- 📍Kabul, Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Why Afghanistan?
When a friend messaged me in March, asking if I wanted to join him on a trip to Afghanistan in July, I didn't hesitate much. I knew that if I didn't do it now, I might never get the chance. Because this is anything but your typical tourist destination. And I want to begin this travel tale by saying, it's not all as they show us… But… Some things are indeed better, while others are much worse.
For the safety of the people who were responsible for our security, there are some things I won't be able to share, but I'll try my best to be completely honest and objective.
First, let's clarify that the Taliban has been ruling Afghanistan for the past 2 years, but not all Afghans are Taliban. The majority of the Taliban belong to the ethnic group Pashtuns (Pashtuns are a little under 50%, and not all of them are Taliban), and besides Pashtuns, there are Hazaras (some might call them original Afghans), Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmens... The official languages are DARI (Farsi or Persian) and PASHTO.
To enter the country, I needed a visa, which travel agency arranged for me. The visa is a permit for entry, but not for movement. For each location, an additional permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Afghanistan was required, and since the Taliban is in charge of that... You can probably imagine what it's like and how much tourism and culture there is.
Around 40 million people live in Afghanistan, and every person we talked to wants to leave. After the Taliban came to power, all foreign companies withdrew, and many people lost their jobs, living on the brink of existence. The only "advantage" of this government is that movement is now freer, both for tourists and locals. In the past, foreigners were the main target for the Taliban, and suicide bombings were an everyday occurrence.
I arrived in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan with around 5 million inhabitants, from Abu Dhabi, in less than 3 hours.
Exploring Kabul wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Bird Market, where birds are sold and their songs and chirping are cherished, holding special meaning in Afghan culture. Because, the Taliban has banned music...

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [June 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
**one more thing** :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @jeanmi.lens increased his followers +5k within 39 days. How he did it? "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to ‘GM'"
One more one more thing ;-) the latest notification update shows notifications for profiles one follows and a few other profiles only (if the filter isn’t deactivetd). -> at the time of writing it’s quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. 2 approaches to get some visibility:
**[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining the next “little lens game” edition :-) https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1407 . The little lens games intends to be fun (of course :-)) and requires to follow other lens profiles for 24/48 hours closely. -> your content will have at least some exposure to people beyond your followers. (Please let me know if you would like to join.)
**[3]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food)
**[4]** consider contributing content to the weekly “this week on lens” series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x18c1 ) or other content threads.
**[5]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.
`cover artists of the month`
TYSM @arterlioz.lens AND @cybershakti.lens for creating this beautiful getting started cover 🤍🙏
**Collect is the #lens super power**. The “gettting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @arterlioz.lens and @cybershakti.lens ‘ awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artists’ address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist.
AND @arterlioz.lens and @cybershakti.lens created an **additional artwork (1:1) that will be raffled** **among all the collectors** 🎇. (pls collect within the next 5 days to be eligible for the raffle.)
`advanced topics`
**other mobile apps**: @converseapp.lens ( @xmtplabs.lens mobile messaging app), @lenstaxyz.lens image focused lens mobile app.
**other browser apps**: @pinsta.lens pin lens content, create and publish pinsta boards. @beatsapp.lens music focused lens app. @focalize.lens browser extension for posting on lens. @youfolio.lens trading lens creator tokens. @dumpling.lens video platform on lens. @diversehq.lens Reddit inspired lens app. @collectz.lens amazing app to share what you’ve collected and what’s for sale (eg https://collectz.xyz/u/cavernaeremita/forsale ).
**market place**: @lensport . Buy and sell collects, create token gated posts, ... .
**fun**: @memester-xyz.lens create memes easily and publish directly on lens. @lenstubelogs.lens videos on lens. Lensbird the Lens version of Flappybird by @thefriendly.lens ( https://lensbird.onfriendly.io ) . www.lyrical.world (#LensAI) create ai generated images and publish on lens. @amnisiac.lens listen to music in your feed or other profile's feed (e.g. @mixtape.lens ). @truthordare.lens ;-). @lensgardennft.lens dynamic activity based NFTs. word cloud generator by @rickydata.lens https://lens-wordcloud.streamlit.app . Lens circles by @juancito.lens circles.inlens.xyz .
**tools**: @chainjet.lens automate processes, like notifications ( @remindmebot.lens 👀). lens.sepana.io very powerful lens search. @lensdropxyz raffle tokens based on constraints (e.g. 1 of the profiles who collected post xyz will get a NFT). @wav3s.lens incentivise people to mirror or comment content. @madfinance.lens Lens Bounties, allowing creators to earn "by creating a Lens post using the creative direction of a brand". @letsrally.lens lens spaces. @wagmifund.lens decentralised crowd funding platform. @ethpass.lens add your lens profile to Apple or google wallet. postter.xyz schedule posts. @socllyofficial.lens “creator-centric” toolkit.
**data**: profile.lenskit.xyz profile overview with a github like activity board. https://dune.com/xmc2/lens-profiler get an overview of your lens statistics.
**ready to test**: @lensplayxyz.lens video browsing, @buttrfly.lens general purpose lens mobile apps (android), #lensshare video platform (browser lensshareapp.xyz ), @converseapp.lens mobile messaging (android). Text 2 video by @thegallerydao.lens . @chromadin.lens “A din of iridescent static fills the air as you tune into intercepted signals. Beyond the boundaries of conventional networks you are here, live at the edge of an irrevocable threshold.” :-) @ensocollective digital closet.
**coming soon**: @onboardapp.lens general purpose app. #theDial by @emmajane1313.lens . @natasocial (aka LensTags) content discovery and organisation. @glassxyz.lens protocol for decentralised video. @lenspostxyz.lens canva for web3 socials. https://www.chesswithfrens.com/ chess with lens frens by @krantz.lens .
**lens protocol stats** - provided by @buttrfly.lens (weekly posts + comments):
@lenster.lens 56.3%
@phaver.lens 23.4%
@orbapp.lens 8.1%
@lenstubelogs.lens 1.9%
@chainjet.lens 1.7%
@buttrfly.lens 1.2%
If you are interested in **content distribution** and increasing your reach on lens, maybe the following post is a good starting point: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x017566-0xdf (e.g. @bvdaniel.lens combined his introduction post with an eye catching visual (only follower can collect) and an incentivised mirror (+100 followers ). 120+ collects, 80+ mirrors, 40+ comments ...)
@luduvigo.lens wrote two great posts “How to grow on Lens ...” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x036d and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

- I see what you’re saying and I think semantics is an issue here.
You’re saying open data can be scraped and “owned” by anyone, but I would say that it’s being “used” not “owned.” OpenAI could scrape Lens and train GPT5 on my data, and I would consider them to be Users of my data. Since my original data is onchain and I own it, I would consider myself the owner.
If there’s a world where asking ChatGPT to “write in the style of Ryan Fox” becomes valuable, I argue the value accrues to the original data, which is owned by me.
The Mona Lisa is valuable -because- it’s on tshirts and mouse pads, not despite it.
This is something I’ve started talking a lot about recently, actually:
The next era will be turning Followers into Users.
Own your data.
Train AI on your data.
Let people use your data.
Data ownership is crucial. If you want to listen to LoFi Grimes you can go to a music generator trained on her music which then makes brand new music in her style and is also LoFi. The value accrues to her music. It’s the same as using Microsoft Word to generate new data (documents). Word is a valuable app because it allows people to create new data. Now Grimes’ data and Gotenks’ data can do the same.
PC user
Internet user
Word user
Grimes user
Gotenks user.
- The result may joke with you,but the process won't
- While #NFT trading activity has declined recently, @blur_io's Blend lending platform has experienced significant growth.
With daily loan originations matching trading volume, Blend is becoming a force to reckon with. https://t.co/B59Mg8xCSx

- I'm celebrating airdropping the final Campfire Circle tokens to my early collectors! 🎉
I created 100 tokens to give away with my first 100 collects on Lens as a way to say thank you to my collectors. I hope to use these to do some cool things in the community soon, so if you are an OG collector, stay tuned for more info.
For my newer collectors, I'm planning on doing a similar airdrop, most likely for individual drops. So, don't fret, I appreciate you all so much and will start brainstorming ideas for the next token!
If you're mentioned below, check your wallets/ hidden folders for your gift! And if you've collected more than once and have a few tokens, feel free to transfer some to your frens!!
Much love #lensfam 💚🌿✨

- Scaling Decentralized Social with Stani Kulechov | The Edge Podcast
Stani Kulechov is the Founder of Aave and Lens protocols.
In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the legendary DeFi founder Stani Kulechov. Having built Aave into one of the world's largest DeFi protocols with an all-time high of $30B TVL, Stani made the bold move in 2021 to jumpstart another wildly challenging Web3 startup that would deliver a self-sovereign alternative to social media–called Lens.
Lens is a decentralized composable social layer. You can think of it as "not your keys, not your follower graph" and it has proven to be the most foundational lego in the decentralized social stack jumpstarting a Web3 alternative to apps like Twitter or YouTube. Stani joins us to talk about their recently announced scaling solution for decentralized social called Momoka.

- Drink some milk
- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [May 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens (iOS) are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @jeanmi.lens increased his followers +5k within 39 days. How he did it? "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to ‘GM'"
One more one more thing ;-) the latest notification update shows notifications for profiles one follows and a few other profiles only (if the filter isn’t deactivetd). -> at the time of writing it’s quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. 2 approaches to get some visibility:
**[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining the next “little lens game” edition :-) https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1407 . The little lens games intends to be fun (of course :-)) and requires to follow other lens profiles for 24/48 hours closely. -> your content will have at least some exposure to people beyond your followers. (Please let me know if you would like to join.)
**[3]** maybe join communities on diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food)
`cover artist of the month`
TYSM @chaoticmonk.lens for creating this beautiful - and **first** - getting started cover 🤍🙏. If you haven't already I highly recommend to take a look at @chaoticmonk.lens profile. (maybe you can find some available collects of the fantastic "Foto A Day" series.)
**Collect is the super power of #lens**, starting with this edition the “gettting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artist.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @chaoticmonk.lens awesome photo (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated through the collect fee will go directly to the artist’s address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist.

If you are interested in **content distribution** and increasing your reach on lens, maybe the following post is a good starting point: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x017566-0xdf (e.g. @bvdaniel.lens combined his introduction post with an eye catching visual (only follower can collect) and an incentivised mirror (+100 followers ). 120+ collects, 80+ mirrors, 40+ comments ...)
@luduvigo.lens wrote a great post “How to grow on Lens: Episode 0 to 500 followers” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

- Do the right thing
- I love summer because it is full of lift and hope
- Enjoy the weekend
- Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyper-scale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.
Data availability layers are utilized to prevent storing information on-chain. While content on Lens may include an on-chain transaction, the content data is linked to a data availability location, like Bonsai.
Bonsai serves as a scaling solution that processes Polygon transactions off-chain, achieving hyperscale and reducing costs. Unlike L2 solutions, Bonsai doesn't compress transactions into L1, it sends and stores them on a data availability layer.
The main challenge for decentralized social networks is to ensure that users have control over their content, while still being just as user-friendly as traditional social networks.
Bonsai makes the future of decentralized social possible.
We've worked relentlessly with the @bundlr-network.lens work and Arweave teams to ensure scalability by providing Data Availability (DA) guarantees, allowing the use of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-supported wallets to save DA logic and facilitating the rapid publishing of data.
Permissionless innovation is at the core of everything we do on Lens. As we approach one year on mainnet (still in beta), we have been blown away by the talent and passion in our dev community but we realize in order to scale to the masses, we need to build new solutions.
Bonsai is currently only being beta tested on @lensterxyz.
We look forward to seeing more applications roll out Bonsai.

- The biggest controversy in Bitcoin is energy consumption and environmental protection climate.
However, they selectively ignore the problems caused by industries such as gold #BTC
They do not want to face new competition, especially traditional investment institutions and regulators
Because this will challenge the walls that they have established, let the people of our future born choose to serve them and serve them for a lifetime.
Traditional news agencies also serve power. If they choose to refuse, they will face prohibition, which will make them have to obey.
I hope to join the changing team with everyone, only this is the future
