for anyone feeling discouraged about the future of crypto, now is a really good time to re-read @matthuang's "The Casino on Mars" 10/10 read https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/09/casino-on-mars

okay, let’s be a a bit more realistic and a bit less melodramatic. any serious DeFi project in the US that could be considered a security must play by US rules — which includes KYC and accreditation regulations. memecoins are positioned as non-securities so not subject to that. not the fault of “eth dorks.”

okay then why make the comparison in the first place because they are clearly two extremely different things as you’ve just illustrated in this cast yes there is limited demand for the option restricted to a tiny subset of people and forcing you to give up your privacy yes this space is “dominated by grifters and cults, not investors and economic security” because the former has an order of magnitude of less friction across the board something something, water flows thru the path of least resistance

why don’t you ask him directly? i shared a piece about embracing crypto’s casino culture, and pushed back when you replied with something snappy and condescending unrelated to the piece itself and instead related to the underlying quote cast. if you have a problem with him, take it up with him — not me.

Not sure why it is controversial to say this space is dominated by gamblers and cults. Just look around, it's literally the thesis memecoin god Murad presented in this talk that started this memecoin cycle. If you want to get rich quick, the easiest way is to spot the narrative early and get out. But let us not pretend it's anything more than identifying a cult early and gambling on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nqzwdGxTGc
