This week I wrote about mechanics of sports betting being applied to on-chain fundraising and social capital coordination, and how these mechanics could fundamentally change the way projects raise funds by proposing a proof-based approach. Let me know what you think!

first week, first draft, here goes my rambling

some thoughts and questions given recent news re: "interesting content," changes to how channels work

to me, social platforms are marketplaces with "buyers" and "sellers" (in this case, of content)
- creators are "sellers" of their content goods
- enjoyoors / vibing / curators are "buyers"

as a content creator type on fc, i have expressed my concerns that the current fc algorithms punish new users too hard, which reduces possible audience sizes and makes the place not attractive to content creator types (and not fun for content consumers either!)

(i also want to emphasize that i myself am a "buyer" on other platforms like instagram, youtube, etc.! there is no value judgement to be either and we often play both roles.)

so what if instead, *user intent* is composable?
similar to how in role-playing games, you can play as characters with diff types of specialization

and it's set "per session," since sometimes I want to broadcast and share my content, and other times, support my friends with theirs

we’ve got the building blocks, and with every new experience, we're improving onboarding, payments, and creating fun onchain experiences

This week I set out to write an "open cover letter" for my job search – something that would articulate who I am and what I'm looking for

It ended up morphing into my career narrative... and I haven't finished yet

here's the /firstdraft of my intro

2 community commitment clubs have been v fulfilling: hyperfit w/ @nonlinear.eth + @phil and /firstdraft by @markfishman.

clubs like this existed for centuries, but the internet revolutionized them. now blockchain apps like @hypersub + @warpcast could do the same.
