Stake = consensus, no? If one custodian controls 51% of staked ETH they could go rogue? With Bitcoin no % of Bitcoin controlled affects consensus.

Centralization of Bitcoin custody *doesnt* matter under PoW. It actually matters under PoS.

Been getting a recent uptick spammy DMs on Farcaster. Is this community socially inept? Spam DMs are a good way to kill a social network.

Yep, always bet on founders! What Airstack started as is different than what it is today; I didn’t know where it would go but I knew Jason would figure it out!

As long as I’ve known Jason he’s been a relentless builder, so when he told me he was raising for something new in 2022 I knew immediately that I would back him. Congrats to @airstack.eth and @betashop.eth for absolutely crushing it and particularly being instrumental in making Farcaster what it is today!

I would 100% migrate to a client without NFTs, tokens, frames, channels, and which mutes all token mentions

This is a good move but founders in SF will never understand how to battle in those markets

I hope to be proven wrong, but I’m not betting on it. (I miss the old farcaster community before the tokenization)

Blockchains are just another centralizing tool, with the default outcome significantly worse than traditional incumbents - removing all the democratic checks and balances, replacing them with grotesque plutocratic control It takes significant will and effort for a blockchain to realise its decentralizing potential

After 2017 ICO mania, many Bitcoin meetups went “underground” to secret invite only meetups that maintained a high bar for integrity and intellectual curiosity. These Bitcoin meetups are currently the only moral culture I observe in crypto. Any others?

The secret is out! I’ve been spotted giving a talk at @ethdenver by @bfaviero! Am no longer in Denver as I temporally displaced myself from Singapore just for this talk.

Didn't @vitalik.eth just post a hypothetical about this in response to the Skiff shutdown? Varun did highlight contract centralization but crazy to see it then happen right after.
