Empire Builder

Here's the thing. @diviflyy & I aren't just building a project to extract from "the market". 

We know that "the market" is actually our frens, our family, you & me & all of us.

We are creators, builders, founders.

We're building tools, resources, an ecosystem for Creators, Builders, Founders.

Because the Empire that is rising is each of us individually
AND all of us collectively.

its wrong to think of our speculative markets as a hot ball of money that you can squat on, rent seek, and direct the $ towards whatever noble thing you care about 

when I see certain meta pitches or narratives, sometimes the pitch falls a bit flat because they sort of admonish traders but also depend on their participation to succeed

its why I don't think the "slap a pumpfun fun on 'er" model is at all interesting, its why we're beginning to provide highly differentiated options for interfaces to provide creators with tools they need to succeed (v3.1 + v4 both, soon) 

for demand & volume to flow towards something it must flow from someone, some body of users, some network of interest

/clanker | @ me if you need anything, don't dm

I know the intentions are often good, but we seem comfortable talking about supporting creators, but uncomfortable engaging with certain facts of the active market we have, and thats a mistake. 

glanker / empire builder crew is cool to me because they are showing up for their users (creators) and providing them resources to succeed. they're doing it in a way that has positive externalities for traders, too. and that is the correct impulse imo
