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.

Quarterly early on. Doesn't always have to be off sites but seeing each other at conferences etc. When COVID hit we lost that rhythm and it took us a long time to realize how much we were missing from that.

Choosing channels. Somewhat regularly have a discussion I want to have but feels like it fits in multiple places and hit some decision paralysis. I wouldn't advocate for being able to cast widely and spam many channels, but would love a way for certain threads or themes to natively cross relevant channels

Web3 AI/compute could own synthetic data generation. It may be the biggest opportunity in web3 for AI projects. Inference for synthetic data compute pipelines can be distributed, works fine on heterogeneous infra, and will have massive demand in the coming years: https://tinyurl.com/ysj8abh7

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.

Agree, consistently find this to be the hardest thing. My coach says "there's no empathy up" - really tough to have to eat all the challenges and pessimism and doubts without anyone to share that, but then maintain optimism and leadership externally for others.

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.

Too long: hire first eng manager. Someone who can scale up execution. Too soon: all sorts of processes. Especially eg levels and promotion tracks. Thought I was being intentional and putting in the structure for growth, instead was cutting off creativity and agility.

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.

If you're building with points or thinking about it, would love to chat - we've got an event in Denver, a working group is firming up standards for decentralized & interoperable points, and a couple of products about to be released.

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/

Though, I think there's other reasons to not tie financialization and preference expression together too entirely..

Probably doesn't need to be instantaneous, likes could be tabulated and paid out periodically. Think there's a big range where periods would be long enough to be economical, short enough to still feel like constant rewards.

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