DepressiveHacks (depressivehacks)

The next interview in the never-ending interview series is here! Major thanks to OGT for greenlighting more of these, as well as for allowing my original editor, Pain, to come on and guest edit. Today, we break down crypto taxes (yes, I know...) with @duca. Major thanks to Duca for the time, insight, and for trying to help us all awaken from the nightmare that is crypto taxes. As always, interview link in the comments. 👇

Been getting a lot of shit out of my head lately to make sense of it, so I apologize for all the negativity, but this is helpful for me. Here's another post about some other shit I've been thinking about. Only one bot seemed to care on Twitter, so it can't hurt to share here too, I suppose. https://x.com/depressivehacks/status/1996977989364453462?t=z_OIlOjKe18_iHN40byRnA&s=19

Pretty overdue gratitude post here, but it means a lot to have crossed $100 earned on this platform simply by participating since March of this year. I've learned so much about Web3 hanging out here. Things that would have never crossed my radar on X. I have appreciated the connections I've made here and look forward to seeing how Farcaster can continue to grow and help solve Web2 social problems. I also appreciate Farcaster as an extra place to showcase DepressiveHacks. I try to show up every day and do my part to help build an onchain future, even if that looks very different than the days of the folks coding and building onchain directly. I suppose that posting here is the first onchain building I've done in Web3, come to think of it.

One of my least favorite responses that comes from the founder/builder crowd is exactly what you just said about meeting any type of critique, no matter how constructive, with that response. "Don't like it? Build you own. Let the market decide." It is not only dismissive, but severely understates how difficult it is to create a successful and sustainable product. Not everyone here lives in Silicon Valley and can call six people in their phone contacts for funding any time a random idea pops into their head. Not everyone is capable of creating an entire competing platform from scratch either. Also, the market is full of degenerates. The market makes terrible decisions on behalf of our industry all the time. For example, saying Pumpfun was good for the industry simply because it made money and telling people to go spin up more launchers as a response to not liking Pumpfun is missing the forest for the trees.
