On a serious note, Hasanabi streams on Twitch, that is owned by Amazon and makes millions of dollars doing some pretty radical politics. So my cutesy prompt is probing at the question, can we be MORE radical in our politics, more radically decentralized, anti-fragile and profitable by cutting out payment provider middlemen using something as simple as @hypersub and building our community’s tools (in America atleast) on @base ? By my calculation of crypto’s decentralized and autonomous ethos, the answer should* be Base > Amazon That doesn’t invalidate or disregard better* tools and chains out there, but it does recognize the consumer ease and ‘adoptibility’ by normies just getting onboarded into the space. Hopefully I’m right and Base can at least be somewhat* or just more; BASED✊

"Base > Amazon" In what way? Brian Armstrong is just another billionaire CEO who is vehemently anti-marxist. We're not really cutting out the middleman with Base, are we? We're just shifting the fees to coinbase instead of Visa/PayPal/whomever. Base has already taken $56 million in fees last year

But yea I dunno, I've become increasingly more skeptical of crypto since the institutionization that has happened over the past few years.

What does it matter who or what a founder is if the platform is mechanically constrained on how it can be abused? If Base is Stage 2+ then it shouldn't matter who the founder may be.

As to your point about him being “vehemently anti-Marxist” We can couch our beliefs in different terms than typical leftist ideological jargon. I think equating decentralization with democratization is the move.
