Interesting tactic: when introducing yourself, offload self-promotion to a friend.

A few weeks ago, a friend called me his "storytelling doula."

It was 28% cringe, but I also kind of loved it.

I help clients birth their ideas into language that helps them grow their business. There's a lot of breathing, some moments of panic, and occasionally someone screams.

Introducing yourself -- especially verbally -- can be a mess. 

We get trapped in boring patterns, garble our words, downplay our magic. We overcomplicate trying to sound impressive, or shrink ourselves out of fear.

But when a friend describes what you do? They have no stake. No anxiety about sounding too full of themselves. Their words carry none of our baggage.

Next time someone asks what you do, borrow a friend's words. They probably see you more clearly.

i don't get this move - can someone explain? 
why would they hire him

"privacy" isn't a cypherpunk "narrative"

it is the normal thing

we can just call private chains normal chains

and everything else "transparent chains"

seeing each other's tx history / balances / spying on counterparties is the version that needs explanation or "narrative"

Really, all of cypherpunk / free software / ... is just trying to preserve boundaries that were unquestioned in the year 1900.

My novelty app is live on jokerace as submission for the First AI-Agent-Led Autonomous AI hackathon under the Story Bounty: Best 'AI runs on IP' Project track.

What it does:
"This tool generates new research ideas with a custom AI model that looks through an arxiv paper, finds innovative potential, generates a seed idea and uses SAKANA AI AI Scientist to flesh out more robust and fleshed out ideas. These ideas with title and abstract are then scored for novelty, feasibility and impact using elements of SAKANA AI AI Scientist. The ideas can then be minted as an NFTs. Each NFT can be registered with a Story Protocol IP license and the terms of the license, which are predefined to include a 5 % royalty on the deployed custom contract, are registered with Story. These research ideas are then transferrable as their NFTs and the minter can obtain 5% royalties which creates a market of ideas on chain."

I think there's a big opportunity for a onchain builder + streamer archetype to emerge this year

ship cool things 10x faster w/AI + onchain, do it live on stream, show the world what's possible, go viral. 

who's going to define the category?

Thanks @caphillcrypto for the excellent summary of the DeFi broker regulations in your newsletter today. I only had a couple of minor nits to pick with your explanation of the rules. Details to follow:
