Are we sufficiently decentralized yet?
About four years ago I wrote that a social network can claim to be sufficiently decentralized only if two users can find each other and communicate, even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it.
A lot has changed since, and I thought it would be useful to reflect on how

The AI hotel in Altered Carbon was a really accurate depiction of what AI will and won’t be able to do. Skynet on the other hand requires magical thinking

I used to be a huge @jessepollak apologist until today. Definitely changed my perspective.
$JESSE wasn’t just a vanity launch today, it was a middle finger to every real builder on @Base. While legitimate teams grind with zero marketing support, Jesse used the chain he controls

The awareness of the grift is spreading…which shouldn’t be surprising because it’s the same stupid ass grift as has happened multiple times in the past handful of years

i’ve been debating writing this, and maybe as a founder it’s really dumb of me to

Stablecoins are the only meaningful thing to come from crypto and it turns out we don’t need any of the existing L1s or L2s to convince people to use them
Crypto was about decentralization, it’s become about memes, likes, and follows, both of these are DOA

With zero responses, my new official understanding is that this L2 is a zombie.
At the current rate of anti adoption of crypto in any form other than stable, I bet Base is also zombified in < 2 years and if Ethereum remains as incoherent, then it’s dead after that
How could this be? Well it doesn’t require a team or...

Why is social the gayest thing ever, because it only ever works when you adhere to the desires of the algorithm and model that runs it and those models are always fueled by the need to exit VC money. They’re not designed for any real value, just value extraction
Fuck social, fuck Dan, fuck Coinbase. They had a shot t...
I have no reason to buy farcaster pro
I missed the initial boat (it launched while I was doing dad things)
For months it had little to no value since the nft was all there was
Don’t trade warplet enough to make it worth it
