Ran across this gem in an interview with Doug Coupland in 1994. He was an early observer of internet culture and wrote Microserfs, which is "present day historical fiction" grounded in his time embedded with programmers at Microsoft. It's amazing how much this vibe is similar to crypto: very janky sometimes, but the friction of using crypto ironically leads to higher quality community! https://www.altx.com/int2/douglas.coupland.html

I can't bring myself to quotecast instead of reply. It just feels socially off. I'm trying to continue the conversation, not start a new one! Would appreciate a more reply-oriented experience. Maybe surfacing great replies in the algo instead of relying on people like @trigs to find and quotecast them. I'm sure that this has already been considered. Just my 2c.

In the same way that Harvard is a hedge fund with an educational arm, crypto is a casino that funds an applied cryptography lab.

My best purchase in the last 3 months. Can do squats or deadlifts with one bar. No squat rack required. Switch lifts each day to avoid overworking muscle groups. 2 sets of 5 reps makes me feel like a new person before I have to stare at the computer screen for another 4 hours.

I was going to deploy my first contract from Speedrun Ethereum (shoutout @buidlguidl ) to the Sepolia testnet last night, but the gas fees were so high I couldn't get enough gas from the faucets! Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Looks like I'm incredibly unlucky!
