I feel like at some point people decided farcaster was a meta place for advertising to crypto devs, instead of The Community's GroupChat. How do we get back to the latter? Would love to be back here more frequently :(

trying to get help with a crypto repository - - sample code all wrong - split between several Open Source projects, all unmaintained - official endorsed project is written by one dude and has "highly experimental" tag - post in discord, three spam DMs within a minute, no maintainer replies (+ no other posts in the discord all day). "why is no one building" :(

the idea that crypto lowers fees for useful products (eg payments) is absurd innovation doesn't lower fees competition does. does stripe _need_ to charge 1.5% on pay with crypto txns? nope, but they sure can unless we have a renaissance of viable consumer-facing products, all we're doing in this industry is making stripe and visa's payments rails more profitable but you can guarantee they won't give up that margin until the market or a government forces it :)

you ever get those thoughts that the "bull market" was just a giant ponzi scheme perpetrated by like 3-5 people who are all in prison rn and that's why the charts are sideways

find it kind of funny that the AI guys, while largely intolerable, are trying to deprecate labor and fundamentally change society while the cumulative sum of 10's of billions of investment in crypto has tried to... produce a competing bank with lower fees and bypass gambling laws are we cooked? why are we doing all this? what will we tell our descendants?

@zkp2p ticket marketplace is going to be huge not because resales of tickets is a huge industry (it is) but because.... we're entering an era where the online marketplace is about to be reinvented if you can write some zkTLS code to prove; - "i own x" - "i transferred x to y" you can make abstract marketplaces for.. anything online

is the solution to "single payer healthcare" actually just starting the world's most premium-efficient insurance non-profit company with verticals around health/gym/routine-checkups and then out-competing everyone? even in that world, regulatory capture is huge and 4/5 americans get insurance from an employer... it would take a mass opt-out for any real change to happen
