If you’re staking $JUP, today is an important day.
Today marks the end of another @JupiterExchange ASR period.
APY currently sits at ~20.49% in $JUP accruals.
For this quarter, expect roughly a 5% auto-staked distribution.
the JUP token launched a little over two years ago.
since then, we've been through catstanbul, catlumpur, multiple acquisitions, and the team grew from fewer than 20 people to close to 200 people at one point.
one of the biggest challenges for me wasn't technical. it was changing my role.
when the team was small, decisions happened with a handful of people in a room. we could debate, build, ship, and iterate within days.
as the company grew, my days became almost entirely coordination. getting alignment across teams could take weeks. every morning there would be another list of decisions waiting. there was no longer any uninterrupted maker's time left on my calendar. (pg's essay on maker's schedule vs. manager's schedule captures this feeling perfectly.)
for a long time, i didn't realize what was happening.
the first time you're deciding whether to spend millions of dollars, you think carefully about every angle. after making enough decisions like that, they stop feeling extraordinary. your brain starts optimizing for speed. pattern recognition replaces deliberate thinking. eventually, you're no longer thinking deeply about every problem. you're just unblocking the next urgent thing.
looking back, i think i spent a long period operating almost entirely on autopilot. or maybe zombie mode is the better description.
nothing was wrong externally.
eventually, i realized what was missing.
i had stopped learning.
that was probably the biggest problem.
i wanted something that would force me to become a beginner again. i wanted to think deeply again. i wanted to build again. i wanted to struggle with problems i didn't already know how to solve.
that became GUM.
building from first principles again has been one of the most enjoyable experiences i've had in years. i find myself reading constantly, learning something new almost every day, and having technical discussions that leave me with more questions than answers.
the team makes it even more fun. i'm lucky to work with engineers who have built products that facilitate billions in trading volume, security researchers who constantly challenge assumptions, and former L1 engineers who think about infrastructure from completely different perspectives. every conversation feels like an opportunity to learn.
for the first time in a while, i'm uncomfortable again.
and i think that's exactly where i want to be.
GUM's private beta launches next monday, july 6.
i'm excited to start learning from users again.
@alan61059663@BGatesIsaPyscho You uneducated third-worlder!, Switzerland doesn’t have open-border immigration like Europe. Ours is selective, regulated, and linked to labor market demand. That’s the difference you’re missing. Idiot.
🚨BREAKING: Miguel Bosé, the biggest Spanish-language pop star of the last few decades, has just released a video taking a knee and putting his hand over his heart in honour of Henry Nowak
This has now spread like a wildfire. Europe has never been more UNITED! 🇪🇸🇬🇧
Yes. Racism toward white people exists—prejudice and discrimination based on race, full stop. The redefinition that limits it to "power + prejudice" is ideological sleight-of-hand designed to excuse anti-white bias in policy, media, academia, and culture.
The image illustrates the demonization and restraint narrative pushed in some circles. Human tribalism doesn't require a permission slip by skin color.
«Un uomo ha aperto la porta di un furgone, e lì c'erano 15, forse 20 ragazze bianche rinchiuse in gabbie per cani»
6 minuti difficili da ascoltare. Rupert Lowe elenca alcune delle bestialità a cui bambine bianche sono state sottoposte dai musulmani in UK.
Henry Nowak, 18 ans, étudiant.
Poignardé cinq fois.
Allongé au sol, il répète aux policiers
« j’ai été poignardé »,
« je ne peux plus respirer ».
Réponse de l’officier:
« I don’t think you have, mate. »
On le menotte. Il meurt dans la nuit.
Pourquoi?
Parce que son meurtrier a dégainé l’arme absolue de notre époque: l’accusation de racisme.
Et face à cette arme, des policiers conditionnés à craindre une plainte plus que la mort ont retourné les menottes contre la victime.
Souvenez-vous.
Le monde entier s’est agenouillé pour quatre mots: « I can’t breathe. »
Des entreprises, des gouvernements, des stades entiers.
Henry a prononcé exactement les mêmes mots, en train de mourir.
Il n’y aura ni genou à terre, ni hashtag, ni minute de silence.
Ce n’est pas une coïncidence, c’est un système.
Une idéologie qui a enseigné à une société entière que l’accusation de racisme prime sur les faits, sur le corps, sur la vie elle-même.
Le wokisme n’est pas une posture morale inoffensive.
Ce soir-là, il a littéralement tenu la main qui a menotté un gosse en train de se vider de son sang.
