Myk.eth (@myk) urged builders to watch a critical talk delving into the history and future of digital creators:

Farcaster

Myk.eth on Warpcast

This talk is a must-watch It’s a history of being a creator on the internet and a look ahead at how things are changing It does not mention crypto at all /base is the correct channel to post this because if we are going to build an onchain economy that improves creativity, it is imperative to understand how the internet has shaped digital creators so that we can deeply empathize with their experience up until now & build something that solves the problems that they’re experiencing If you are a builder who is compelled by the gravity of what we are building onchain but you have an incomplete understanding of how digital creators think, distribute, & operate, you should spend 40m watching this https://youtu.be/hwn6-8XpIuE

​woj on Warpcast

many founders stop writing the monthly updates when the growth stalls and things are less exciting big mistake maybe it feels like there is not much to update on and no one will read it, but your future self and your future partners will be grateful for documenting on the thought process, stats and plans write the update

Vitalik Buterin (@vitalik.eth) suggested a travel hack for easier access to Brussels through Amsterdam:

Farcaster

Vitalik Buterin on Warpcast

Protip: you can come in to Brussels through Amsterdam. Passport control line in AMS is negligible (at least at 5AM, though I'm sure it's not too bad at other times either), and it's only a 2h train ride straight from the AMS airport to Brussels. https://media.firefly.land/farcaster/a620c6e7-69dc-435c-ad58-495f33c46f84.jpg
