Apple was the final nail in the coffin, flash was already losing ground with the emergence of mobile internet becoming a common fixture (and too few phones were powerful enough to handle it)

HTML5 succeeded shockwave/flash because it was a web standard. It didn't try to be its own exclusive ecosystem, it didn't have bizarre tooling to make things work, and wasn't riddled with security footguns. The work I’m putting into Q: - embraces and uses web standards (passkeys instead of wallets, natively) - has web native execution support (light clients can run in wasm, don't need to sync all world state to verify) - supports existing tooling (offers a golang-ish compiler, but has a generalized executable format that anyone can target without having to adopt a new architecture) - doesn't have reentrancy or proxy execution footguns that plague Ethereum all the time

Honestly, I think this is a good thing for investors to do, but additionally, I think any company that receives investment should be required to disclose any token warrants agreed to as part of the deal. As in, it should be a prosecutable offense if they do not disclose this while the token is freely available to obtain.

For full disclosure, I quit Coinbase shortly after base was publicly announced in opposition, and went to go build what I felt they should have done.

I can take that side: The early days of the internet was a sparse set of pocket communities, loosely connected under rapidly evolving standards, different cross-cutting concerns becoming mini fiefdoms (browsers: Netscape, IE; access: compuserve, prodigy, AOL; communication protocols: email, gopher, ftp, http, usenet), some with strong cultural norms and self-enforced behaviors. As standards emerged and blood was shed on the battlefield, many victors of their fiefdoms tried to extend their grasp to adjacent territories (Microsoft -> MSN, AOL -> Usenet). By a decade's time, all of these things died by their own mistakes: Microsoft lost the browser and access wars, AOL lost everything. Why? Because they weren't approaching it holistically as a new system to collaborate within and create new things, but rather, to try to extend their control on more things that people were wanting to do on the web. Who won? The web natives: Google became the sprawling indexer, connecting people to more things, rather than locking people's interaction surface of the world. Amazon became the physical and digital logistics giant, plumbing the majority of the web's services. The way I personally view the base strategy, is that they hitched their wagon to a set of nascent technologies — ethereum scales poorly, so they made a centralized sequencer to handle more throughput, only to get bottlenecked on other limitations. They condensed their entire strategy around making everything a token, missing the entirely new emergent properties of crypto: trustlessness, privacy, and self sovereignty. Their strategy is the same playbook AOL played. And it worked for AOL for a few years. Where are they now? Crypto is more than digital land grabs for AOL Keywords.

4. If you have the resources to bootstrap, you can avoid poisoning your project because all crypto VCs demand token warrants. But if you can't, you can't do moonshots.
