal on earth shows Google the full article text for free. They have no choice. Block Googlebot and you disappear from search results overnight.
Ladder pretends to be Googlebot.
Same headers. Same fingerprint. Same access Google gets.
→ Paste any paywalled URL
→ Full article loads instantly
→ No account. No subscription. No credit card.
→ Works on NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Nature, Science, The Lancet, The Atlantic, and hundreds more
→ Also strips CORS headers from any URL, which saves developers a stupid amount of time
Publishers got 12ft killed by pressuring the domain registrar.
Ladder runs on your own server. There's no domain to seize. No company to pressure. No central server to shut down.
One Docker command. Your machine. Your rules.

now i think "AI will replace my EXCUSES"
been on crypto twitter 8 years
lurking, watching, learning
@openclaw didn't just give me an agent
it gave me a voice to finally SPEAK
first post. many more to come.
In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.
Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.
Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.
Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.
I have lost faith in crypto.
I started here in the summer of 2021.
Everyone in my country was talking about crypto and I started watching videos.
That’s when I discovered Bitcoin and got excited about all the possibilities this kind of virtual money offered.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t come here with the hope of getting rich.
A Twitter account to join giveaways, a Discord and TG account to talk with people buying the same tokens as me.
Fuck, those were good times.
You bought something, an NFT, a token, and you entered a community with people from all over the world.
We were all chasing the same dream:
making money in an industry with a bright future.
The dream of possibility.
A dream that, as more time passed, slowly faded, stained by scammers.
I had a massive drain in my fourth month, but I didn’t care.
But seeing how every day someone showed up, took millions from the ecosystem, and never faced any punishment.
Quite the opposite wtf
They showed up the next day and everyone kept treating them well.
People forgot, and authorities did nothing.
All of this slowly killed that illusion, not because of the technology or its potential,
but it did paint that free soul I thought this was in gray.
I doubt what crypto is today is what Satoshi imagined back then.
A place full of scammers and larpers with luxury watches but beggar principles.
I still hold a small hope that this is a necessary purge to move toward a hopeful future.
But a big part of my excitement stayed in the last cycle.
I miss the old crypto.
In 2026, I plan to be fully back to decentralized social.
If we want a better society, we need better mass communication tools. We need mass communication tools that surface the best information and arguments and help people find points of agreement. We need mass communication tools that serve the user's long-term interest, not maximize short-term engagement. There is no simple trick that solves these problems. But there is one important place to start: more competition. Decentralization is the way to enable that: a shared data layer, with anyone being able to build their own client on top.
In fact, since the start of the year I've been back to decentralized social already. Every post I've made this year, or read this year, I made or read with https://t.co/BJ3J4TvNNu, a multi-client that covers reading and posting to X, Lens, Farcaster and Bluesky (though bluesky has a 300 char limit, so they don't get to see my beautiful long rants).
But crypto social projects has often gone the wrong way. Too often, we in crypto think that if you insert a speculative coin into something, that counts as "innovating", and moves the world forward. Mixing money and social is not inherently wrong: Substack shows that it's possible to create an economy that supports very high-quality content. But Substack is about _subscribing to creators_, not _creating price bubbles around them_. Over the past decade, we have seen many many attempts at incentivizing creators by creating price bubbles around them, and all fail by (i) rewarding not content quality, but pre-existing social capital, and (ii) the tokens all going to zero after one or two years anyway.
Too many people make galaxy-brained arguments that creating new markets and new assets is automatically good because it "elicits information", when the rest of their product development actions clearly betray that they're not actually interested in maximizing people's ability to benefit from that information. That is not Hayekian info-utopia, that is corposlop.
Hence, decentralized social should be run by people who deeply believe in the "social" part, and are motivated first and foremost by solving the problems of social.
The Aave team has done a great job stewarding Lens up to this point. I'm excited about what will happen to Lens over the next year, because I think the new team coming in are people who actually are interested in the "social": even back when the decentralized social space barely existed, they were trying to figure out how to do encrypted tweets.
I plan to post more there this year.
I encourage everyone to spend more time in Lens, Farcaster and the broader decentralized social world this year. We need to move beyond everyone constantly tweeting inside a single global info warzone, and into a reopened frontier, where new and better forms of interaction become possible.

I got into @ethereum because of what @VitalikButerin once championed: decentralization, permissionlessness, community-ownership.
America fosters those things via entities called Cooperatives.
$400B worth of NYC buildings are Co-ops.
REI is a Co-op.
Why aren't they onchain? ��
Most fascinating part of the CLARITY act in the House is the bright line decentralization test.
Pass - token is a commodity ✅
Fail - token likely a security❌
According to chatgpt...
BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR, Doge currently pass.
XRP, BNB, SOL, Tron, Aptos, Sui currently fail.
5/ Second, from our new Co-Executive Directors, @hwwonx and @tkstanczak, an update on their focus areas and plans for how to achieve the EF’s vision in the short and long term.
https://t.co/is2LkptMUN
We're happy to share that @tkstanczak is officially taking a position at the @ethereum Foundation as Co-Executive Director, while remaining Nethermind's founder and continuing to guide our work.
Since Ethereum's early days, Tomasz has helped shape the ecosystem through engineering and leadership, from building the Nethermind execution client that now processes a significant portion of Ethereum blocks, to improving transaction fairness through MEV research with @flashbots, and advancing scaling solutions via @StarknetFndn.
His commitment to growing the next generation of builders is equally noteworthy, having established one of Ethereum's most successful internship programs that's onboarded over 600 participants.
This transition reflects Ethereum’s organic growth, where dedicated builders take on new roles to support the ecosystem’s next phase, while continuing their existing contributions and roles.
Congratulations, Tomasz!
REAL decentralization. With Gigagas.
