If it’s the Dominican Republic airport, then I know from experience you need four hours or more

Yeah I’m surprised they did this. I guess to cash out on what little hype they did have. Cause this was obviously gonna be a self-own

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?

This is exactly the vibe I get from non crypto people. Or even crypto people like me. I don’t even begin to understand why I would want to take something like instagram and add “buy” and “sell” to the posts. I’m just trying to look at photos. not look for a degenerate gambling opportunity.

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

I like the idea of a streaming platform for indie artists that people can pay to watch movies on, and subsequently invest in the movie to earn a share of future revenue. Like retroactively funding it and investing in its future success. I agree real value accrual is tantamount for crypto in general

Well, I have a couple of ideas, but I’m really hoping there’s something someone else is building. That is both. 1) only possible on crypto and 2) provides real tangible positive sum value beyond speculating on something or effectively donating to “own” something that by owning doesn’t actually get you any real tangible benefits. I can imagine something on farcaster, for example, where you can pay a creator a set fee to get a response from that creator to a question (video or text response). What would make it unique to crypto compared to cameo for example is there could be a very simple oracle process where using economic games you could incentivize people to vote on whether or not a response satisfies the request and hold the money in escrow until majority vote says it does. This would make responses higher quality than on cameo or just donating to a streamer or whatever. And considering it’s on L2 eth rails could be extremely cheap To run (camera takes 25% fee)

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”

As a test? Here you go. Virtuals is a scam and claims to “power” roblocks, TikTok, and others, despite having no affiliation in any way with those products.

Base not just a blockchain? It’s barely even a blockchain. It’s an L2. Why are you downplaying Ethereum

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.

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?
