People often ask when crypto products will finally take off.

The breakout product of 2024 across the entire tech industry (not just crypto) was Polymarket — which started as a crypto product.

Nobody credits crypto because it’s in the background. That was always the goal — fun & utility, not hype.

Our love isn’t a theory.
You + Me = Us is the law of attraction.

Paragraph

I started a practice of writing weeknotes a few months ago. I've done this for nine weeks so far, and I'm looking forward to keeping the streak going! 

I did this because I wanted to pay attention to my attention. It's just too easy to doom scroll your way into different rabbit holes. 

This is the most recent weeknote: https://paragraph.xyz/@dave/weeknote-week-of-2024-12-02

Drop a link below if you're also doing this! Would love to follow along.

Thank you, @phaverapp — I would have never used MagicEden unless Phaver had forced me onto it! 😄

I’m not your cup of tea?
Perfect, I’m iced chocolate—cooler & sweeter.

Chilling solo is great,
but a duo with you sounds better.

I just came to know about Purple DAO. It’s fascinating. You can also take the quiz, learn about Purple DAO, and earn some ETH

Been sad lately
Feel like my life is turning upside down

“Rolling Stone” magazine has named ‘His Three Daughters’ the best film of 2024. I’m waiting to see ‘The Brutalist’ (#5 on their list) before I render my personal verdicts, but I’m generally not a fan of dysfunctional family dramas, so I can’t imagine ‘His Three Daughters’ will be near the top of my list.

The reviews for ‘Nosferatu’ are coming in strong. In the U.S., the film opens Christmas. I’ll probably wait until the week of New Year’s Day to see this (I prefer to sit at home and do as little as possible during Christmas).

Happiness on a Monday morning is a mug of black coffee, a dog on the lap, and not a care in the world, at least for a little while.

The budget for Netflix's 'Arcane' Season 2 (which has 9 episodes) was $250,000,000! Yes, certainly, the visuals for this show are outstanding, but I didn't find the storyline terribly compelling (I forced myself to finish Season 2). Just not my cup of tea.

I predict the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada will be terribly unfun. Several of the venues are badly designed, with many having little access to public transportation. As this article explains, the weather will also be miserable. My plan is to stay at home and watch the matches on a giant 300cm television.
