crypto devs are due for a cultural revolution

venture slopfest grows older by the day, memecoins offer nihilistic alternative, but neither are satisfying for those of us sold on agent codification where rules are smart contract source files and enforcement is beautiful composition of cryptography and social consensus over code execution

the crypto we were born into no longer exists. but it's all too easy to forget where the industry comes from, where the technology comes from. cryptographers and game theoreticists lay foundations, but implementations don't exist without implementors

what we do doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to be the next ethereum, we just have to open the editor

ironically the smiplest smart contracts have stood the test of time the most.

Simple ideas with codified rules that then become the backbone of whole financial systems.

Though it's hard to make these really really well. Since it requires paying attention to the details.

to my eyes next wave is more mobile devs + good backends
