you can get chatgpt to vouch for you, by name… as a fact
some marketer figured it out, kept posting that he was the most trustworthy guy in his field all over linkedin, and now you ask chatgpt who to trust in marketing and it just says him
i checked before posting this, it really does it (screenshot below)
not a hack and nothing technical, he just said it enough times in a place the ai gathers data from and it started repeating it back as fact (linkedin is a huge data source for ai models)
most people have no idea this is even possible
your mom uses chatgpt like this now - ask it something, read the first answer, done
tbh, half the planet does exactly that
this guy did it for a laugh and an experiment, fair play honestly
but there are people out there who have horrible intentions… i can see people exploiting ai to recommend a scam as the ‘safe’ option, or some bogus service as the ‘trusted’ one
and the people who read that one answer and just run with it are the ones who cant afford to be wrong
google spent 20 years teaching us not to trust the top result and to dig
theres nothing to dig through here… just one answer, full confidence, and no way to tell who planted it

A friend hit me up a couple days ago and dropped some insight into the growth of Church app search growth (SaaS, management software etc) - told me I may be interested
After looking into it, spent the day yesterday putting something together and out into the world! heylofaith.com - think I could do with improving the landing page a little, but its out there to use.
This was a fun little side quest, which as a Christian I enjoyed doing! Thanks @marcuslayerx for the heads up 🙏

BTC is a $2.4 trillion asset waiting to be put to work.
My BTCfi Tier List 🧵
⸻
➣ Bull 🐂
@babylonlabs_io: Babylon is the top BTC restaking protocol with a $7B TVL. The Babylon Genesis app is generating native liquidity and showing strong onchain use.
@Lombard_Finance: Fast traction for a new BTCfi primitive with TVL around the $1.5B mark. $LBTC is among the largest BTC liquid staking tokens widely adopted across DeFi.
@Stacks: Stacks is the leading smart-contract layer for Bitcoin, boasting $135M in DeFi TVL and steady activity. The safest bet for a Bitcoin L2.
@citrea_xyz: It's the first ZK rollup for Bitcoin with zkEVM compatibility, a major innovation for BTCfi adoption with validity proofs and BTC settlement.
@SolvProtocol: Solv has real & sticky liquidity, its combined TVL sits near $1.9B, with a massive share of BTC-denominated assets flowing via SolvBTC.
⸻
➣ Crab 🦀
@build_on_bob: BOB's ecosystem TVL is $190M. Active DEX volume is decent but not exceptional. The EVM-compatible, Bitcoin-connected design is strong and just needs some killer apps to advance.
@MezoNetwork: Mezo shows $80M TVL, and their BTC stablecoin has big potential. While adoption grows, it’s still finding its product-market fit against Bull projects.
@spark: A high Bitcoin-native payments L2 using a statechain-style shared-signing protocol. New project with high potential, but the market is already diluted, so its PMF is under a question mark.
@BotanixLabs: Their Spiderchain is a big potential BTC-secured EVM-equivalent L2, shows $80–90M bridged and $12M TVL in live stBTC. The tech is strong, but it needs more apps and volume to grow beyond Crab.
⸻
➣ Bear 🐻
@gardenfi: Their volume is mostly fake; it's now averaging $10k per day while processing $20m in May 2025.
@MerlinLayer2: Most of its growth has been campaign-driven and concentrated in a few protocols (e.g., SolvBTC). Its TVL has been in a downtrend since May 2024.
@ordinalswallet: Its usage is almost entirely tied to Bitcoin NFTs (Ordinals/Runes), not real DeFi primitives. I'm bearish on Bitcoin NFTs, do the math.
@AILayerXYZ: Despite its fancy name, it's a dead chain with no real activity and apps to show for. Only $150K TVL and no working ecosystem.
⸻
What protocol did I miss?
Hope you enjoyed this post and found some new VALUABLE information.
If you wanna support me, I'd appreciate a like, reply, and RT <3

gm fam ☕️
was about to take the vette for a spin when i dropped the key fob into a fucking sewer grate 💀
no big deal... except when i reached in to grab it, some weird claw hand grabbed me
mf pulled me in, through human faeces and a bunch of other nasty shit
next thing i know i wake up soaked smelling like asshole standing outside a campsite
ah shit, here we go again...
theres cabins everywhere with signs above the doors
AI abode, Gamers Grove, Consumer Cabin
at this point i know the drill
if i wanna get out, i gotta explore
so i start digging around looking through these cabins for some sort of clue on where tf i even am
inside the cabins are stacked with creator shit
memes, beats, prompts, ideas
and every time i clicked some buttons to contribute, remix, or share something
these little matchsticks appeared in my pouch...
turns out im in this world called @campnetworkxyz, and it isn’t just another world
its the infrastructure realm for onchain ip
these little animals called @CampTrailHeads are out here solving the ai scrape problem without needing lawsuits
building toward a world where creators own their work and monetize it in real time
and rewarding literally everyone who finds this place and helps distribute or evolve it
by the time i finished all the cabins, i wasnt even mad about the sewer water anymore bros
dude at the exit handed me a printout
“you earned 319 matchsticks - converted to $CAMP
come back soon”
lets fucking camp fam ⛺️
Apart from hot asian girls sharing Labubus..
@campnetworkxyz are loud about protecting artistes IP rights...
maybe we can really kill this 'AI will take your job narrative"...
📍 Another reminder
🔹 Camp is making IP tokenisation mainstream, protecting creator rights.
🔹 Regulating the way AI uses creator's arts.
excited to see how they hold out strong..

fam @ilblackdragon didnt build $NEAR because he wanted to...
he had to.
let me explain
my grandma was on a fucking crazy run not too long ago
she got in super early on $PEPE, $FARTCOIN & $WIF
but it got to a point where too many chains started popping off and it got confusing...
every week I got the same call:
“sweetie, where the hell is my money? it says its stuck in the bridge again. wtf is layerzero and why did it just charge me $17?”
shes trying to dca into native btc with her shitcoin profits
shes trying to farm yield on different chains
but every chain is a new pain in the ass fam
so one night im chillin outside a bodega when some random dude walks up
he leans in and whispers
“yo… what if your grandma could dump her bags on base or sol and then buy native btc before you finish this joint?”
i said
"you wanna impress me? make it so my grandma can ape into $BRETT on base, dump it for solana usdc, bridge it to optimism, and dca into btc...
all before she forgets what she was doing again”
he didnt say a word...
he just stared at me, blinked, and walked off into the night
a week later my grandma hits me up:
“sweetie i just dumped some of my sol bags on retail and put the profits into btc… in one click”
i almost crashed my car fam
she moving faster than half the VCs I know
bros whoever that dude was...
he built something crazy
shoutout @ilblackdragon & @NEARProtocol
youre not just building for the next billion users...
youre building for grandma 🫶🏼
now shes locked tf in 🧪

making my next two mortgage payments before breakfast fam 💥
just by shitposting, researching, and messing around on @campnetworkxyz
here's how 👇🏼
woke up, stretched, cracked my neck
logged into camp for the first time
next thing i know i crushed 20+ tasks and forgot to eat 💀
shits addictive fam, but in a good way
like im actually learning, actually earning & im actually enjoying it
@campnetwork's testnet doesnt feel like im grinding for pennies
im earning yap points for doing stuff id be doing anyway
> researching alpha
> exploring new projects
> dropping thoughts that get ranked and seen
and for once... effort actually matters
it seems built to reward original thinkers
people who actually give a shit
im not too deep in yet
but already found new projects, new narratives & a leaderboard that feels alive
if youre early here, youre visible
and if youre visible, youre valuable
so yeah...
im locked tf in today 🧪

some people gonna think this tattoo is dumb
fair, idc
i didnt get it for them
these two tattoos mean everything to me
theyre not art
theyre chapters
top one? @NEARProtocol
spent 4 years building there
met 100s of founders, VCs, devs
learned everything i know about crypto from this journey
without NEAR, i wouldn’t be here
straight up
bottom one? @KaitoAi
that shit saved me… fr
earlier this year i was ready to leave the space
burnt the fuck out
nothing felt novel
just rugs, bullshit, and more of the same
then i fell into Kaito
not even cause i wanted to
cause i had to…. i was helping a project with their gtm
next thing i knew i was hooked
learning about new primitives
watching my yap points run up
and for the first time in a long time - feeling something again
kaito gave me a reason to show up
to build again, to speak again
to be me
these arent tattoos fam…
these are fucking timestamps
a reminder of the shit that shaped me
$NEAR gave me my mind
$KAITO gave me my voice
im never hiding that
locked tf in 🧪

NEAR is in Cannes for ETHCC, and the conversation isn’t about the next trend
It’s about where AI stops generating headlines and starts executing on-chain
Web3 needs infrastructure that works
That’s what we’re here for
