random thought: wallet is a weird mental model for sign-up / sign-in in web3. 

This is for @fileversee. I don't want to sign up with my wallet for product / company that is new and doesn't have obvious social proof / trust to me as a new user. Real cost to wallet vs email downside is capped

Decentralized social media should be built differently:

🛑 Not around engagement rates
🛑 Not around vanity metrics
✅ But around real outcomes

It should be a space where people:

✅ Learn new things
✅ Build new things
✅ Organize IRL meetups
✅ Push ideas forward

A tool for productivity and purpose — not distraction.

Let’s stop copying traditional platforms. 

Let’s build something better 🚀🚀🚀

Love this sentiment, basically opening the frontier of what social tech could be as opposed to doing essentially variations of twitter or snapchat clones. 

Want to see more zany stuff!

ETHDenver is the largest Web3/ Blockchain festival on the planet - Denver 2/23 - 3/2/25

@ethdenver are there any people who are or have done ethnography-type research related to EthDenver? Phrased another way: people who have looked at EthDenver (or Ethereum gatherings) from an anthropology lens?

The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology.

Last year I started converting my book highlights / notes into 1-pagers. It’s been such a joy to do.

Here’s one related to education:

i feel a great kinship with people who yearn to quench their intellectual interests. 

where passion meets obsession

find obscure sources, dig through history, jump down rabbit holes, pace in circles, ramble, draw diagrams, journal, build communities. 

could be a night bender or years of focus. 

just for fun.

Anyone else in Zuzalu interested in visa policies and reducing passport inequality? 

Some weekend reading: The Global Evolution of Travel Visa Regimes

Happy to share my 1-pager from the paper when finished for those interested.

Sharing in case there are others who turn their notes into 1-pagers.
