I am heading back from the Funding the Commons conference in SF this weekend and the conversation was easily my favorite part. Web3 is full of smart, interesting people building for a future they want to live in.

Did you know the inventor of Ripple (the protocol that became the fintech company) is named Ryan Fugger? Can’t be that common of a name, can it?

That sounds cool. Like a Farcaster VC investor cooperative. You might be interested in this thing we just built, a dApp for turning any fundraiser initiative into a Farcaster frame: https://staging.givecast.cfce.io/

Islands in the Net and Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling were two recent reads that I really enjoyed, and his novella Green Days in Brunei. Great worldbuilding.

Prague Cemetery, Baudolino, Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana and Numero Zero by the same author are all great reads as well! Eco is my favorite. His critical theory/semiotics essays are also good, but can be pretty heavy unless you are familiar with the territory he’s describing (information theory and so forth.

I wonder if finding a way to include Web3 eco-credits in green bonds issued by reputable legacy finance players (eg HKMA, whose green bond offerings have consistently been oversubscribed), using the logic that blockchain-based MRV systems are more transparent, this might alleviate risk and increase participation.

I assume the answer will involve regulation of blockchain by nation state/legacy financial system players. Behavior is guided by incentives right? So unwanted behaviors will be shifted by disincentivizing predatory actions and incentivizing other ones.

So if I understand correctly, it’s yet another system set up to benefit a small group of insiders dumping on hopeful retail users? Why is literally everything in this space so extractive and hostile to non-insiders? Don’t the people making these decisions realize that is self-defeating logic?

Ethereum was started by Goldman Sachs alum Joe Lubin, ConsenSYS built JPMcoin/onyx, they have close ties to the highest level FDNY law firms via former SEC head Jay Clayton, the World Bank and BIS, MAS, HKMA were testing private EVM chains years ago…I think ETH will be alright. But you never know!

You know an idea’s good when you immediately see how it could be used to create utopia or start a war.

One angle to investigate might be doubling down on Farcaster as the home of the network state/network society and blockchain-enabled impact efforts like @refidao @greenpillnetwork @gpdevguild.eth @edgecity @treegens @networkstate

Love Danang! Central VN is beautiful- ungodly hot in summer though. Eat a bowl of mi quang for me, please! A good heavy machete makes opening the coconut easier btw- but IMO the move is to ask the vendor to open them and decant the water into another container.

My favorite Campbell book (so far). His lectures are great too- I recommend his East Meets West series. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0Dcew_LBEpQbpM8znCiBG5vcF-X0urf&si=voYK0ngzMAfnIB-b

I think you are trying to make a point about institutional integrity propelling growth but in doing so you also made the point I was trying to make, which is that colonial power relations have intentionally destabilized nations in the global south to keep them dependent
