hot take: despite great intentions, bankless is now the anti-signal.

after almost exclusively covering projects in which they invested/received tokens, they now enable speculative behavior that only adds friction/frustration for builders.

I'm actually impressed by the extent they maintain editorial independence. (e.g. Kraken is their biggest sponsors but they are constantly talking about Coinbase / Brian Armstrong.)

I don't think their audience is harcore builders (like Farcaster). I think it's people who noraml jobs but are interested in crypto

For actual onchain stuff I don’t think there is any content company out there better than bankless. Very comprehensive in how they educate

Can confirm, not a builder, Bankless is how I first dipped my toes into the water (to my financial detriment) in Nov. ‘21. Can still remember Raoul Pal saying he was all in at the literal top 😂
