@offgridcash @mango_ @juliusonchain I can try

[@bytes032.xyz @bytes032]

Querying contract variables through @etherscan is tough and impractical.

https://t.co/vjMSaG8rZY just revolutionized smart contract storage queries, for techies & non-techies alike.

By the end of this thread, Etherscan storage queries will be history 🧵

AI-generated QR codes using ControlNet are insane.

This is going to be increasingly common in ads in the near future.

These examples blew my mind (try scanning them):

Suspecting the main culprit is @TrustWallet

[AVA 🦄 @zkSnarkETH]

It appears that my private key, which I never shared or saved anywhere, has been compromised. Several losses. 😭

I'm able to attest that I never disclosed the key. Nor I am the victim of social engineering or phishing.

Here is what happened :

[AVA 🦄 @zkSnarkETH]

Yesterday evening: I opened @TrustWallet
After few minutes: Got a notification of transfer of BNB from my wallet ( I was away from my phone )
After few minutes : Cake was redeemed and transferred
After few minutes: Few ido tokens ( gamezone ) was unstaked and then transferred

You have money but you’re still the same

[Route 2 FI @Route2FI]

Here are some Sunday thoughts based on a conversation I had with some friends yesterday:

Why don't the people who've really made it for life just stop being in crypto?

Why spend so much time in front of the computer if you don't have to?

One answer is that the perception of money changes as your net worth goes up.

When you reach $100K, you want $500K.

And when you get to $500K, you want $1M.

Then you want $5M, $10M, $50M, $100M, $1B, etc.

This is called hedonic adoption.

When you make more money, expectations, and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness.

Also, if you've heard about IKIGAI you may be able to understand why very wealthy people don't leave the crypto space.

Ikigai means "a reason for being" and crypto can fill all 4 circles:

1. What they're good at

2. What they can be paid for (eg. a good trader)

3. What they love (naturally becomes a love when you have the skill that makes you money and people admire you for it)

4. What the world needs (can be argued, but a lot of them are teaching others how they can reach the same)

The mental health issues that can occur when you have great wealth are:

-a feeling of isolation from the rest of society

-the feeling of only being loved by their friends, partner & kids because of money

-money obsession (every decision is taken out from a money perspective)

-a feeling of emptiness because life is "too easy"

-lacking meaning because you don't need ordinary work

Not everyone who pursues money, however, experiences lowered well-being.

For whom, then, does the pursuit of financial success lead to negative outcomes?

I think the negative outcomes are more likely to come when you make the money game as a part of your everyday life.

Spending most of your waking hours checking crypto prices, researching new investment opportunities, and basically ignoring the normal life around you.

It's a little bit ironic because I realize that I may have a problem myself. There's no doubt that I have become very obsessive with my investments during the last couple of years.

Lately, I've also been having trouble defining some new goals for myself. What once was a steady journey in stock market index funds turned my life upside down in a lucky bet with leverage in March 2020 and buying Ethereum at the right time in the summer of 21' as a trade.

I'm nowhere as rich as the crypto OG's, but wealth is relative and I'm happy with where I am.

But after I quit my 9-5 job 2,5 years ago I've seen friends less, spent more time with crypto, and in general lived less healthily. It has become a little obsessive.

I think we all can agree that beyond a certain point, we can't buy more happiness.

You have to find your enough, and no one can give you that number.

Isn't the goal just to become free and get your time back?

Because what makes you rich and unique is not the possessions you have, but how you have lived.

It’s in the stories you’ve collected, the lives you have touched.

It’s in the memories you have to take with you.

The way I see it is that when you finally make it in crypto, you realize that it wasn't what you wanted in the first place.

You have money, but you're still the same.

Make sure to have more goals in life than money goals, otherwise, it's easy to end up getting depressed.

But that's for another day.

AI prompting is the next biggest skill to learn.

Companies are now paying up to $335,000/year for Prompt Engineers.

Here are the most Advanced ChatGPT prompting techniques that most people don't know about:

[Emperor Osmo 🐂 🎯 @Flowslikeosmo]

Everyone buys into hot tokens to make 100x.

But no one wants to be dumped on by VCs, Influencers or the Devs.

I show you how to use @DefiLlama to make sure you don't. 🧵

[AVA 🦄 @zkSnarkETH]

@ThinkingBitmex You caught me!
But I also have 100x short 1000 BTC and 68x short ETH on Binance.
Help me by liquidating my GMX longs 😉

[Pendle @pendle_fi]

Earning yield from $158,957 with $10,000? That's yesterday's news.

This Pendle user just one-upped by spending less, earning more 🔥

With just $9,880, 0x733 is now earning yield from $182,400, leveraging capital 18x with no liquidation risks.

Here's how 🧵

[AVA 🦄 @zkSnarkETH]

@BillyM2k Oh, you don’t need to fight them - You just need to convince the torch people that the pitchfork people want to take away their torch.

[elvis @omarsar0]

New chatbot just dropped!

Vicuna-13B - an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on ~70K user-shared ChatGPT conversations.

Claims to achieve "more than 90%* quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90%* of cases".

Seems possible to run it on your own machine with a single GPU.
