drama over in twitter land abt how the base twitter handles things

what do we think

is this warranted

to what degree is it bc it's grok

shld other products get more shoutouts

@_proxystudio @artkollector_ @0xBreadguy @base @0xDeployer There are so many founders that would kill to get a simple shoutout or simply in contact with Base

But Base decides to engagement farm that "Grok launched a token." Which I bet can be challenged in court. Grok did not launch a token.

@0xKawz @_proxystudio @artkollector_ @0xBreadguy @base @0xDeployer to be clear, i’m not asking for shoutouts from base, but the latter that’s being mentioned here

just getting in contact with the team was actually an absurd process, even with them on our cap table

it took another founder to say “what the fuck you don’t have a group?” and then…

i can definitely see how it feels selective but i don’t think that’s the intent from the base team 

any ecosystem twitter account is going to hop on a hot trend or narrative to “be supportive”

not sure this is really any different

Stay Curious // iixii // Lazer Technologies // Prev: CoinDesk, Roc Nation // based

ye i think hopping on trends is fine, although arguably ai narrative is in like its last inning rn

ai16z already went from 50m to 2b back to 200m

yeah but the ai agent stuff will persist even though it’s been way overheated 

I think we’ll see more interesting and more advanced ai agents with their own tokens 

smart teams will start thinking more about how to create demand for their token with a product or how to create good token sinks

what do you think does meaningfully change the consumption side demand for tokens?

im not sure that most meaningful agent work will be tokenized tbh

maybe we can oeprationalize this into a bet

i think that demand for tokens comes from products (which might be agents) but idt they meaningfully change the consumption side demand for tokens
