I will say this though. Going through both Paragraph and Mirror today, I still find Mirror to be a better product, even in its deprecated state than Paragraph with all its funding and active development. I encountered dozens of small bugs in the past few hours that give me concern. But I've already decided, the next time I move the blog (which has gone from BuyMeACoffee, to Substack, to Mirror, to Paragraph), it will be a simple website, not a platform. Hopefully that's not necessary.

My subdomain, blog.thumbsup.me, now redirects to my Paragraph. I've also made a number of small tweaks throughout, and updated some older posts. Additionally, I've hidden some old posts with outdated information about projects, companies, or whole blockchains that no longer exist. Going forward I intend the posts to be a bit more focused and potentially shorter. That's to be seen though. Make sure you subscribe.

I have imported my subscribers from Mirror to @paragraph and intend to go all in on one platform for the foreseeable future. Mirror is an incredible project that I loved to bits for many years, but it's deprecated and I see no point in wasting time crossposting. Hoping to have some new content again soon 💚 https://paragraph.com/@thumbsup

crypto should be maximally focused on emulating the privacy, a necessity of fungibility, offered by cash private transactions should be the default form of transaction

Great counterpoint to Vitalik’s post. What’s your preferred approach to open source licensing?

There’s a lot in here to agree with. Specifically, the idea that copyleft can create a sort of mandated flywheel of open-source acceleration; my words not his. Definitely worth a read, as always. https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/07/07/copyleft.html

❝ As Donald Trump’s imperial presidency rolls forward across the wreckage of Congress on tank treads greased by the Supreme Court, there’s scant evidence of a legal movement for limited government or states’ rights. Trump is not the useful tool of an aggressive right-wing movement. Why look for complex explanations when there is a very simple one at hand? He is the king they serve enthusiastically, a leader whose lies and lawlessness they both enable and mirror. ❞ https://www.theverge.com/policy/697301/trump-supreme-court-founding-fathers-july-4

You know how I can tell AI coding is getting more popular with software companies? Updates are coming quicker, and they’re breaking more things. New features are being rolled out at a rapid rate but they’re broken or so ill-conceived it’s clear they went “from idea to implementation in seconds.”
