The internet doesn't ask for permission. It breaks things, and forces you to obey its pull. Crypto exhibits early signs of both -- brute force & trojan horse-- dynamics. new Darkstar 👇 https://darkstarcrashes.xyz/piracy-is-gravity

is crypto (via BTC) the only tech revolution at mass scale that succeeded without being capital intensive (ie. raising capital)?

The most significant consumer revolutions arise from defying the will of established incumbents. we don't want to pay for music, click your links, ride your taxis, use your financial systems. destruction isn't the end, it's the blueprint for what's next.

"The nature of digital technology is to embed, mix, smooth, disagreggate; too often, the image of decentralization conceals a quiet recentralization elsewhere. It’s not just advertising that is closer to our bodies, but every kind of information. With cryptocurrency, the spaces of traditional finance are reconstituted in the self ... in which the access point for dematerialized wealth is no longer the bank vault but the individual and their personal knowledge (their private key)." https://kneelingbus.substack.com/p/channel-surfing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=12645&post_id=165204277&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=ix1v&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

most media revolutions are an act of thwarting IP. the duality of man. "creators deserve recognition, should be rewarded". but we don't want to pay for music, most media, click your links &, in fact, now will regurgitate & rewrite your ideas as our own (chatgpt).

the strength of IP isn't about the original idea anymore, it's about expanding mindshare. a continuous movement. anyone who's thinking about reinventing the way it was is going in the wrong direction (IMHO).

weird how as the web has evolved, who said it last (& loudest) reaps more "rewards" than who said it first.

Crypto has spent years figuring out how tokens relate to infrastructure—but the focus on how tokens connect with consumer products is new. And that shift will push crypto way further into the mainstream than any infra breakthrough ever could.

internet opened floodgates for mass distribution. social networks enabled that for media. crypto enables that for money -- stables, formation, investing, etc.
