Particularly with the events going on in Iran right now, I think these kinds of tools would be more relevant than ever before.
Should be ready for beta testing in a week or 2. Very excited!
#Tezos folks - @joesimon.bsky.social has been hard at work for building @teia.bsky.social's on-chain messaging system.
Fully on-chain, censorship/misinformation resistant, no databases/gatekeepers - fully decentralized and communicates directly wallet to wallet.

As that once famous person (whos name escapes me) once said, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets the credit.
And something interesting comes up in this comparative analysis - is uranium the dark horse in the precious metals race right now? $XU308 is one of the few (if not only) crypto assets that is actually generating a return right now.
How is crypto doing - especially in relation to other assets like gold, silver, oil, stocks? A holistic view of the markets as whole.
Did my usual market analysis in video form on @tradingwiev.bsky.social today. I used to do a lot of these a few years ago and even got Editor's Pick a few times.

The idea here is mostly to gather creatives and smart people into the same room, let them run the place and see what happens. Can artists/intellectuals come together and fix society's biggest problems? If nothing else, it should be an interesting experiment, either way.

Despite what the theme sounds like on the surface, we're looking this event to be an optimistic rather than depressing one - with the emphasis on the creative sides of creative destruction. So uh...excuse the "mess", but hope itself is very messy.
Our goal for this year's Tezcon is to make it a very "open" event where the local meets the global - so it'll be a blend of local creatives from the Seattle area and a showcase of some of the best talents on the Tezos art and tech scenes happening at the same time.
Tezcon Seattle 2026 - 07/11/26 at the Hiawatha Artists Lofts! We're starting promos early this year so mark it in your calendars!

Be fearful when people are greedy, be greedy when people are fearful, as they say.
Now is the best time to make big moves, and I am not even joking. ๐
12/ That's the slop-on-slop world we currently live in today.
11/ Well, there is one good thing about the slop that's around - I can just take AI images like these freely, without having to worry about pesky things like IP or copyright..."information wants to be free", amirite? Though to me, when I hear "free", I hear "cheap".
10/ Someone's going to have to replace the thing when it comes all crashing down. It's really only a matter of time...
9/ The stuff we make on @TeiaCommunity will do the simple things that nobody bothered to do. I've been criticized in the past for taking the whole on-chain thing "too far" but it's becoming very apparent now that it wasn't taken far enough.
8/ But the race to the bottom has gotten so bad to the point where we're starting to see the whole model collapse from underneath after decades of neglect - short-term thinking at its finest, really. Well, no matter.
7/ Most places - whether it was publications, tech platforms, VCs, government entities, big corporations - they all failed to address the "fake news" problem in a meaningful way because they were making money from slop monetization so they didn't see any reason to innovate or adapt.
6/ Bot traffic, fake news, illegal activity, AI-generated slop - they all just serve to pad their numbers for advertiser dollars, after all.
5/ Web2's business models are designed to incentivize volume (clicks, likes, shares, etc.), not quality - and the whole tech industry just let that system run amok for the last 10-20 years.
4/ The tech to do this (NFTs) have been around for a while and wouldn't actually be all that hard to set up. The problem?
3/ So there is actually a solution to this problem already there - which is to use blockchain-based content management systems to validate the origins and authenticity of every post - so trusted sources can "sign off" on "real" content that they produce and the reader can have reassurance that the c
2/ People used to call these things "fake news" but the problem has gotten so normalized at this point I think people just gave up and resigned to the fact that we live in a "post-truth" world now.

So we're now living in a time where half the users on social media sites are bots, and most of the content you see online are either misinformation or AI-generated and you have *no idea* whether what you're seeing is real
My safe space is #Japan where a minister holds a press conference apologizing for being 5 minutes late to a meeting.
Boggles the mind how she figured all this out before reaching 18. ๐คฏ
Art is the same way. Notice that even this emoji has two faces - one laughing, one crying. Meaning is found in expression, not "happiness". (Which doesn't even mean anything, if you think about it.)
