On Narrative Strategy

Plenty of founders think they have a narrative problem, and they think "great content" is the solution. What they actually have is a conviction problem masked by a content addiction.

Content alone doesn't shape markets. It's just proof you exist in them.…

i love the idea of fee-funded media

as always, the question is “how do we get the eth”

Brand Coins

If attention is all you need, then a token that can shape and amplify the attention on the current thing in a values-aligned way becomes the most valuable asset imaginable. 

While other projects must succeed within their defined scope, brand coins can continuously…

What are the most underrated "future of work" startups, especially AI enabled?

Think: Cursor, Replit, Splits, Clay, etc.

Companies that enable the next generation of businesses/startups that people might not know about.

“Smart Enterprise”
“Augmented Individual/Team”

Not sure what I’d call this category.

what an insane 48 hours
his presidency hasn't even started 🤣

thank GOD the market is closed tomorrow lol

I keep seeing people vaguely freaking out on Twitter and there’s so much happening that I don’t even know what they’re referring to anymore

Does $TRUMP make you more or less bullish on Base? Ethereum generally? Clanker?

in this framing Farcasteronians export game will need to be strong and also whatever the crypto equivalent of Thailand's 'Global Thai' culinary diplomacy is.

I think the dark forest theory gets it wrong. The internet isn't retreating into private groups—it's building cities. Everyone can see them, anyone can join, but you have to fully live in one to understand what's being built there and appreciate the knowledge and culture.

the market is a specific network of people buying a specific good/service at a specific point in time

shaping the ideas that shape us /native /believein 🇵🇸

This is the role of narrative r&d: worldbuilding, market making, network craft, etc. 

Whatever you want to call it, the goal is the same: give people something to believe in that will hold them together despite the chaotic environment.

The internet accelerates network entropy. "Winning the market" is a fools errand if that market won't look the same tomorrow.

Your job isn't to serve a market, it's to shape the market. The people you serve should be united by the narrative you put forward and benefited by your product. Without the former, the market you're serving today will inevitably disapper.
