tgif! in honor of @dwr.eth, please drop your favorite examples of stated vs revealed preferences. i'll go first:

stated preference: "i care about privacy"
revealed preference: spends hours on TikTok

stated preference: "there is more to life than looks"
revealed preference: chooses the more attractive date each time

/ted | exploring the onchain frontier | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina

stated: “I care about governance”
revealed: 🟪 participation rates (which tbh are relatively high)

stated: “base is decentralized”
revealed: the only sequencer is run by a regulated MSB

stated: “we find crazy ambitious founders”
revealed: won’t lead your round but will join if someone famous does

fractalist. tech lead at cabin.city. founder of LBRY.com, Odysee.com, vibe.camp, @farcon, grin.io

btw I’m not calling out only Base

all the L2s are like this. at least Base has the license

tbh I’m surprised they’ve avoided the eye of Sauron this long. shows how little regulators understand the tech
