Availability Cascades seem like the outcome of gain-of-function research on the most potent combination of mimetic and memetic theory ever designed. Memetics = ideas are Memes (Dawkins/Dennett) Mimetics = human desire to emulate (Girard) Great read. https://pmarca.substack.com/p/availability-cascades-run-the-world

I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 cohort, which starts this week. Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll get firsthand lessons from top crypto founders, receive guidance and support from @a16zcrypto’s investing and operating teams, and build connections with each other and the broader a16z network. The CSX Fall 2024 companies are coming to NYC from 11 different countries, and they’re building on every level of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping. We’re thrilled to partner with each of these CSX companies on their journey to product market fit. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/announcing-the-csx-fall-2024-cohort/

For anyone building at the application layer: Today we introduce cash flows for application tokens. Application tokens — which correspond to smart contract protocols deploying services on top of blockchains that relay rights in “distributed businesses” — have historically lacked economic models connecting the tokens to the cash flows of the underlying businesses they are embedded within. There are three long-standing challenges to connecting cash flows to app tokens. 1. Governance 2. Value Distribution 3. Regulated Activity

at its finest, acting is a medium for telling stories that ring full and true. part of every nerd's story is that they gave something up (popularity, social status, sitting with the cool kids in middle school, etc.) to become the heroes they are.

✨Why I'm Pissed THey Made Wang Miao Hot✨ scifi was the last holdout against hollywood's unholy crusade to flatten every character into its most feeble, commercially attractive & insipid form. it offered heroes whose stories were worth telling for reasons that had nothing to do w looks. scifi was for! the ! nerds!

Ok, Jose pfp

Today, I got to tell the world one about one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. It has nothing to do with raising money and everything to do with people, community, and what flows from the connections we make day by day.

Jose and Ethan are very well positioned to use their first-hand knowledge of communities like FWB to bootstrap SIC’s product development. We’re proud to support them as they help define and power the second generation of crypto social platforms.

Heading up SIC are @okjose and @ethandaya— two talented builders that we’ve admired for a long time. Both have spent their careers driving the cutting edge of crypto and culture, and have deep experience at some of the strongest brands in consumer crypto – Jose at @dapperlabs and FWB and Ethan at @zora.

SIC is on a mission to streamline and sharpen those experiments by turning the best ideas from FWB into an “operating system” for communities built around web3 technologies.
