YES. some feedback below

Charity: this narrative was so profoundly abused in the NFT cycle that it caused a fissure between narrative and material reality. Solidarity over charity. Individuals providing mutual aid and sending resources directly to comrades doing work.

Amassing funds from individuals to pour into the non-profit industrial complex actually centralizes resources instead of decentralizing them. The way we conceive of charity generates more coordination problems than it solves; many causes and regions receive funds but are unable to meaningfully improve.

Background pressure:

We are at a stage in the game where the networks that coins generate are begging to have character. This character functions not only as brand identity but as a magnet for directional alignment. Build coins about something. Build cohesive subcultures. Give the networks meaning.

Take these same principles about financial disruption you have identified here and continue to deploy them to solve coordination problems all the way down. Do not plug into extractive NGOs that are disincentivized from solving the problems they advocate for solving, disrupt the supply chain with distributed networks.

Whew! Would love to chat about how I was trying to do this alllllll last year exhaustion and disillusion set in like folks just wasn’t that into social impact x blockchain fr fr

This was so hard to do last year, I really feel you. Will read today. I think this moment is special. 100 $Degen.

Instead we should lean on the networks we are building. Give directly to comrades in conflict zones and only give what they know they can meaningfully deploy and coordinate. Stop building overwrought performative charity brands and start deploying mutual aid and solidarity across the decentralized networks.

Totally agree re charity being mediated . Funds are siphoned off by narrative hi-jackers — large NGOs, consultants, auditors, on the back of local populations. Not a crypto problem, but one it can help alleviate (despite current flaws)
