Authenticity is not about saying whatever pops into your head. It's about sharing what reflects who you want to be. Healthy self-expression doesn't mean no filter. It involves weighing whether your current thoughts and emotions are aligned with your lasting values.

In early 2024, a new blockchain launched their quest system. 1.2M users showed up. 80M quests were completed. It looked successful... Until 93.5% of users vanished after the airdrop with a negative retention rate: -0.183% But after adding token rewards, RR rose slightly to 0.59% (still very low). What’s behind this user behaviour? Our research paper, accepted at FC workshop, is the first to deeply analyze onchain quests and loyalty, aiming to answer exactly that.

Replying to @TuckerCarlson
If you were an actual journalist you would expose Putin's "nuclear threat!!!!" propaganda which he has been using for decades now for the utter nonsense that it is, but you're not there to do journalism, you're there to pick up another paycheck.

Voluntary cooperation can happen within a market. A market cannot happen inside socialism.

Open source is voluntary cooperation. Marxism is involuntary cooperation enforced with violence. One leads to better software, the other to oppression and mass murder. We are not the same.

Bad day for Entrepreneurship in Canada 🇨🇦👎. Capital gains tax rate is increasing from a 50% inclusion to 66%. This increases the net capital gains tax rate from 27% to 36%... Compared to the US which has a 20% capital gains tax rate (+ major incentives like QSBS) In my conversations with Canadian entrepreneurs, it's clear: They're feeling less motivated to build businesses here when moving just a bit south could mean saving a lot more.
