@SteveGuest There's almost zero antisemitism on the left, quite a bit with libs. Defending Palestine's cause, pointing out how many civilians genocidal IDF killed, quoting the settlement stats, talking about the fact of ethnic cleansing aren't antisemitism.

Solana down once a week. Arbitrum down once a month & exiting takes a week. Polygon reorgs every 3 days. I haven't heard Ethereum, Avalanche or Luna being down for a really long time. Does anyone remember the last time either of them went down?.

There is not a single ETH maxi that actively/publicly campaigned for PoW to be BANNED. But there are dozens of public BTC maxi figures who requested US gov't to designate ETH as security. This "plead w/ authority" boomerism makes maxis think everyone acts like themselves.

@StandWithUs This is a lie. According to the LA police, he attacked the protestors and fell backward, hitting his head on the ground. Even in the video you yourself shared, you can see a pro-Palestinian protestor trying to check if he's fine.

CENTS by @sovrnart is a conceptual play on materiality and value. I find this collection unique, I don't think something like this exists on ordinals. Rather than cutting short, let me share the long text of my opinion here.

@OwenJones84 @JamesKroeger5 1. You may still be right, but. 2. Everything can be faked. 3. IDF has been the most unreliable org in the last 2 months, with dozens of debunked lies (they themselves deleted their claims). 4. Journalistic practice requires skepticism towards parties that consistently lie.

So @dmitricherniak first copies @NickKuder's "Rings" collection, calls it "Ringers", becomes popular because art-clueless influencers pump Ringers as an original & then pushes Nick out of a @Sothebys auction. I always found Dmitri too arrogant for his talent, but this is too far
I learned late last night that another artist pressured @Sothebys to pull my piece from their Natively Digital auction. Disappointment doesn't fully capture how I feel right now. I began Rings Genesis as a personal project and started sharing it on Instagram in February of 2019.

I had high hopes from zk rollups but isn't using your own token for gas is sort-of vampire attacking on your own ecosystem?. People attacked @el33th4xor for saying that L2s will eventually become parasitic; but he seems to be getting confirmed over and over.
StarkNet using its native token for gas instead of eth. Would be ironic if StarkNet eventually spins off to its own L1 eco when they realize they can raise a higher valuation that way. Unlikely, but never know with these incentives.

What's more likely? . 1 - small group of AI engineers at @deepseek_ai figures out how to beat all of the top researchers in the world as a side project. 2 - Chinese government has 100k GPUs they shouldn't have and releases open source models claiming $6m training cost as a psyop.

For ~1 month, I've been researching and writing an article that explores the term "NFT" & its spirit. The article became much bigger than I originally imagined as I had feedbacks and contributions from the devs, the artists & the collectors I respected.

Today, one of the most innovative drops of this year (IMHO) is minting. "the metro" by @intartnft is a fully on-chain, EVM-generated, evolving, and programmable crypto-art collection. Their design is inspired by gradually growing metro maps around the world.

Two answers to this question. 1/1: An early XCOPY. Not sure which one(s). Overall: Shockingly, the RAREPEPE token, the first Rare Pepe, the Nakamoto Card doesn't have an image anymore. Hosting expired, the URL link is dead. Owners don't own the card, they own an empty token.
What is the highest valued token that lost its image?. A token that once had an image but doesn't anymore. Forget onchain art, this token doesn't even have a URL with an image. A blank, empty, expensive token. Which token is it?. 🤫 if you're on the purple app or on Pushers.

Something extremely cool quietly happened in the NFT space a few days ago. @0xthedude (from @intartNFT) and @xtremetom (from @coolcats) deployed “scripty.sol”. This thing is a game-changer. A new standard for on-chain composable experiences and interoperability. 🧵

I saw this DM today. Pls don’t buy AVAX because of my tweets. I own very little. The reason I defend Avalanche is:. a) As a tech maxi, I think it has novel tech. "Copy-paste" comments are unfair. b) Angering maxis is just too entertaining, even when my bagz are 90% in ETH.

@RyanSAdams Two big minuses IMHO:. 1. 256gb RAM & 1gbps internet connection minimum requirement to run a Solana node. And gets worse as the ecosystem grows. 2. They're the only network quoting internal messages as "transactions" to inflate the numbers for marketing. A bit cheeky IMHO.

There’s a genuine collector type that is scaled with NFTs:. Those who have some money but aren't rich, enjoy collecting art but are more mindful when minting & buying. They aren't flippers but they want to ensure they can cash out if urgently needed.

Needless to say, Chaos Roads holders are not only allowlisted for the Crimson Echo drop, but their Echo will change depending on their Chaos Road's dynamic and programmable entropy. Crimson Echo's story is forever intertwined to Chaos Roads.
