The Baddie in Me: Grace on dating, building Unlonely in crypto & finding what's next
In this episode of The Baddie in Me, Jessyfries chats with Grace about the unexpected virality of her wedding date post on Twitter and Farcaster, and how it led to someone even building a mini app for applicants. We also talk about her co-founded project Unlonely, a livestream app created with her brother, and its reality-style dating show Love on Leverage, where Jessyfries was one of the participants! She shares what it was like building Unlonely, her past role at YouTube working with creators, and how transparency is a key value she carries across projects. Earlier this year, she stepped away from Unlonely to reflect on her next chapter, unsure if it’ll stay in crypto, as she navigates the addictive nature of the space, and her desire for more purpose-driven work. We also talk about: - Building an online persona as a sassy, honest “internet girlie” - The struggle of juggling platforms like Lens, Farcaster & Twitter - Her views on authenticity, networking, and building engaged communities - Overcoming imposter syndrome and learning to trust herself - Finding balance while staying online and being visible This is a fun and real convo about internet culture, dating, social-fi, and growing up in crypto.

22: Nadia Asparouhova - Ideas that Infect
Nadia Asparouhova (Website, X, Substack) is a writer and researcher who has spent much of her career in service of the question: 'what's happening here?' across various parts of the internet.Nadia recently published her newest book, Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading. She explores why consequential ideas, unlike memes and supermemes, fail to spread. She also recounts the last several years of online public and private life and how we're all less naive than we were in previous eras of the internet. Critically, she suggests a path toward poking our heads out of group chats and silos to engage in publicly discussing or promoting the ideas that matter most.Her first book, Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software, was published by Stripe Press. Nadia also worked at Substack, Protocol Labs, and Github, and has written extensively on Silicon Valley Culture; the importance of ideas and institutions; consciousness, attention, and meditation; and more.Nadia's self-described sweet spot is when people respond to her writing by saying,"I read this piece and it gave me words for a thing that I didn't know how to express before." I can attest that is true, both for Antimemetics and for much of her other thinking. And as much as she writes about ideas, I admire how focused she is on how they might produce action.Nadia believes that important ideas infect us, and the reasonable response to that is to be tremendously thoughtful about our attention. I hope this conversation inspires you to put great care into where your attention goes.Transcript and all links: https://dialectic.fm/nadia-asparouhovaTimestamps:1:31: Why Ideas Matter9:33: The Last 10 Years of the Internet and Attention Collapse17:07: How The Internet Caused Attention Collapse19:59: Private Coordination in Public Spaces24:01: Legibility and Illegibility as a Tactic28:28: Ideas Are Not Created Nor Discovered; They Infect Us35:17: Defining Antimemes42:00: Ideological Black Holes: Supermemes49:13: Engaging in the Public Square vs. Opting Out54:16: Truth Tellers who Can Bring Anti-Memetic Ideas to Light1:05:06: Champions, or the Great Apostle Theory1:10:57: Institutions, Ideologies, and Movements1:24:51: Attention1:31:30: Jhanas1:38:42: Writing a Book1:46:19: Connecting the Dots in Reverse1:50:29: Lightning Round: Fighting (or Working With) Human Nature, Software as Passion Project, Democracy, Space Away from the Center of ThingsDialectic with Jackson Dahl is available on all podcast platforms.Join the telegram channel for DialecticFollow Dialectic on TwitterFollow Dialectic on InstagramSubscribe to Dialectic on YouTube

Why We’re Irresponsibly Long DeFi
In this special crossover episode, we take the hot seat as guests for the first time, to talk about why we remain so bullish on DeFi! Guided by Wallfacer Podcast host Ryan Rodenbaugh, we cover a wide range of investor topics including how Bitcoin’s ideological roots still shape today’s industry, why Ethereum and ETH remain fundamentally undervalued, the growing tension between narratives and reality in crypto, and how our perspective as DeFi users informs how we invest as angels. We even share some of the actual protocols and tokens we’ve been allocating to, something we rarely do in such detail. Special thanks to our friend Ryan for hosting! He is the CoFounder & CEO of Wallfacer Labs, the team behind vaults.fyi, connecting users directly to 500+ DeFi vaults across 50+ protocols and 10+ blockchain networks. Ryan was kind enough to originally invite us on The Wallfacer Podcast and then allow us to republish this episode for our own audience. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources 🪄 NEWTON | SIMPLER CRYPTO UX WITH VERIFIABLE AI AGENTS https://newton.xyz/ 🔮 PYTH NETWORK | SMARTER DATA FOR SMARTER CONTRACTS https://pyth.network/ 🤙 FAIR | THE FIRST L1 BLOCKCHAIN TO ELIMINATE MEV AT CONSENSUS https://www.fairchain.ai/ 📊 iYIELD | YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://go.iyield.com/edge 🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE https://group.mantle.xyz/ 🌔 MOONWELL | THE LEADING LENDING AND BORROWING APP ON BASE https://moonwell.fi/ ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED https://gearbox.fi/ 🐡 PUFFER UNIFI | AN ETHEREUM BASED ROLLUP WITH NATIVE YIELDS https://unifi.puffer.fi/ 🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET https://app.maple.finance/earn?referral=Mig0gHP59IYC ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 5:37 - Our start in crypto 16:46 - How our roots in Bitcoin grounds us 21:46 - Bitcoin vs Ethereum vs high-performance L1 ideologies 30:05 - Sponsor break 30:46 - Ethereum and ETH’s bright path ahead 41:24 - All investments start with our POV as users 47:58 - Pros and cons of narratives over reality 54:33 - Notable winners from DeFi 1.0 to now 1:08:18 - Sponsor break 1:09:57 - What needs to happen for DeFi tokens to reprice? 1:22:44 - DeFi ideas, protocols, tokens we’ve bet on recently 1:40:46 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► vaults.fyi website: https://vaults.fyi/ ► vaults.fyi on X : https://x.com/vaultsfyi ► Ryan on X: https://x.com/ryanrodenbaugh ► Wallfacer Labs on X: https://x.com/wallfacerlabs ► Subscribe to The Wallfacer Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wallfacer-podcast/id1709530326 ------ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions.

Andrew Power Has a Picture of Delroy Edwards
Andrew Power is a DJ and producer from Toronto, ON. Under the alias Andrew Juke, one might describe his eclectic style as "hard style rave-core" meets "post-covid-footwork." When he's not behind his PC blasting out 303 melodies and boosting the low-end on his latest bootleg remix, he's hangin' online, walking the city, or keeping up with the latest trends in men's fashion. Earlier this summer, Andrew let me brush the back of my hand against his The Row hoodie. He also runs the IG page Collected Searching, where he unearths archived internet search phrases with dark and sometimes illegal undertones. Topics discussed in this episode: - L.A.

Why JPMorgan and Shopify Are Rolling Out New Products on Ethereum Layer 2 Base - Ep. 855
On Tuesday, JPMorgan announced that its blockchain unit is launching JPMD, a USD deposit token for institutional clients, on Base. That’s right: the world’s biggest bank by assets and the 12th largest company by market cap is putting real dollars onchain. JPMD isn’t quite a stablecoin, but it’s close. It represents actual dollar deposits at JPMorgan and will be used by institutional clients for blockchain-based transactions. The bank plans to run a pilot over the coming months and eventually expand it to other user groups and currencies, pending regulatory approval. To understand what this means for the broader crypto ecosystem (and why JPMorgan chose Base), we brought on Jesse Pollak, head of Base and Coinbase Wallet. In this episode, Jesse explains: Why JPMorgan (and Shopify) chose Base What deposit tokens are, and how they differ from stablecoins Why infrastructure is finally “ready” for institutions How Base scaled from 2.5 million to 35 million gas/sec What’s next for Coinbase users who’ll have one-tap access to onchain assets And Jesse’s response to the critics who said that Coinbase doesn’t give enough credit to Ethereum
