Vitalik Buterin

In apps, 80%+ of the difficulty is in figuring out which apps actually make sense to build. I think this is why a generalized pitch of "we need apps" gets applause from pragmatist types but ultimately leads to no action - if our vision for the world is "WE WANT STUFF HAPPENING ON OUR CHAIN!", that's very uninspiring. Meanwhile, specific categories of apps are starting to do well! Lots of progress in zk identity and zk social, all kinds of interesting stuff in info finance. I think if we want more apps, a more definite-optimist approach where we talk about specific types of apps and what kind of world they will lead to will be much more effective.

Somehow @vitalik.eth gets a lot of flak in the valley e/acc circles for sounding caution on AI risks but anti-ai is an extremely unfair characterisation. Ser is an ML dev with no anti AI cell in his brain cc: @pmarca

shitters are a black mirror social experiment that show how much human creativity can be inspired by crime - by the sheer power to scam and rug anonymously without consequence 🔥

Every L2 airdrop is a chance to build good vibes for the ethereum community... rewarding insiders, nerds and the elite only is an opportunity lost

Ethereum's main technology challenge is that erc20 sucks and bula came before zk is ripe no one gives a fk about the roadmap as long as we can bridge freely and swap like retards on mobile without approve() non stop I am assuming @fede_intern solves this

You don't want to be a crypto project where the token valuation is based on revenue rather than hope, community, vibes and memes... the only exception are perp/spot dexes... maybe

For full disclosure I look and feel 100x richer than I am Its just how I have felt growing up in a middle class hypereducated family among the poor of rural India Money wont make a crypto guy who feels poor rich, and having a zero or two less won't make a guy who feels rich poor

Its crazy how much the eth maxi layer has done to keep $ETH down - mass exit to farcaster - alignment blabla - lukewarm vibes for eth defi - relentlessly bring attn to solana - libtard narratives from bankless et al - sell the bottom and keep selling around it ETH still back!
