Sorry, so far I hate doing anything that interacts with Base “Free” “Fee of .0007” “You need < .0012” “Insufficient funds” I’ve minted one thing since the base adoption and it’s annoying crypto centric steps continue to make me care less. I don’t want more crypto, I want less

I get this, but depressing to read as an artist for whom the low gas is freeing & transformative. How about: anyone who wants to mint my stuff and doesn’t want to use base - dm me and I’ll airdrop and you can send eth. How does that sound?

For me, it doesn’t help. My principal being violated is crypto looked around and instead of building usability was like fuck it let’s build another chain to compete with 5 other valid options already deployed. What necessary functionality did base add that I couldn’t already get on polygon or base?

Jesse talking about what he’s building. He’s 💯 on usability https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323?i=1000624628707

I’ll listen to this today. I respect the effort and capability he and his team clearly have put in. Turns out making crypto usable is no small effort

I uhh, was not sold. I’m happy they’re happy, and I like the positive energy. No complaints there. Podcast question 1: why another L2? Answer: we think there will be a lot of them That’s not a convincing answer for me, I need to know why this exists especially since there are already options

Thinking on this, the best answer I have is ‘the culture’. Is it useful to conceive as L2s as countries from a cultural perspective? As a creator I value having the culture opened up and led in different ways.

That makes sense to me from the creator perspective, but that just gets us another tezos. Tezos is already an orphaned island of creatives, do we need two of those? Did we need one of those? Why build the same thing (an L2 copy) again?

The part in the pod where OP was compared as Washington DC and Base is California really pushed me away, neither please But let’s say it’s an artist chain, then shouldn’t all effort be going into creatives and their integrations? I hear them saying it’s about the next billion, so then it’s not about artists
