GM Farcaster ep254 Wednesday June 4, 2025 Farcaster x Solana

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster celebrates Solana’s arrival like it’s a surprise party no one RSVP’d to but everyone showed up for—with hot takes on speed, mini apps, and whether the new crowd will outvibe the existing one. Between airdrop FOMO, and the creeping suspicion that Solana devs are just Farcaster lurkers in disguise, the episode captures the glorious mess of multichain mingling.

Teen Daze Has a Picture of a Piece of Paper at Dairy Queen

Jamison Isaak aka Teen Daze is an electronic musician who I personally have been a fan of since 2010. He's more than a musician, though. Much more...He's also a husband and a father. He's a nature lover. Twitter user. A resident of British Columbia. Friend. We got pretty deep into talking about DQ Blizzard's in this episode. I was craving one after our chat and then drove to Dairy Queen last Wednesday. So good. Something crazy happened, though—and feel free to sound off in the comments or on Twitter if you've ever had a similar experience—halfway through my blizzard, I noticed the cookie bits were dissipating, and then, they disappeared altogether. The entire bottom half of the Blizzard was just plain vanilla ice cream. I messaged Jamison about it and he knew what I was talking about. He said the same thing had happened to him. I checked out Reddit and someone on there said it was most likely "laziness on the part of the employees." *Shouts out to my girlfriend Chelsea Nguyen who comes through with a mind-bending story for the intro on this episode* Other topics discussed in this episode: Oreos CiRCA nightclub The first EP by Washed Out Chilliwack Hypnosis Emo Marriage PureVolume Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/picturetimeoclock⁠ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/picturetimeoclock Website: https://www.davidsutrin.xyz Zora: https://zora.co/@chairs44 X: https://x.com/chairs44 Nina Protocol: https://www.ninaprotocol.com/hubs/picture-time?tab=all ENS: chairs44.eth

James Wynn’s Fall, Ethereum’s Rise, and the Death of the Foundation Era – The Chopping Block

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew tackles a triple-header of crypto’s growing pains: the bizarre saga of James Wynn—a memecoin gambler whose billion-dollar positions on Hyperliquid ended in public ruin; the Ethereum Foundation’s surprise rebrand into “Protocol” and its sudden embrace of hierarchy; and a bold manifesto from Miles Jennings calling for the end of crypto foundations as we know them. Is radical transparency a feature or a trap? Is Ethereum finally prioritizing execution over vibes? And are foundations just offshore theater—or necessary guardians of decentralization? The gang debates all this and more in a conversation that asks: who’s really in control of crypto—and should they be? Show highlights 🔹 James Wynn: From $1B to $16 – The infamous Hyperliquid trader wipes out, then begs for donations… and opens new positions days later 🔹 Liquidation Theater – Was Wynn’s downfall market manipulation, a psyop, or just crypto doing what it always does? 🔹 Hyperliquid Transparency Debate – CZ, Jump, and Hyperliquid clash over whether radical openness helps or harms 🔹 Stop-Hunting Season – Tarun explains why onchain liquidation is more deterministic—but not necessarily more malicious 🔹 Ethereum Foundation Rebrands – Meet “Protocol”: a new structure, a new strategy, and maybe… a new hierarchy 🔹 The End of Purge & Surge – Is Ethereum finally abandoning the meme roadmap and focusing on shipping? 🔹 Tim Beiko’s New Role – A surprising centralization of coordination—and why the ETH community seems to like it 🔹 DUCS vs. DUNA – The crew proposes a new Ethereum acronym—and debates Miles Jennings’ push to end the foundation model 🔹 Are Foundations Just Offshore Theater? – Haseeb argues it’s time to kill the Cayman entity and rethink DAO legal structures 🔹 The Legal Marketing Wars – Tarun and Tom debate whether crypto’s governance evolution is genuine—or just “intellectual shilling”

19: Henrik Karlsson - Cultivating a Life that Fits

Full transcript and all links: dialectic.fm/henrik-karlssonHenrik Karlsson (Substack, X) is an independent writer focused on "writing a few good essays." Two of them are among my most consistently recommended: on designing your life and finding your wife (or husband).Henrik's always written, but lived a winding path across software programming, music, poetry, biology, an art gallery, and other odd jobs. A few years ago, Henrik and Johanna picked up their life in Sweden to move to a small island farm in Denmark so they could homeschool their daughters. He now writes on Substack full-time and lives an unusual dual-life: one is remote and intimate; the other is connected and wide. My favorite theme of his writing is self-cultivation: introspection and action, designing a life that fits you by experimenting, how to think and how to learn, embracing being wrong and seeing past your blindspots, and living in concert with past and future selves.I also love his writing on relationships: how to find your life partner, why writing helps others see the inside of your head, how to use the internet as a serendipity machine for finding your people, teaching and parenting, and what its like to be around exceptional people who make your world bigger.He also writes about education, self-organizing systems, AI, exceptional childhoods, and more. But I find the topic rarely matters—all of his writing expands me. What a gift. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. May we all embrace the burden of freedom—freedom to iteratively unfold into a life we never could have imagined. If you enjoy the episode, please consider supporting Henrik's writing, as he is fully reader-supported.---This episode is brought to you by Hampton, a private, highly vetted membership for founders.
