I admit I was wrong on Runes.I thought they were one of the most fun crypto native innovations this cycle in a market dominated by tradfi and macro narratives.Memecoins on Bitcoin? Fungible tokens were supposed to be impossible on BTC and yet they were.Casey, the creator of Runes, said he wanted to bring speculation, gambling and fun to Bitcoin.Not so fun losing money. Maybe the bounce is not coming.But beyond speculation, Runes could have added more fees, more developers and more users to Bitcoin while kee ...

RT fabiano.sol (@FabianoSolana)Today, I asked over 100 students (10-12y) at my school to place a sticker on their favorite pictureI guess there's a clear winner... https://t.co/F2665jxmPh ...

Gnosis have been playing with futarchy since years now.Optimism tried but seems they never continued? Wonder why?https://t.co/2Ip5YpHRjpOptimism (@Optimism):Optimism ran one of the first real-world experiments with Futarchy, where decisions were made through structured (play money) forecasts of measurable outcomes.Here’s what happened ↓ https://t.co/ow4VAeK2dr ...

Beautiful example of prediction markets revolutionizing DAOs.Should GnosisDAO fund Gnosis Ltd with $30M per year?Prediction market priced YES at 115 vs NO at 99, meaning GNO up 13% if passed.It passed. GNO pumped.As Scroll shuts down its DAO, Uniswap DAO ignores $UNI holders, and others move towards centralization, the old model needs change.Futarchy isn’t new.Vitalik’s been pushing it for years. But with prediction markets growing, it’s time DAOs experiment.‘Vote on values, bet on outcomes.’ Markets decide ...

Wen $MASK? Stay tuned.Since 2021.We really need to know why the waited so long.Regulation? Bad market? https://t.co/v5405e3Y1U ...

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)In a twisted way X algo works, I ended up buying $ZEC.First I saw @0xMert_ mention he holds ZEC. I engaged with the post.Then the algo started feeding me more $ZEC content, especially from @ssaintleger who is a big bull.At the same time I was posting about privacy and zk tech like @payy_link.The algo connected the dots: Ignas likes privacy, crypto, zk → Ignas must like $ZEC.ZEC is a dinosaur coin from 2016 with confidential transactions as the main pitch.At $822M market cap it is ...

@0xMert_ @ssaintleger This post is more than just me buying $ZEC.It is a lesson on how narratives form. Random posts from random accounts at the right moment can start something bigger.I only bought a small amount, mostly to track the thesis and see if there is money to be made. ...

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)I've stopped reading crypto native media* over the years since usually their main stories are wrapped X posts.So my feed is mostly X and blogs.Yet, it's fascinating how mainstream media, and Bloomberg in particular, caught up with crypto.Years ago, Bloomberg's crypto coverage was rare and full of mistakes.It still sub-par, but now they cover our 'fringe' stories like Hyperliquid stablecoin wars and actually manage to give some insight that I miss elsewhere.*I still like DLnews as ...

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)If you made 7+ figures in crypto trading, with memecoins, airdrop farming, yields etc...Have you had any problems cashing out to your banks? Did they ask for special AML documents, source of funds etc?If yes, what was the process in your country. https://t.co/ZU1bGX4uXe ...
