Some days I question what Iām even doing in this space. I believe that the tech itself is neutral. But turns out the only real well proven use case is speculation, the capital is excessive venture funding, and the core demographic is mid 20s male libertarians. What keeps you going? What are you optimistic about?

IMO people get hung up on "speculation" and don't see the actual use cases past it because everything in life involved some amount of speculation: - Bread is on sale today? I'll buy two - Looks like it might rain on Sunday, so let's go to the beach today - Let's pivot to AI - They sound crazy, better swipe left

I mainly focus on solution/design space, I want us to have more optionality on how we solve problems (and create new problems). IMO technology that expands this kind of space applies to nearly everything. https://warpcast.com/binji.eth/0x5d525679

I find it really exciting to discover a new way to do something that wasn't possible before, even regardless whether it unlocks new use cases (it usually does but it can be hard to tell what they are until we've thoroughly explored it). Provable computation in an adversarial environment, for example.

Coming back to your original vibe: The biggest unlock I've had is decoupling how I make money from what I primarily work on. Until I did that, my "vision cone" of what excited me was extremely narrow and always focused around making money.
