Something I've been thinking about with DeFi recently is how you could use yield farming & staking to diversify your investments across L1s / L2s while making some money along the way

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
Say you're bullish on @0xPolygon, but you also don't want to stop buying into Ethereum.

Well one option would be to move some money over to the Polygon network, buy a combination of Matic and Ether, provide those as liquidity on @SushiSwap, and then stake your LP tokens.
By doing this you're buying a combination of Ether / Matic so you have upside if either or both go up.

You also have some hedge if one goes up but the other doesn't.

And you're earning Sushi / Matic along the way by providing liquidity to SushiSwap.
The MATIC/ETH stake on Sushi on Polygon right now is earning ~100% annualized.

It probably won't stay that high, but even if it's 10-20% that's some bonus upside you can earn for holding tokens you were interested in anyway.

Especially if you're bullish on Sushi (I am).
Not investment advice and do your own research of course.

Obviously there are other platform risks and such, but this is a neat way to get some extra upside and get more involved in DeFi pretty passively.

And it's fun to watch your numbers in @vfat12 and @zapper_fi

Alright, so, time for a VERY painful story about how in my excitement about learning solidity yesterday I made a mistake that let someone steal $30,000 from me.

When you're doing Solidity development, you need some way to interface with the network to deploy contracts, the easiest way being through MetaMask.

So, mistake 1, I used my normal MetaMask account to get set up.
Then in order to deploy anything, you need to have your MetaMask seed mnemonic in your code somewhere so you can sign the deploy, etc.

For any non-crypto people: you need to put a bank password in your code.

And I used a bank account with money in it.

So... is there a baby formula that isn't full of industrial seed oils?

Because I started doing research and wow this is not good.
Here's a list of the "8 best baby formulas" that pops up when you search for "best baby formula"

Every single one has at least one type of seed oil, and many have corn syrup as well:

Here's another guide focused on organic, "safe" baby formula.

Aaaand it's all seed oil again:

Okay I rather like this response to mine and ⁦@jeffnobbs⁩ articles.

They’re kinda gentle on the canola oil part, but still pretty fair.

Either way getting mentioned in GQ is cool. gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/arti…
Always worth remembering though that Crisco came out in 1910 and trans fats weren’t outlawed till the 2000s.

Awareness of how bad things are for us takes a very long time if you don’t use heuristics or understand what’s going on at a mechanistic level.
And writers like me have very little to gain by shitting on Oatly so much.

We just want people to stop hurting themselves and their children.

There are now two versions:

"Just the basics" and the full course.

Both include 2.5 hours of brand new content on learning Roam from "Roam in a Day" filmed a couple weeks ago!
Check them out here! effortlessoutput.com
All previous buyers have all the new content. You should have an email about it!

Hey everyone, I've been kind of hard on BitClout the last few days.

But I looked into it more and realized it's actually a really incredible opportunity.

Let me explain πŸ‘‡
BitClout lets you buy a creator's "coin" so you can invest in their future growth.

Just deposit a little Bitcoin and you can buy BitClout, then use that BitClout to buy some of my coin!

bitclout.com/u/nateliason
What makes it extra cool is that when you buy some of my coin I get more BitClout.

So by promoting BitClout and encouraging you to sign up, I'm getting more of this new crypto asset.

I don't even have to put any money in!

Forget the edit button, Twitter should have a "stop spread" option on tweets.

It's perfect for when that half-baked tweet you sent after a few glasses of wine is getting way more reach than you expected and you want it to stop, but you don't want to delete it.
I've noticed that most tweets that do well go through a sort of cycle:

1. People who follow you and "get you" like and respond
2. People who they reach respond and engage
3. It keeps spreading to people who have no idea who you are and just want to dunk on randos
Something spreading can feel fun in the beginning then quickly become very unfun.

Especially since negative sentiment seems to spread faster than positive sentiment.
