DAI getting hollowed out from a pegged stablecoin to a USDC wrapper really bothers me.

There’s still time to fix it. But what keeps me up at night is that DAI failing could end up being one of the biggest mistakes this industry ever made We had a decentralized stablecoin with network effects, something that could have really mattered to the world, and we blew it

Good little thread about why things feel hard as a startup today and why startups still have an edge when competing w/ larger companies

hard to not get a sense that the cultural divide between tech incumbents and startups is massive these days. it seems like startups are fighting for their lives and incumbents are mostly just chilling.

I remember our launch here one year ago The Farcaster community gave us the best product feedback we could have asked for, shared it widely, and some of y’all even built on top of our protocol. This place is truly unmatched for early app builders. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🫶

"If the part that is scarce [and therefore, differential] is human effort, then it will make us care about human effort more, not less." Really smart, nuanced take on why AI use alone doesn't disqualify art to most viewers.
