Hope is a method. It does not appear out of nowhere but is shaped as you decide how to face and deal with challenges in life. And it is exactly how hope differs from optimism.

Healing takes time but writing certainly helps. Thanks for hosting my thoughts and feelings @tinybuddha 🤍💙
It's hard to feel grateful for what you have when you feel guilty because others are suffering. Especially if you also feel angry because their suffering could have been prevented... How I changed my perspective when I was too angry to be grateful: buff.ly/3zFr8fb

Pretty much all children raised in the Middle East.
The child raised within chaos and unpredictability becomes the adult addicted to their own internal stress response. Adrenaline and cortisol spikes feel like excitement and connection. Without them we feel bored or nothing at all.

unbelievable! people under the remains rely on twitter to be located. people on the quake-field organize rescue forces on twitter. @elonmusk please do something about this!
⚠️ Confirmed: Real-time network data show Twitter has been restricted in #Turkey; the filtering is applied on major internet providers and comes as the public come to rely on the service in the aftermath of a series of deadly earthquakes 📰 Report: netblocks.org/reports/twitte…

Apparently the only thing #ChatGPT can not do for you is your workout. Heading to gym.. 😕

Over time I learned that the best way to motivate your team is to tell them what you are grateful for about your job. Be genuine, keep it personal. You’ll see it works better than any motivational speech. Gratitude is contagious.

📌 so so sooo true...
If the founder can’t sell it, no one can. If a senior rep under the founder can’t sell it, then a sales leader can't build a team to sell it. If a sales team within the company can’t sell it, then no third party sales team can sell it. So build out sales in that order.

Dydx blocking over 40% of eth wallets, maybe more. I’m not sure how you expect your project to survive when you block all your users

A very nice thread from @CirrusNFT on the recent BendDAO crisis. I've serious doubts that the emergency plan of the protocol will work. Right, dropping the liquidation threshold would increase the number of auctions but it’d be a band-aid (at best), not a permanent solution 🫤
🚨 BendDAO founder has proposed emergency changes to the protocol 🚨 If the vote passes theres a high likelihood of 600+ liquidation auctions of BAYC, MAYC, Clone X, Azuki, and Doodles over the next month A quick thread to dumb it down + how you can capitalize...

And it is not just due to the illiquidity of the assets. Unfortunately, the mechanism is flawed in the first place - the incentives for the lenders and borrowers don't seem to be embedded in the protocol correctly. The solution'd require BendDAO more than tweaking the parameters.

Not surprised by this at all. NFT lending business is already quite challenging by nature. The platforms should not only design their mechanisms carefully but also account for the market conditions and be able to set their key parameters dynamically. Will write more on this later
Thoughts on BendDAO: 1) It's messy: lots of apes near liquidation values 2) This is not Yuga's fault 3) TBendDAO should have lowered their "health ratio" multiplier as they gave more loans & floors fell. Auctions are only triggered when floor is 11% above loan value 1/3

Would like to try NFT lending but not sure how different it is than fungible’s ? Below are three common concepts in both, together with their nuances..🧵👇🏻

📍The concept of liquidity is at the heart of any lending platform. ➡️ For non-fungibles, it has an additional meaning for lenders: If a collateral is defaulted at the end of the loan duration, then the lenders better know how long it would take to sell the token in the market.

📍Sufficient amount of incentives for both borrowers and lenders are must. ➡️ For fungibles, the incentives are embedded into the mechanisms implemented by the platform. For non-fungibles, there are additional incentives implicit in the token’s collection and community.
