Ok interesting
Agentic payment volume (x402) on Base is up, to the right 📈. This isn't just more transactions, bigger ones too, with a $30 median. Real businesses providing services to users who expect their agents to have full autonomy. An agentic strategy is no-longer optional.

spending so much time online can make you forget how important it is to disconnect sometimes. no notifications, no deadlines, no endless scrolling. just a quiet trail, open landscapes and a moment to yourself. i think finding that balance is important. there's always something to build, something to learn and something to chase, but it's just as important to enjoy what's happening outside of it all. a little reminder to slow down every now and then.

from medicine and Olympic dancing to luxury jewelry and digital art. @DrCharlesButler has taken quite an unconventional path, bringing together creativity, craftsmanship and personal identity. we also get into why CryptoPunks can be valued as both art and personal expression. good conversation on @BlockwiseHQ.
Replying to @DrCharlesButler
@DrCharlesButler shares how he first got into Bitcoin back in 2013, when he was mining BTC on his home computer. He had no idea what those early coins would become. At the time, five Bitcoin didn't seem like much. A reminder of just how far crypto has come. What was your first experience with Bitcoin?

NFT valuations are harder than they look. @punk9059 talks about why rarity alone doesn't determine value, and how market dynamics, attention and collector behavior shape the NFT market. more on @BlockwiseHQ
“Undervalued or just unwanted?” @punk9059 breaks down why valuing NFTs is so difficult, and why market dynamics, collector behavior and attention matter more than traditional valuation models. What actually makes an NFT valuable?

the hardest part of crypto isn't finding opportunities. it's knowing which ones are worth your time.

"bitcoin is dead" was said by many, many times before. Those were also the best times to buy bitcoin. 🤷‍♂️

crypto is funny. you can spend hours researching a project and still get outperformed by someone who just got lucky.

some of you are not serious people. you shit on me because i said something that hurt your bags, then less than two weeks later, you're in my DMs calling me your "brother" and asking how we can work together (to benefit you, btw). have some dignity. you genuinely think i suffer from some sort of short-term memory loss??

the internet makes it easy to confuse being informed with actually understanding something. you can read everything, follow everyone and still miss the point. sometimes less noise is what helps you see things clearly.

it's easy to get so caught up in building something that you forget to enjoy the life you're building it for.

apathy can make you feel like nothing matters but sometimes the only way out is to start moving before you feel ready

good conversations are underrated sometimes one conversation can completely change how you see something

i've always been more interested in the people behind the projects than the projects themselves

the older i get, the more i value people who are genuinely curious not chasing every trend just learning, building and figuring things out
