The left went too left and lost sight of themselves with extreme wokeism. It took years but this election was a self-correction. In our frustration with the fact that crypto "has no users" we have gone too far and these livestream coins are the top. There will be a correction, and EVM is well positioned. $ETH to 10K

The idea of "we need apps" for apps' sake is fundamentally soulless - it's a complete abandonment of the idea the crypto is there to implement specific changes in the world, make it a more free, open and cooperative place. After the last 10 years of internet and crypto, the idea that you don't need to think about this because "whatever you build" just does that as a side effect has taken a serious beating. At the same time, ignoring apps and focusing on general-purpose is a short term escape strategy - it lets you be in the happy place of thinking that you're helping, while other people figure out the hard stuff. Both extremes are ultimately futile indefinite-optimism. What we need is specific categories of apps that both (i) actually make the world more free, open and cooperative, and (ii) get organic usage. And we actually have examples of that! Polymarket is good, also anoncast has a good opportunity to surface the best kind of free speech, while avoiding getting mired in spam and low-quality content.
