The most transformative consumer revolutions rarely begin with industry leaders. They erupt when people reject entrenched systems and get a taste of something better. What comes next is always shaped by how people want to engage, not how companies wish they would. A look into what's next 👇 https://darkstarcrashes.xyz/media-2025-ai-agency-and-the-erosion-of-the-link-economy

think we'll start seeing an even further bifurcation of crypto products through culture. & that will include both how products are built and their desired outcomes. do you sell to web2? fair launch? this is a good thing. healthy growth and expansion of an industry built on ideals (though maybe loosely held).

The under-discussed truth is that AI isn’t just changing how we create, it’s changing how and where people consume. It’s not just less traffic. It’s fewer interfaces, fewer clicks, fewer moments of active engagement. What comes next is always shaped by how people want to engage, not how companies wish they would. https://darkstarcrashes.xyz/media-2025-ai-agency-and-the-erosion-of-the-link-economy

is crypto (via BTC) the only tech revolution at mass scale that succeeded without being capital intensive (ie. raising capital)?

The most significant consumer revolutions arise from defying the will of established incumbents. we don't want to pay for music, click your links, ride your taxis, use your financial systems. destruction isn't the end, it's the blueprint for what's next.

"The nature of digital technology is to embed, mix, smooth, disagreggate; too often, the image of decentralization conceals a quiet recentralization elsewhere. It’s not just advertising that is closer to our bodies, but every kind of information. With cryptocurrency, the spaces of traditional finance are reconstituted in the self ... in which the access point for dematerialized wealth is no longer the bank vault but the individual and their personal knowledge (their private key)." https://kneelingbus.substack.com/p/channel-surfing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=12645&post_id=165204277&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=ix1v&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

most media revolutions are an act of thwarting IP. the duality of man. "creators deserve recognition, should be rewarded". but we don't want to pay for music, most media, click your links &, in fact, now will regurgitate & rewrite your ideas as our own (chatgpt).

the strength of IP isn't about the original idea anymore, it's about expanding mindshare. a continuous movement. anyone who's thinking about reinventing the way it was is going in the wrong direction (IMHO).

weird how as the web has evolved, who said it last (& loudest) reaps more "rewards" than who said it first.
