“Going online” is a behavior that evolved over 4 decades of janky modes to what it is now (The WELL began as a VAX machine in 1985 and is now a Madtodon server…?)

BBS/AOL-Compuserve-Usenet/We1/Web2/mobile

Wonder if “onchain” Will have a similar trajectory. Farcaster = AOL era?

L2s = Usenet?

zk probably yahoo or altavista

when no one is talking anymore about L2s, zk, NFT or the price of ETH we’ll know we are onchain

I think janky tech modes & w3 casino is like a forest we have to cross, in between why we would want to be onchain, different from online: ownership 

sometimes this gets lost in the noise
