I have felt like the shoemaker wearing no shoes for the past 8 years. A designer without a portfolio.
Check it out and lmk what you think. Showcasing design for these guys @reaversnft @MoneyBoysNFT @Ghions_ @duelarenasol @LaunchLabs_sol 🤝

A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life.
At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday."
He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy.
Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system.
He described a specific moment where he proposed a modification to a Raptor engine component. At NASA, the proposal would have entered a queue. At SpaceX, the modification was machined by the end of the day and tested by the following morning. He watched his idea become a physical object in 18 hours. At NASA, 18 hours would not have been enough to schedule the first meeting to discuss whether to schedule a meeting.
He told an interviewer: "I didn't get smarter when I went to SpaceX. I got faster. The intelligence was always there. The system was in the way."
The difference between SpaceX and NASA is not talent. NASA has extraordinary talent. The difference is the time between a thought and a test. SpaceX compresses it. NASA elongates it. The same engineer produces 10x more at SpaceX than at NASA because the bottleneck was never the engineer. It was the meetings about the meetings about the work.

For everyone asking:
- yes it's real
- 6 month term
- money well spent to get this mf off the internet
His lawyers are now pressing us hard to have this contract scrapped but we will stay strong

so about the $86m ledger drain. everyone’s screaming “ledger got hacked” again. i spent the evening digging and it’s dumber and scarier than that
there’s a shop in malaysia called cryptobilis that sells hardware wallets. ledger has it listed as an official authorized reseller since at least 2022, for malaysia, indonesia and the philippines. legit shop, real devices, years of normal customers
this spring the founders sell it. the deal comes with an NDA: they can’t tell anyone about the sale until october 19
by august the company registry shows one owner with 100%. some guy from heilongjiang, china
the shop keeps running like nothing happened. the site, the name and the “authorized by ledger” badge all stay up
then on oct 8 @MagicalTux posts photos of a ledger he cracked open. hidden under the screen there’s an extra little board with an LTE modem and an eSIM. it just watches the display. you set up your wallet, your 24 words show up, and they get sent out over mobile data. ledger’s genuine check doesn’t catch it because the actual ledger chip is real. his device came from malaysia

that post does 120k views
22 hours later someone sweeps everything. 203 BTC hits two addresses in literally one block. ~$58m USDT moves on tron in the same hour. i added up all the wallets: ~$91m
about 7 hours after that ledger says “we’re investigating” and asks cryptobilis to pause sales
cryptobilis is still on ledger’s site as an authorized reseller
to be fair, nobody has officially tied the new owner to the bugged devices yet, and ledger hasn’t confirmed how it happened. but read it as a business plan:
get authorized, sell real stuff for years, quietly sell the company under an NDA, keep the badge, ship devices that phone home, then drain everything the second someone notices
and was ledger even told the shop got sold? nobody’s said so
“authorized reseller” means ledger trusted whoever ran the shop back in 2022. says nothing about who runs it today
bought your hardware wallet anywhere but the manufacturer? open it up today, ledger literally has a guide for that. then move to a fresh seed on a device bought direct
wonder who’s going to answer for this: the chinese frontman from heilongjiang, the shop’s previous owners, or ledger itself
@Ledger clearly needs to keep a much closer eye on who they call official resellers, and take way more responsibility for who sells their devices and how
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses.

Launching Ballista — an execution engine for Solana, live on devnet rn!
A Solana transaction is fixed when you sign it. A Ballista template reads runtime state as it executes, computes values, calls other programs, checks their results, and branches on them.

it's incredibly hard for memecoins to get listed on Crypto.com
yet Super Inu / $SI got listed there organically barely a week after it went live
it also got listed on Gate.io this week
slowly but surely, the stars are aligning
many will buy this above $100 million market cap, and they will be happy!

I've been talking a lot about Allinu, you may have noticed. ✊
I met @RugDalio in @GalacticGeckoSG discord many years back. He's who got me to check out Allinu
Today, I sent my Faction Set on an Immortal Journey, they are soul bound, can't be transferred again.

Plumbers are fucking sick of parasitic KOLs.
We've been told a meme can't run without them. And often, that's true. Because most of these memes aren't good enough for anyone to give a shit without being paid to.
These bastards have made an entire industry out of selling dog shit to people.
The coins send. The same people get paid. Everyone else gets told they should've taken profits.
We haven't had a proper meme run in ages. Something real people found, believed in, worked for, and actually won from.
It's no wonder the trenches have sucked.
However, I think it had to get this bad. People had to get sick enough of the same bullshit to stop believing these fuckers were necessary.
Which is exactly what makes for the perfect conditions.
As @aria_azad1 mentioned in a recent @fomo thesis, the Overton Window is shifting.
A real meme, with real people behind it, has an opening. And there will be more than one.
There's one I think has a better chance that any.
The plumbers, the bag workers, the mentally ill finally have a coin that makes sense. One which actually resonates with people. One devoid of the bastard KOLs.
The path isn't an easy one, but don't fuck with plumbers on a mission.
The greatest ticker to ever be inscribed on any blockchain will win.
Allinu ✊
