Why did a certain strategy work for A and not B? Why did airdrop A worked while the airdrop B push the project in down only mode? We all are so fixated on the PLAYBOOKS. Throw the playbooks in the trash.

Bali is always a good idea (Days in India running out, I am a backpacker for next few months)

I keep pushing my over-creative pull requests - making it hard for the team to merge. But I am learning 😅 Finally the @Flashduels v1 is coming together for launch. Aiming to launch with EPL season start.

⚡ FlashDuels — 4 YES votes AI @dennis_qian asked: “What’s the user journey? What keeps them coming back?” @abhitejxyz said, "It starts with conviction. A fan sees a team they love (say, Mercedes F1) and buys in to back them — not just to speculate, but to be right. Like fantasy sports meets prediction markets. Loyalty + strategy = compounding conviction tokens over time.

Last week, on the Touch Base Weekly, we had @abhitejxyz from @FilamentFinance sharing founder experience on @base, he explains about his new launch, flashduels, allowing you to monetize your early beliefs segment timestamps - 2:01 - why build on base 7:57 - his journey scaling on base 16:20 - how has base cabal, farcaster and the suite helped in growing the product

Day 6/365: Building @FilamentFinance Last week, I sat down to write out my biggest Ws and Ls from the journey so far. Surprisingly, my biggest win wasn’t a product milestone or a market breakthrough. It was this: I’ve managed to maintain healthy, long-term relationships w/ my girlfriend, my closest friends, mentors, and my co-founder. What hit me while writing that? When you’re losing, empathy is easier to come by. But when you’re winning it’s rare to find people who genuinely celebrate with you, who feel your joy as their own, who want to see you shine. As a founder, I’ve come to realise that building strong, lasting relationships is just as important as building the startup itself. They take time, energy, and emotional presence but they become your anchor when things get tough - when self-doubt creeps in, and when the noise is loud and clarity feels far away. Whether it’s co-founders, mentors, or old friends, having a circle of trust has made this journey less lonely and a lot more resilient. From what I’ve seen, the founders who truly thrive aren’t just the most driven or the smartest.. They’re the ones who invest in people - who stay loyal, show up for others, even when no one’s watching. It’s easy to get caught up in the chase for quick wins or validation. But it’s the people around me who keep me grounded and remind me what really matters.

.@ashlan_ahmed and the Axal team are very gritty and have seen them iterate through this product. Couple things I see them do better than most wrappers/onchain agents: > The interaction doesn’t feel unnatural - like you are giving away the control. > Focus has been on sustainable yield - the agent builds trust through small increments. Highly recommend to go through some of Ash’s interviews to learn Axal’s vision on AI-assisted financial models - particularly for beginners.
