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.

We’re all just trying to navigate the ‘spectrum of enshittification’ I find value in believing in @streamm /warpcast/base >over twitch/X/AWS yes there are still ‘middlemen’ but compare and contrast those fees / autonomy against each other. Base may not be the end point we as CLs dream but it could* be a decent entry point
