Uniswap v4 feels like crypto's first complete product. Uniswap v3 was already nearly there, which is one reason why while previous versions took ~1 year, v4 took 4 years. I can see additional functionality (e.g. unified liquidity) and responding to infra changes (e.g. quantum-resistant zkVMs) that will justify a v5, but the core purpose of this application now feels complete for the foreseeable future. What's remaining is now on the governance & social end. Aave v4 is the next candidate for a complete product. Interestingly, the applications are hitting final form years ahead of the infra they're built on, and in cases like Aave v4, being intertwined with infra itself. (Side-note: of course, simple "products" like memecoins or USDT are "complete")

Have had a lot more external calls over the last few weeks (haha! business). My assorted talking points about Farcaster that have seemed to resonate the most with people: Farcaster is Singapore,small population but high GDP Every user has a wallet The algo doesn't down rank links You can earn money for posting without a big audience Everything is programmable It's a decentralized protocol under-the-hood

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Growth comes from taking risks and learning through experience.

Sometimes, the silence between words holds more meaning than anything that’s said aloud. Listen closely to it.

.@jacob on the wisdom of the Midwit Meme: Most people use the midwit meme as a dunk on the others or to try to subtly suggest that they're on the right side of the curve. I love how Jacob uses it to look inward and instead push himself toward simpler thinking: "I love the midwit meme because it's mostly a vaccine for myself to stop thinking too much. I have a tendency to extrapolate too far, or go to big extremes, or construct worlds or potential scenarios or products that might not exist. I can just look at that image to remind myself to think way, way, way less. Like, what is ostensibly the most dumb version of the thing, which is the most simple version, which is probably more correct? [So you're better off moving left on that graph than trying to move right?] "Yeah, exactly. The easiest way to be gigabrain is to be smooth brain. I think that meme resonates so much with me because I can be the midwit very often. So it's a nice mirror to just be like, "No, chill out and stop thinking here."
