> **Video Content:** The video shows a screen recording of a webpage titled "It's already everywhere." featuring a flame emoji and a Mozilla advertisement, alongside two smaller video feeds showing a child in red and a man with headphones on a call.

On-screen text from a news ticker reads: "YOU HAVE A HAS BEEN BUILT. JUST BUILD FOR IS USEFUL. AND DOING, THE CONSEQUENCE OF LIKE REVENUE THERE IS SO A GLOBAL COMPUTER."

The setup appears to be a panel discussion or podcast recorded via video call, where builders are encouraged to view blockchain as a global computer rather than just "crypto," emphasizing that pairing this mindset with AI removes barriers between concept and product, according to the post's reference to @ziginiz and "Devrel."  

> 
> "What if you stopped thinking of blockchain as "crypto" and started thinking of it as a global computer?

That's 
@ziginiz
's advice to builders.

Pair that with AI, and there have never been fewer barriers between what's in your head and a working product.

Regarding the connection to your post about "Monad TVL" and "Monad token": This image doesn't appear to relate to those topics. The Breakthrough Prize is a science-focused award ceremony, and there's no visible connection to Monad, which is a blockchain/L1 project. The image seems unrelated to the accompanying post.

no promotion, just community

[Spoken audio]: We are one day into the chart arena web release and already a ton of great feedback from users that we've integrated into the product First of which you can now change your username. Sorry about that If you don't want to be cool get go 21 you have the opportunity to change it here and verify with your Twitter account For access to rewards in the game. We also heard complaints about the bars This was because we were getting tick data that was outside of the general range Now you should be getting nice tight bars on the chart that you can see easily on any screen size as well as Notifications up top there that disappear quicker so you can still see the round countdown timing.
