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

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 🫶
