many of the same ideas / narratives from 2017-2019 now being tried again in 2024

this is exciting – the infrastructure, apps, and cultural norms of crypto have completely changed in the past few years

but many people here weren't around back then, haven't studied past attempts, and think these ideas are new...

all i can say is if you're working on something exciting, go look up past attempts and writing on the same topic.

i guarantee you someone has tried the same thing, or something similar, before

and you can avoid easy footguns by just...doing some research

Snowman in Alaska doing snowman things...

completely opposite of what i'm saying. point is that you can learn from prior experiments so that you have more context on the problems you're trying to solve

Right just because someone else tried and failed, means you shouldn't try....
