I have had a massive perspective change on crypto. I spent the last 2 months learning the AI dev tools (8-12 hours a day) and rethinking how Product Development works in the age of AI. Most of the AI development community is outside of crypto and that forced me to break outside the bubble and engage deeply with other emerging technology and technologist. I have not really pulled my thoughts together in a nice shareable way but: 

On a positive note, I believe crypto has won. Its stablecoins (ie Stripe) and speculation (ie Polymarket). Game over. 

On a negative note, the cult we built around crypto is beyond dumb, toxic and holding the whole space back. 

But my biggest shift is that there is no "crypto" there is only Internet and crypto primitives are just part of the toolkit for the greater internet. 

My love for cryptocurrencies and its protocol has not changed only my perspective in how it fits in the wider internet.

I no longer work in crypto. I work in tech.

💯.

Amusement, wonder, and uncertainty. now (fcking around), prev @neynar ✴︎ libred.org

Like most cults, people are prone to offset their thinking to those with strong opinions, as opposed to question their surroundings and look at the bigger picture.

Great point. Pump and downs are the price they pay for feeling of belonging
