I burned through 8oz of bubble juice in like 30 minutes with my kid today. And I was turning off the bubble machine every time he wandered away. 

It was an obscene quantity of bubbles. So many bubbles he stopped caring about them. One of the first times I’ve felt “back in my day…” syndrome so viscerally.

I recently learned about the news that Cabin is winding down operations and distributing money to its token holders and wanted to share some reflections.

Learning about @cabin back in 2021 (from a VC, when I was living in Australia) was one of the reasons that first brought me into web3.

Cabin is winding down operations and distributing the money in the DAO's treasury proportionally to token holders. If you are a token holder: before May 13th, make sure all of your tokens are at the address where you want to receive USDC.

Cabin pioneered the concept of network

What would a fundamentally new design that solved for this look like?

🎉Calling all NYC Builders!

I’m looking for volunteers for the annual CS Fair in NYC on April 2. This event brings 2k high school students and their teachers to a “science fair meets career fair” style event to inspire kids about jobs in tech

This year I’m producing a No-Code Builder Hub to show how anyone can build apps in this AI age. 

We’re looking for volunteers from companies to demo what they are building and individuals to guide students through prompt-based building on no-code platforms. 

More details here, DC me if you want to join!

Are there any other good examples of headless brand community tokens similar to HIGHER?

Haha nice! Glad to hear it, congrats on the 10x.

There’s something ironic about the fact that the best way to bet long on Base right now is to buy an offchain stock
