being an influencer explicitly tied to an ideology is ideal for building and monetizing an audience and really bad if you want to use your influence to change policy or public opinion

the onchain business, the next evolution of the startup with AI and stablecoins, networks of prosumers… that’s where i’m hovering

Before crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they couldn't pay for themselves. Weekend over by the time you set up Stripe and configure all your billing alerts. Live in fear of fraud, chargebacks, and an unexpected infra bill.

After crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they had no distribution. Write the contracts, test the contracts, build the frontend, write the tweet and pray you get 10 likes. Live in fear of a smart contract bug, die because nobody clicks through to your website or knows how to use a wallet.

But you? You can have it all.

crypto will make it 10x easier to start and run a profitable online business

the era of the onchain business is nigh

simulations is an art project exploring my relationship with screens.

bc erc20s don't have contracts to organize them, i created a miniapp gallery.

v1 only has the "album art", $sims, but v2 will include the full gallery.

.15% of volume through the frame will buy/burn $sims

native

Had the pleasure of working with @fffflood over the last couple of months on a /native rebrand.

Native partners with ambitious founders to ground work within a compelling narrative that gives your users something to believe in. We root your company with great ideas while pushing forward what's possible through exceptional writing, thinking, and getting in the weeds day-to-day to grow your business and improve your product.

The stacked forms in the logo take inspiration from steps, pages, and building blocks, representing the foundations we help create and a path forward.

Lately, I think about my work as a "GTM role player" – I plug in, lay key foundations, and then help level up your company. I think this is a great reflection of that direction.

More to come, but really excited to get this out into the world. Much love to the goat @fffflood.

thank you for your trust @jihad - it has been a pleasure working on this and a ton of fun really pushing through concepts to get somewhere really striking and refreshing. long may it continue!

a publication is as good as its people, and the people are ideologically inconsistent and two-faced in their approach.

as an example, Pirate Wires is heavily biased but at least they’re transparent about what you’re getting. from day one of Bari going independent (and maybe even before) she has been disingenuous about her own politics and writing and that culture has carried into the rest of the publication

very disappointed that Tyler Cowen is writing for The FP now… joke of a publication
