Call it a personal rebrand more than a content pivot.
The timing of X changing creator revenue was just the excuse I needed to do something I was already thinking about.
I never really wanted to become a content creator.
I just narrowed the account to reach the right audience, and ended up enjoying some of it.
So Iāll keep the parts I genuinely like.
My current PFP is a Weirdo made with the @ftw_collective generator.
I love the culture around the collection, and cool people like @farellis_ wearing one definitely helps.
I might even make a real Weirdo my first Ordinal, even though Iāve never really been convinced by Ordinals.
Because everything has always been about the culture.
a16z Crypto is now a16z Frontier.
Theyāre not leaving crypto. Theyāre expanding into AI, autonomous machines and other emerging tech because, in their words, the ācrypto companyā label matters less when blockchains disappear into the product.
Maybe crypto winning eventually means we stop calling everything crypto and simply use the tech.
Iāve recently been testing a live PokĆ©mon card scanner built purely for fun and science.
Somewhere between real-time vision and instant object recognition, I realized I might actually be building quality-of-life upgrades for future T-800s.
Sorry, humanity.
If you still have funds on Mint Blockchain, the withdrawal deadline is tomorrow, October 20.
The chain shut down in April, but ETH, WBTC, USDC and USDT can still be moved back to Ethereum through the official withdrawal channel.
After the deadline, the team says remaining assets wonāt be recoverable.

Jāai entendu dire que la France Ć©tait finie, quāil Ć©tait trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable mĆŖme. Sa grandeur nāa pas disparu, elle ne demande quāĆ renaĆ®tre.
Nous avons surmontĆ© en un an un problĆØme cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
The new @Tesla Roadster is already absurd enough on paper, but the Rocket version takes it much further.
With @SpaceX-inspired thrusters, it can literally lift itself off the ground, fly over cars and pull ridiculous maneuvers in the air.
Do we need this? Absolutely not.
Is it completely absurd? Probably.
Is it one of the coolest engineering flexes Iāve seen in a while? Absolutely.
Anyway, somewhere in Brussels, the European Union is probably already drafting a 600-page regulation for it.
Ledger unveils Atom right after the recent compromised-wallet incident.
Physical tamper detection and initially sold only through Ledgerās own website.
Completely unrelated timing, Iām sure.
Anyway, nice coincidence.
Hey @Ledger hereās the secret : traceability and transparency.
If hardware wallets are supposed to protect us from compromised hardware, maybe we should be able to actually see theā¦ hardware.
A fully transparent wallet where the PCB, Secure Element, battery, display connections and every critical component are visible by design.
Then make the device itself verifiable with cryptographic attestation, a unique hardware identity, tamper-evident construction and a physical history that makes any opening or modification immediately detectable.
The goal isnāt to make hardware transparent for aesthetics.
Itās to make tampering harder to hide.
If someone modifies it, there should be physical and cryptographic evidence.
A hardware wallet shouldnāt need to be a black box to protect secrets and maybe the safest box is the one with nothing to hide.
Binance is shutting down Binance Pool on November 10.
Mining pool, cloud mining, pool savings, transaction accelerator. All gone.
Kind of wild to watch the biggest crypto exchange leave mining behind while expanding into stocks, AI and basically everything else.
Times are changing.
The NFT marketplace wars are basically over.
Blur is killing its frontend next month.
Magic Eden already pulled out of EVM + Bitcoin and retreated to Solana.
Meanwhile @opensea survived the entire marketplace war, expanded to Solana and is still standing.
At this point, just celebrate the victory by technical KO.
Finish the job and launch $SEA.

GM @DogeOS @MyDogeCEO @hoffdogg š
Been building a little standalone AI pet called Shibagent.
He lives on your desktop, reacts to what youāre doing, understands the Doge ecosystem and will be able to actually act as an agent, not just sit there looking cute.
Is this cool enough ?
Papertrade just launched on HyperEVM with possibly the most degen token distribution Iāve seen in a while.
$PAPER started with zero supply.
No premine, no team or VC allocation.
The only way new $PAPER gets minted is when traders lose money or get liquidated.
Crypto finally found a way to tokenize getting rekt.
Relay is retiring its Vaults.
And honestly, it doesnāt change how I see the project.
Relay is the perfect example of a crypto product that is justā¦ useful.
No unnecessary complexity.
No endless features nobody asked for.
You need to move assets cross-chain, Relay gets it done.
Simple. Fast. Efficient.
Whatever comes next for the Vaults, Iām sure thereās a plan behind the decision and I fully trust the @RelayProtocol team to execute.
Sometimes the best crypto products are simply the ones that work.
