I've definitely been slacking on my "1 cast per week" goal, so to make up for that, how about I do an AMA for the first time?

Topics I won't reply to: trad crypto infra (L1, L2 etc), prices, or personal questions

Are there applications that were good in 2014/2017/2021 Ethereum that you are no longer excited about today?

Conversely, are there things that were not exciting or feasible then that are good or possible now?

I'm somewhat more skeptical of "decentralized sharing economy" type stuff than I was a decade ago; it really does feel like the efficiency gains of economies of scale are greater than efficiency gains of unlocking spare capacity. But if someone does manage to figure it out, I'll be very pleasantly surprised!

One interesting angle is tapping into previously "invisible resources"

Imo what Eigen did with Ethereum is discovering the "security" property could be repurposed + tapping spare node operators capacity

Similar new "digital resources" could be discovered who would then play in the "decentralized sharing economy"
