I’d rather give my attention and money to builders creating real products. 

You should too.

Optimism Show

Enjoyed talking with @earth2travis about /farcastle and the future of DAOs on Farcaster… as channels and small bands of people collaborating towards a common cause. 
Exciting conversation coming soon on the /optimismshow! :)

Grateful for the chance to explore where DAOs falter and cast a vision of collective action

Spent the afternoon cursing at Claude about Cloudflare and the evening pushing pixels
