Late to the party, but after a couple of 4+ hour road trips and a few weeks around town, the Tesla Y with FSD 14+ is incredible.
Someone said it recently: it’s like going from black and white to color TV.
And when you drive a regular car again, even if it’s a “better” car, you still feel dumb having to drive yourself.

This is an utter failure of the US regulatory apparatus.
Coinbase and several other regulation-first companies have been trying for nearly a decade to offer licensed derivatives in the US.

Thrilled to announce Farcaster will be moving to OP Mainnet.
Many of our most active users & developers are building on the OP Stack across OP Mainnet, Base & Zora.
We’re also excited about Optimism’s strong commitment to open source & OP Mainnet identity initiatives like EAS.

It’s astonishing to me that landing and re-using rockets like this went from far off science fiction to business as usual so rapidly.
Amazing what a determined group of people willing to ignore the haters, pundits and cynics can accomplish.

Introducing cryptoless-but-onchain onboarding for Farcaster
Starting today, Warpcast allows anyone with an iOS device to sign up for Farcaster without a pre-existing wallet or any crypto.
Just a few taps with Passkeys and in-app purchases. All 1.4 billion iOS users can use this without any extra work.
No backing up a mnemonic or buying crypto and waiting for it to bridge. In fact, users who sign up don't even know that their Farcaster account is on a blockchain.
Yet every user has the power of a *user-controlled* BIP39 mnemonic and Ethereum wallet under the hood.

My ideal individual bank account:
- Everything can be accomplished on mobile without talking to someone on the phone
- ACH, wire and USDC payments
- Ramp / Privacy-style virtual credit cards for everything with cash back
- Auto classify all outgoing payments regardless of payment method into categories
- Default account is checking but best in class yield
- Add a read only and tee up payment for approval accounts
- Passkey and/or Yubikey 2FA (no SIM swap risk)
- Ability to send a link to a vendor for them fill out payment information for an invoice (vs. the reverse)

I often get introduced to people looking to make the jump into startups and Silicon Valley. This is the reading list I send them.
It’s meant to be a primer for many of the popular concepts and jargon you will hear working at a startup.

Why Base building on Farcaster matters
Bigger audience
All posts can reach more people without having to sign up for another app or social network. More chances to go viral. (And we don't deboost links!)
Larger market for developers
Coinbase Wallet's large existing userbase can easily use frames and complete onchain transactions with their embedded wallet. Ship a frame and immediately go live in multiple apps with several million Ethereum wallets.
Increased choice
Coinbase Wallet will offer people another great option to use Farcaster and increases decentralization.

We’re thrilled the Base team is building a Farcaster feed into Coinbase Wallet!
By building a frame, developers will now be able to tap into the 800,000+ Ethereum wallets on Farcaster—and millions of Coinbase Wallet users.
Go viral onchain.

The easiest way to use @Polymarket is now on Farcaster.
- Works in the mobile app with a wallet you already have

A lot of public and private conversations over the last 18 months about how FTX was eating Coinbase's lunch. Very similar to 2017 with Poloniex and Bittrex.
It may be unsexy, but making incremental forward product progress in a regulated way seems like the optimal strategy?

Introducing Farcaster Actions
Farcaster Actions are like Chrome Extensions for a social network.

An increasing number of people who are described as being “based in Silicon Valley” no longer actually live in Silicon Valley. This had been happening for awhile—and then suddenly accelerated with COVID.
Silicon Valley is now a mindset and economy located on the Internet.
