Another problem I have with a social network where every post is a coin: it comes at the cost of authenticity. When every interaction / post is wrapped in speculation, it’s impossible to participate or even observe any of it with trust in people’s intentions. It’s like the small talk at a poker table. Even when it’s fun / chill, every comment or question, even if kind, may be part of a larger strategy to affect the game and take your money. Puts you on defense / removes an element of trust from the dialogue. There’s a time and place for that obviously but I don’t see it as a positive default for a social network, unless it’s a social network that is for gamblers.

on-chain SVG becoming rarer and rarer asset class by the day. kind of good that it faded out of trend, because now the 2021-22 vintage of items that pushed the envelope are pretty few and far between.

The farcaster NFT bidding implementation feels literally 100X better and more natural than coining something as an ERC20. Annoying thing to say but “the medium is the message” and in this case it’s a way better message, to everyone.

Don't let algorithmic feeds melt your attention. Don't offload all your thinking to AI. Don't tokenize yourself.

I really do believe you take moral damage to your soul every time you put out a new coin, with a high bar for exceptions. Unless it's something that: a) Has long-term, unique meaning to you that comes from the heart b) Can only be done via the token medium (and the side effects of the medium are inevitable) Personally creating a new conduit for other people to PVP gamble against each other, while simultaneously taking a rake on the volume, without the exceptions above, is morally vacuous behavior. The more frequent, the worse.

I'm finding the "positive sum" language around coins really misleading. It's literally the opposite. If the way users make money from their content is when other users buy it, it's literally zero sum, financially. Not everyone can be making money, unless external capital is being injected from a another source (which is losing money).

Ever since ETH hit $3400, I've been enjoying a much more "basic" life. Flying economy just for fun. Cooking meals from scratch. Riding the subway in NYC instead of hopping in a cab. It's not about the money. It's about remembering what it feels like to be grounded in reality.

Just launched a new mini app on World Chain: FLAG! It's a tribute to Yoink! by @horsefacts.eth, one of my favorite crypto apps of all time. FLAG! is almost the exact same, with 2 twists: - Every human can claim once per hour, sybil-resistant thanks to World ID - You earn 1 $FLAG per second while you hold the flag. Link below.

I can’t believe this news came out and this guy potentially also rug pulled a $4M token and no one is seriously investigating it.
