This looks great, going to play around with it when I get home.

Does it still present the fundraising banners?
Facebook is a blight on society, even in the United States and UK you can feel it’s impact.
It is designed to reinforce existing beliefs and preferences in order to increase engagement.
In this case the beliefs were virulently racists and bigoted, and the engagement was usually done with a machete.
I was living in Bangladesh while this was happening and ended up volunteering at one of the refugee camps. The people there were very aware that the mobs were being organized on Facebook.
Later while working in Bangkok I had a colleague from Myanmar who’s entire family was murdered as they tried to flee across the border to Thailand.
People have been talking about this for years and Facebook absolutely needs to be held accountable along with the pieces of shit running that poor country.
In all serious though, my family does not age well and I have actively thought about this as an end of life option vs decades of mental degredation.
I doubt it will ever be available in the United States.
Minting is the first step in the process.
All of these projects have hundreds of million to billions in tvl and have been running fine for years.
Dexes are the backbone of the defi community and share very little in common with centralized exchanges.
I am by no means an expert, although if I was younger and still in school it would be my area of focus.
There is a lot of effort being made to discredit web3 because existing players are aware that it means a loss of control.
Even during yesterday’s crash I was able to execute trades at reasonable gas prices (<$1).
I’ve developed a couple of dapps that run on polygon, and while the docs could use some love the overall experience was pretty frictionless.
Crypto.com now supports deposit/withdraw directly to polygon making it possible to skip ETH altogether.
For bridging I recommend Relay if you are setting up on a new chain for the first time, then xpollinate for later transfers of just stables. Fees are super low to go from L2 to L2 these days.
Rabby is a really nice web wallet the replaces metamask and supports all the L2 chains by default, built by the guys at debank.
What I think it really boils down to is that web3 represents a shift away from the centralized dystopian organizations that employ most of the people in this community.
Pinterest is a great example of how organizations put business interests ahead of building an accessible web.
Many projects start as clones of that repo.
As far as use cases are concerned the best source of information has been and always will be the community itself.
All reputable projects produce white papers and they are usually more than happy to discuss questions and concerns in their community discords / telegram.
Some of the largest companies on the planet are actively opposed to this concept. If you care about this kind of thing champion it from within your own organization.
Kind of hard to recognize a problem when your salary is dependent on propagating it.
If you want more mature examples of this structure in the wild I would start with pancakeswap ($4b market cap) and apeswap ($500m market cap).
It incentivizes investors to buy and hold instead attempting to trade the asset and create unwanted volatility.
It can also raise funds through a small fee structure that can be applied on deposit of non-native token pools.
People’s willingness to speak confidently from a position of ignorance always surprises me.
I don’t know what world you live in, but it’s like you guys believe there is some kind of ethics or moral high ground in sneering at something you barely understand.
Its for a game with play-to-earn mechanics, still early phase but they just made a ton of big hires.
Just consulted on a project that was able to raise $20m on their own through a yield farm and is using it to build out their product team and do tons of marketing.
Defi is the future, anyone who doesn’t see that is being willfully ignorant.
They managed to book a hotel, but it was an awkward 2 hours to say the least while they called around.
What really set me off was that the door code was just completely public, so anyone that had stayed there in the past who knows how long could just walk right in.
Airbnb is a shit show and a huge step backwards in the name of progress.
Not even touching how they have royally fucked the renters markets in a lot of areas.
Last Airbnb I booked resulted in a elderly Hispanic couple walking in on my SO and I in the act because apparently they double booked us by a couple days and use the same door code for all guests.
Just another example of a tech darling “disrupting” an existing industry by ignoring regulation and refusing to provide customer service.
