A good way to assess someone's product intuition is to evaluate their generative vs. evaluative thinking. Generative thinkers see possibilities everywhere—the ppl who instantly envision 10 new features from the latest iOS dev kit. Evaluative thinkers excel at sharpening ideas, spotting flaws, and improving them. The best product minds balance both, but most people lean toward one. Cultivating both mindsets is key to better product thinking.

For all the current doubt, Ethereum is digital culture’s Fifth Avenue. Josh Kushner’s investing playbook: “Own property on Fifth Ave.” There will be other great streets, but none with the same prestige, liquidity, and staying power.

Feels like crypto is trending heavily toward either “definite pessimism” (aka PvP nihilism) or “indefinite optimism” (“bring the world onchain”) according to the Thiel matrix. We need more definite optimism.

1/ Still processing the last 48 hours, but one thing is certain: we’re standing at the edge of a new era for crypto. Having navigated the Biden SEC's openly hostile stance on digital assets, I'm more optimistic than ever about the years ahead. The landscape is shifting, and the potential for real innovation is finally coming into focus. As @balajis.eth points out, the Overton Window isn’t just moving — it has been smashed. The question is no longer whether tokens are permissible. The question is: Can they be better? More transparent systems. Stronger alignment of incentives. A fairer, more open distribution of opportunity and value. These aren't just lofty goals but the benchmarks by which tokens will prove themselves superior to many of the systems we know today. And the tools being built right now are bringing these ideals into reality.

If you loved skateboarding, the internet, punk, rap music, tattoos, digital art, graffiti, zine culture, underground raves, or indie game dev before they were cool to the mainstream, you’re likely into onchain culture now. I've met so many bonafide legends from these subcultures quietly hanging out, basking in the scene. The same DIY spirit, the same 'fuck around and find out' energy, the same creative chaos. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

TIL that Lewis and Clark’s journals, one of America’s greatest cultural artifacts, are actually a bunch of diaries and notes discovered and added to over 220 years. Many have been found in unexpected places, including an attic desk in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a used bookstore in Philadelphia. There are big gaps of time missing and for decades historians have speculated that more will be discovered. https://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/item/lc.sup.missing /history invite pls

Any recs for wallet-aware ecommerce (Shopify?) solutions for a very simple online store? We're thinking about selling some merch and other stuff and would love something with on-chain abilities, including discounts for NFT ownership.
