the crypto cycle nobody talks about: bat: going heads down to build for months, getting a lot done, and losing touch with the community. butterfly: hitting the event and social circuit, being fully plugged in, and getting so little building done.

In the last week have heard of 3 early stage rounds with token conversion or other terms that will screw founders later. Hate when VCs take advantage of the info asymmetry. if you're raising for the first time plz talk to other founders and read Venture Deals. Or DM me - i'm no expert but always happy to share.

We've been talking about open systems needing flexible reputations computed on verifiable data for so long, it's kind of crazy it's actually happening all around web3 at once. h/t @sahil for making me pause and fully appreciate that.

Lesson I've learned too many times: don't try to skip steps.

Yes there's a lot more hype than product at the web3 x AI intersection. But cryptodata also offers novel solutions to organizations' biggest obstacles to AI implementations - data lineage, privacy, sharing, and governance. https://metadataweekly.substack.com/p/why-data-governance-fails-in-todays

Points aren't broken. Opaque & misleading points are. Web3 flew at points programs w/ high expectations, but no transparency + trust - the bedrock of Web3. A better way: transparent points for verifiable activities and data. Easy, scalable, trusty. https://twitter.com/ceramicnetwork/status/1787935441489936857

AI is in its infancy and I'm already tired of 'ramping up' so many different tools with my context, content and prefs. AIs and apps should 'come to us' - our own model & data store - vs making us go to them.

A year ago I was convinced the biggest gap to more mainstream web3 usage was product experiments that took advantage of web3-native value props. Now, pace of that has exploded and the biggest drag is how slow it is to work with certain parts of web3 infra stack. Farcaster has done the best closing this gap.

Since @ethdenver is always half about meeting other New Yorkers in Denver - any folks stuck on this LGA-DEN flight grounded at Colorado Springs want to get our MTG done now? Come find me at 27F.

Frames & Points are the 2 topics dominating web3 right now. If you want a break from frames to dive into how points fit into the evolution of tokens, reputation, and verifiable events - check out https://blog.ceramic.network/points-how-reputation-tokens-collide-where-it-goes-from-here/

If Frames could share state what could you build with them? not just on-chain but composability on any/all data across frames.

We're starting to see the evolution of data types in Web3 1. NFTs for higher value "badges" 2. Credentials for more frequent lower friction interactions 3. Signed events for everything Both 2 and 3 are attestations that can be no-gas, no-signature (via session keys), greatly increasing the data set available to web3

Awesome content for anyone working around reputation or verifiable data. https://blog.ceramic.network/repconnect-summit-istanbul-recap/ The team is organizing something great for Denver next month, if you're interested in participating hmu!

2 narratives to change before the next bull: On-chain/off-chain data: was a useful distinction before, but now is too binary. Eg verifiability, composability can be achieved "off-chain" now. Private/public data: need a more granular, access control based view of data governance versus this protective, negative frame

One interesting thing that happens in bear markets is content tends to be about new innovations and tactical advances, less of the foundational and theoretical canon about why we're all in web3. Fewer new ppl who need the latter, and less incentive to create and circulate it to grab audiences. This is mostly good, but

How much do LLMs reduce switching costs between web2 applications? Used to be the "export" of my Spotify playlists & metadata was a pretty useless mess. Now it seems trivial for Google to ingest, clean into its own format, and spin me up on YouTube Music with most of the same playlists and prefs and not miss a beat.

If Farcaster is for social, where does the rest of the data in web3 apps go? I'm overdue to share with this community our team's work on ComposeDB on Ceramic, a decentralized graph database for web3 apps, which went to Beta this month https://blog.ceramic.network/composedb-is-live-on-ceramic-mainnet/
