I respect Bitcoin and Ethereum, but I’m enthralled with Cosmos (both the tech and the community).
This is where I’m placing my attention for the next few years (at a minimum).
The recent SA-CORE-2018-004 and SA-CORE-2018-002 security advisories have sparked a lot of conversations in the Drupal community regarding all things security. IMHO, it's important to highlight several talking points to keep things in perspective.

He wants an audit from people he trusts.
Also, it might help set expectations around team and company norms. I imagine there will be a few meetings to get that ball rolling.
Crypto scams by project percentage: 90%
(this is why the skeptics won't touch the space)
Crypto scams by total market cap: 10%
(this is why the supporters think the industry is fine)
Love the Cosmos ecosystem, but, not going to lie… feels like a lot of growing pains.
* Evmos halt
* Juno prop 16, then halt
* Terra implosion
* No stablecoin alternatives on AMMs
Lots of smart, hard working people so I know this will pass. Just a lot at once
When you need to feel humble, remember:
You are a dot in infinity
You are a wavelength in eternity
No need to be fatalistic, but don’t take everything too seriously.
Even if the air drop didn't happen, this

podcast with the $ENS team has made me excited about the broader implications of the

team, protocol, and DAO.
LFG 🚀🚀🚀
We need more of this.
Two people, willing to step into the arena not necessarily to convince, but to understand each other (with dignity and respect).
Proud of
@JeffHarryPlays
, who once again inspires me to keep reaching out and searching for common humanity. 🙏🏻
I just had an AMAZING conversation with a progressive and
#BlackLivesMatter
activist and we didn't yell at each other or call each other names and actually found a lot of common ground. Thank you
@JeffHarryPlays

I love

to succeed because it will continue to push the envelope of Zero Knowledge Proofs/tech. Will will be the only way we will guarantee true privacy in the public chains.

What happens when you analyze the metadata of 4,000 NFTs owned by

You find a tremendous amount of variability in the storage, media type, and metadata structure.

I thought the same at first, but it’s the equivalent of a standard 20% recruiter fee on a 250k salary.
Still, very generous to open up to the network vs a recruiter!
The odd feeling. I had a recurring reminder to call my grandma on Fridays. It was my ritual to just check-in and say how much I loved her.
Since she passed, it's feels odd to keep her in my address book. At what point do you delete a loved ones phone number?
Did the right thing and delegated half my $juno to
@JoeAbbey
, who has been an absolute beast on the research and data visualization work for the community.
This is huge.
Old way: bridge tokens to different chains containing different dapps.
New way: allow dapps to connect to tokens and dapps on other chains.
Instead of moving tokens to compute, we move compute to tokens.
Great chatting with

TLDR: You can build a Cosmos app chain & have

Read 20+ books in 2019, and the one that challenged my worldview the most was "The Coddling of the American Mind" by

and

This was solid. My TL;DR
* Saying YES is divergent, helping you find opportunities.
* Saying NO is convergent, focusing you on the winning opportunities.
Add hard work and consistency, and you convert short-term income into long-term wealth.
I'm an imperfect person trying to be better.
I'm ignorant of so much, but trying to learn.
I have complex and sometimes inconsistent beliefs and views of the world, and I'm trying to find a way to untangle them.
I'm a work in progress, and I always will be.
Congrats to

My original thinking around NFTs has changed greatly. But I think the podcast where
@cdixon
described them as a new primitive (similar in how a web page can be anything) is when it changed how I viewed them.
@TrungTPhan
Reminds me of the quote:
> The most exciting sound in science is not "eureka!" but "wow that's weird".
Paying attention to unexpected outcomes/mistakes can lead to game-changing outcomes.
@paulg
I've found that they are different use cases.
Reply if I want to join the conversation with the person's community OR QT if I want to spark a conversation with my followers.
I get that most people use it for more malicious reasons... but I 50/50 mix both use cases.

@travismillerx13
Yeah no one pulls up that strongly and expects to win.
Even when he saw them gaining, he didn't try to speed back up.
Feels like he wanted to throw it.
Attend an open AA meeting and listen to at least 10 speakers, and you will never again question how crazy life can get before a rock bottom turn-around.
After you've seen enough shit in real life, you become a different type of gullible—and that's probably not even the right word.
Like, you can believe anything you read on the internet, not because you're naive, but because you've lived or first-hand observed something similar.
Your experience with NFTs change when you see them on a 4K display.
Just testing the initial

Storage + timestamping + oracle verification and boom... a true trusted history.
One of the beautiful things about cryptography + NFTs is the ability for multiple private keys to sign and attest different properties.
Love that

Don't wait for your friends and loved ones to reach to you.
Be the one that reaches out first. You'd be amazed at how much they've been waiting to share, but were just waiting for the right time.
Today is the right time.
@uTobian
A lot of people feel misunderstood or under appreciated. I genuinely like to learn about what makes them tick. Also believing and seeing in them what they can’t see/believe in themselves.
Just listened to the
@AIWayfinder
White Paper by using
@SpeechifyAI
on the PDF.
Highly recommend absorbing the content multiple times. The future is going to be insane.
If you’re not going to join me at

@BridgetPhetasy
for sharing her powerful fight with trauma and how it allowed her to be of service for another woman in need (listen to end of this episode). Intense...
This is such a subtle, but fantastic point.
No one can stop you from transacting in the network, but participants of the network can be penalized (off chain) for transacting with you.
To pick up the conversation from yesterday, I don't see how Bitcoin can be censorship-resistant if users can't use the chain privately. This seems obvious to me.

@EpsilonTheory
has an excellent article on this re:Private, Public, and Common knowledge.
Knowledge can be out in the open, but it's only when it is accepted as common knowledge that we can have adult conversations.
I love this so much.
Onchain data is great, but it's not always connected and/or linked together.

Hot take: Arweave market cap is under-priced by 10x.
NFA. I have no bags. But I may need to buy some ahead of time (as a user) before number-go-up and my costs 10x.
Not saying this is for everyone, but it works. My mom was the queen of garage sale arbitrage before the internet and made enough extra cash to make it worth it to our family.
Here’s how you can make a few thousand per month flipping shoes and bags (purses)
The beautiful part is you’ll know how much you can expect to make BEFORE you buy the shoes.

Overwhelmed with gratitude today while taking my daughter to the movies. Two years ago she lost nearly 100% of her hearing, but now (with hearing aids) it’s 100% back.
It’s easy to take something so simple for granted ❤️🙏🏻
The two greatest moments of joy in 2020:
1. Jan 1st: discovery we were pregnant again! ❤️❤️❤️
2. Meeting my 2nd, beautiful daughter for the 1st time 🥰
Currently enjoying paternity time with the 3 most important people in my life.

If you're willing. It adds to the Lore.
At some point, it would be amazing if the metadata included these like music liner notes. Sure, only the die hards would look or care, but those that do...
@anothercohen
It's not a matter of features. It's an industry that is conservative and optimizes for reliability/accuracy/consistency over all else.
You can bring alternatives to your CPA/accountant, but they'd prefer to migrate you into Quickbooks vs whatever you come with.
@antoniogm
Isn't it wonderful?
It'll go back to a baseline. I bet it's 5-7 years of repressed Tweets bursting out. Once people get their fix, they'll go back to being boring.
What if regenerating the planet had less to do with taxes and funding and more to do with incentives and coordination?

Thank you for writing this.
Lots of dads in the trenches alongside their wives, putting there all-in to make sure their kids have better lives.
The Tates of the world filled a vacuum when the world convinced men that all masculinity was toxic. But that’s not true at all.
If you can't be brilliant, try to not be stupid.
If you can't be a saint, try to not be a sinner.
If you can't improve a situation, try not to make it worse.
You don't need to hit home runs to win. Consistent base hits will do the trick.
Just try to minimize your errors.
Honestly this is fucking amazing.
