One meta-note on the situation, is that in my timeline I have seen exactly zero non-western people defending Durov's arrest, but quite a few western people. Definitely don't want to say that they don't exist (after all, my timeline is biased just like anyone's), just this is what my sample is so far. IMO this is another example of the decoupling of liberalism and westernism that https://x.com/MacaesBruno often talks about.

Onchain social in 2024: 1) I mint something for super cheap (0.0001 ETH) 2) My mint goes into a social feed of people who follow me on FC 3) I earn a referral when they mint it 4) I make more money from referrals than what it cost me to mint it This is the viral design loop to solve with Daily Active Minters.

I also think this holds true for fundraising and thinking about how to value your company. I have so many friends and colleagues who were able to raise at insane vals during the last bull market and a part of me would see that and be jealous or think that I could do better. Now I realize that I was extremely naive and that building a business of that scale is insanely difficult and admirable. I've become fascinated with what it takes to build a successful product and realize that there's more to success in crypto than just catching the latest trend or cycle. You can see who's still here kicking and who's in the trenches learning and shaping the next generation of crypto. Hard to quantify it but feels like the founders that are here today will be responsible for the breakout applications that truly bring the world onchain. This should also serve as a reminder to be extremely honest with yourself about where you and your business are at. Your path is unique to you and you alone!

One aha I’ve had reading about quantum computing is that everything I’ve read is written in terms where it’s the quantum thingumy driving the computation, not the concept of user input in and user usable output, out. So I’m on a mission to get to the latter terms, not drown in the prior.

I've experienced working at a large traditional company, early stage startup, founding a fund, and founding a startup. Some random thoughts - AIG: work hard and learn a lot but difficult to have autonomy with layers of management, most there to collect paycheck, how you stand out depends on manager - Coinbase (30-150 employees): work hard but first time work didn't feel like work since cared deeply, tons of autonomy, first time working with many mission driven colleagues, can stand out taking initiative, did not have a sense of how hard being a founder was for Brian + Fred - Scalar (founded fund): work harder (no days off in week), decisions fall on founders so huge sense of ownership, lows are really low, first sense of how hard things can really get - Bountycaster (founded company): work harder than founding fund (default is work and then carve out personal time), cycles of highs and lows much more rapid than fund, feel most fulfilled due to ownership, mission, and connecting with users
