So coining content is streamlining the process of posting a digital graphic to Craigslist and asking for people to bid on owning the rights to it. Does that sound smart?

I’m confused why I would post content to Zora if I have zero expectations for it? I genuinely don’t get it. Also, and sorry to be pessimistic, but aren’t most memecoins projects just scams? That’s the impression I have

Can someone tell me what the creator economy is on Ethereum apart from just minting NFT’s or tokens that you can sell your fans? Like, is there any kind of interesting unique business model that’s not a convoluted weird way of just saying “hey please buy my art on chain, even though you could’ve just watched it for free, as a way of supporting me or speculating on the price” ? Sincere question I’m not saying that that’s totally unvaluable. Platforms like Patreon are successful, but I kind of hope there’s a more interesting business model that either hasn’t been thought of yet or that I haven’t heard of.

Do layer 2 teams understand that by heavily branding their chain, that erodes the perception of credible neutrality? Ethereum feels incredibly neutral, in part, because it basically doesn’t have branding. There’s no official spokes people. It’s not associated with a big for-profit. No commercials. Ironically, maybe this is actually OK for right now considering almost all L2’s are still at stage zero, so the perception is actually accurate to reality. I think the best name for an ethereum L2 would be “ethereum L2”

are people actually impressed by a website that hosts regular open source chatbots and has a token that gives you access to said chatbots api? $1b!!!!!! You know what, starting to seem like this is ALL a joke.

The idea was over time, as the infra is built, crypto would become less degenerate scams. Instead, right now at least, it feels the opposite has happened. Honestly Silk Road even feels like peak Bitcoin.

VIRTUALS PROTOCOL IS A SCAM. IT IS A MEMECOIN LAUNCHPAD WITH A CHATBOT IN THE CORNER.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Virtuals is a scam. It’s just a meme coin launchpad with ponzinimics and an ai chatbot in the corner.

So this is the description on the Virtuals app if you click “good examples” while “creating an ai”. Wtf?

Has anyone done research on polymarket or prediction markets in general on how accurate they are? As in look at events that are at, say, 75% yes right before the event happens. And is it right exactly 75% of the time?

Can someone enlighten me— how is it ok that it takes 7 DAYS for a transaction on an optimistic rollup to be secured by ethereum? Until that point, it’s in limbo only secured by a few “trusted validators”? Serious question, and I’d love to be missing something

I can’t find a straightforward answer to this question. What percentage of txns are bots?

So how has the decentralized aspect of farcaster improved anyone’s user experience? I often forget this app is even decentralized in any way.

“We need apps” “crypto apps” “Ethereum App Store” is becoming a pet peeve of mine. Yes some stand alone crypto apps are useful like uniswap. But REAL adoption comes when crypto is implemented into apps to improve the experience. We don’t need crypto apps we need apps to implement crypto. Same with games.

2017 cycle happened because of new exciting tech. 2021 happened because of the fed/pandemic response (Pokémon cards and cars and houses and GameStop also went wait up). 2024 has no reason to happen. But we are getting a dead cat cycle fueled only by halving and 4yr cycle memers. It may already be petering out sadly.

Anyone else ask themselves why retail would ever come back after 2021? Scams, crash, … they think crypto is cringe. I was here in 2017; it was different. People just kinda said “well that didn’t work” and forgot about crypto. They didn’t think it was cringe. Only reason they come back is for a killer app

Investing in crypto can be dangerous to productivity. It can fill a void within you that strives for success. It can make you feel like you’re going to make it and you don’t have to actually do anything. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. Place your bets, then get to work on something else
