@0xDataWolf Damn, that's a shame. They filled a gap in data where Dune wasn't able (e.g., data on certain chains). Also found their queries to execute much faster than Dune so perfect for trial and erroring.
All the best to the @flipsidecrypto team. Fwiw, product had worked terrifically.
one of the first questions Jose asked me when interviewing me 3 years ago was "do you have any aspirations of starting up your own project?" -- to which I replied yes absolutely. took me by surprise at the time.
think about this question a lot. in this space where pretty much every company (outside of CEXs) are basically startups, having talent which yearns to achieve beyond the mean is essential. you need a driven team to truly take your product to the next level.
as a testament to Jose's eye for talent, some of our team went on to build probably some of the most influential products of this cycle (pump, moonshot).
absolute chad founder. love ya for giving me the opportunity.
spent 3 years working on nftperp
it started with a lightbulb idea in my basement
had some traction
got exploited
came back
but clearly itโs not what the market wanted
made a lot of friends and meaningful relationships
thanks to everyone who built with me, supported me and even the ones that laughed at me
nftperp out
@Fiskantes @pumpdotfun @long_solitude Study this. Has been so weird to see how much cash gets blown on the conference circuit.
Saw an AI project spend $350k to hire a DJ last year. Now they're looking to raise again. No one blinks twice at this shit and that's why it keeps happening.
@PopPunkOnChain source on solvency: https://t.co/EQKQ0CZdUk
disclaimer: not a recommendation to keep assets on a CEX. just if you've kept them there until now, this shouldn't be a reason to panic withdraw (or urge others to do so).
withdraw when you feel comfortable custodying your own assets
Based on a very quick back of the envelope calculation, of the numbers in the latest @Bybit_Official published "Reserve Ratios", the company still looks solvent, despite the massive loss over $1bn

@PopPunkOnChain imo the ppl recommending panic withdrawals are contributing more towards the panic.
the exchange seems legitimately healthy from a withdrawal/solvency perspective so trying to instigate another "run-on-the-bank" ftx-style doesn't achieve anything except spread fear
@SNXified@Bybit_Official believe insurance fund is mainly for their perps platform to backstop positions during liquidations.
might be some stipulations preventing them from covering exploited funds caused by hacks. If they drain this then their perps product is in trouble.
.@jessepollak said today "@base will be faster (than Solana) within the half (year) and cheaper + higher throughput within the year"
Do you think Baseโs TPS will exceed Solanaโs by the end of the year?
@alexgraveley not weird at all! love that movie and the layers behind it. would actually be super interested in what it pulls up lol (altho it'll probably just be a distilled analysis from the various sources it pulls from)
I am excited to announce @VarrockVC, an oversubscribed $30M fund investing $600-900k in pre-seed and seed crypto founders!
We are fortunate to be backed by large institutions and family offices who are committed to being long-term partners.

@airtightfish@teknium cannot be. they'd go broke lol
chatgpt $20 sub only gives access to the app, so can probably assume these perks will also be app-exclusive. giving API credits as part of this would be dope though (i think anthropic does this with claude plus subs)
"$100,000 (ยฃ61,000)" - 2014
That's $100,000 (ยฃ79,000) today
Sterling is down bad. Unless it's an FT article, most journalists nowadays won't even bother with adding a USD to GBP conversion rate
@intocryptoast@ai16zdao Pretty neat way to build out the character. What'd you use to dl the twitter archive?
Also played around with Eliza to get it to perform on-chain actions. The github has a note stating that action's are "broken but the idea is right". Won't stop me trying to hack up a fix lol
browsing the @ai16zdao eliza repo and noticed this plugin. imo missed opportunity to call it buttplugin
this ai can not only trade shitcoins, but it can now punish your rectal cavity whenever your portfolio goes down in value
i fear we may be accelerating too fast
