hot take, maybe should have anonposted.. but:

seems that a lot of normie "dyor" boils down to:
- reading a complicated whitepaper/roadmap
- seeing that it's conceptually complex, failing to understand it fully
- using that as signal to invest: "sounds impressive, must ape"

projects are hacking this signal by:
- creating more conceptually complex whitepapers
- comically detailed/rigid roadmaps
- coining heavy terminology to mean ultimately simple things
- shallow integrations with buzzword tech - e.g. "AI agent"

it's ironic because the engineered complexity kills any chance for that "utility" to be adopted or actually used. and yet it's "bullish"

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

the creator pretends the project has use and the consumer pretends to expect to use the project.

since we are thus in the territory of judging performance art, the more theatrical the better it gets rewarded
