At first I thought the fragmentation of social media would be a positive thing. But right now I feel like I can choose what reality I want to plug into by choosing the social platform I open in the morning. I'm all about different styles and different kind of content or fresh perspectives and unheard voices. But actually choosing what version of the world you want to interact with feels, well, dystopian. I think we need to have some kind of shared experience that we can all believe is real, otherwise...what happens?

The alt title was "Predictions for prediction markets," but I walked away from that for obvious reasons: https://paragraph.xyz/@open-money/whats-next-for-prediction-markets

If I wanted to create a generative NFT that makes a new variation of a header I use in my weekly email newsletter -- what would be the best way to make that happen?

One of the quotes that hit for me from the @ethereumfilm was from Ethereum researcher Danny Ryan early in the story. “I’m either going to work on this stuff or I’m going to live in the woods. I don’t think there’s much in-between for me.” I wonder who else that resonates with? https://www.danielmcglynn.com/vitalik-an-ethereum-story/

Did I miss a big channel update? I wrote a little piece about @ethereumfilm and was trying to post it in Ethereum-related channels, but I'm not a member so I can't post it there. I'm slightly confused because I thought the prevailing advice up until now was to cast into new and different channels to expand reach and engagement. Seems like making all channels members-only will just compound the fishbowl effect.

Pretty crazy how many central bank digital currency projects are in some phase of research, development, or pilot -- but how little we still know about all of the costs and benefits. https://www.danielmcglynn.com/central-bank-digital-currencies/

Recap from the game: A's walked it off with a play at the plate. The guy next to me dump his beer on his head to celebrate. I will miss the Coliseum. It might be dated, or imperfect, but it's also one of a kind.

Headed to see tonight’s game… “These days have been ones of great emotion for longtime A’s fans. They are making final pilgrimages to the ballpark where they grew up, where they brought their kids, where they fell in love with baseball, where they found a community. They are finding ways to say goodbye.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/annkillion/article/a-s-exit-oakland-hurts-worse-john-fisher-adds-19789332.php

Back in the day people started calling narrative nonfiction new journalism. The idea, or the newness, was to make information or big ideas more accessible through storytelling and deploy tactics like scene setting and character development. My take is that the next new journalism wave will feature onchain analytics and onchain analytics platforms. For sure there are all kinds of great stories to tell, and big nuggets of information to expose, from the endless streams of data. It's cool to see new analytics platforms come to life and grow. I think the next wave of adoption for these platforms will be when reporters start to use this info to tell stories and give more context to what is happening onchain in realtime. Innovation, access, power, control, fraud, grift, all of elements that make great stories are right there in the data. We just need more people to help bring them to life.

I was trying to get a better handle on the Base ecosystem. Along the way, I started to keep track of new projects. That turned into a Notion table or a database tagged by use case and with other info, like social links. I decide to make the database public in case other people are looking to do their own research or want more info on how to get onchain. https://www.danielmcglynn.com/base-database/

I just published this week's issue. I'm trying a new format and would appreciate any and all feedback. https://www.danielmcglynn.com/peer-to-peer-over-politics/

I just got the first issue of this newsletter. I arrives as a DC and is action-oriented, like "hey, follow these three people." That's useful to me because it helps surface new people, content, ideas. We'll see overtime how that shakes out and if that leads to exposure to new ideas or just makes my feed more confusing. Bigger picture, the idea of getting a newsletter-style DC once a week that suggests specific actions feels like it could have some interesting possibilities. One idea would be to curate the latest collectibles. Or maybe new onchain apps (would be even better if organized by category). Does anything like that exist already?

Is there a channel that curates playlists to listen to while working? I feel like I need some fresh, inspiring sounds...

I help early startups and technical teams with content creation, specializing in narrative building and GTM. I have a new opening and I'm looking to connect with teams trying to ramp. If that sounds like you, let's chat via DC and see if there's a fit. @bountybot

I just published this week's newsletter. The main focus of this issue was to share a database I've been working on that is a roundup of all of the projects building on Base. If you are looking to do some basic research, or looking for more ways to get onchain, you might get some value out of this. Check it out: https://www.danielmcglynn.com/the-world-according-to-base/

Got to coach in a tournament in Mexico over the long weekend. It was cool to see kids compete and have baseball be the thing they have in common.
