My thoughts on Higher haven’t changed much in the last few weeks, anything specific you’re curious about?

In regards to the article I'm curious if you think the Optimists collection and Aether satisfy the NFT and AI agent components for Higher? Are they, in their current form, strong enough to make higher a top 10 community in crypto? If not, what needs to be changed/enhanced? And speaking of Aether, are you working on a v2 or do you think it was just a one off fun project? During the initial AI mania $higher caught a bid in what I assume was the market pricing it as an AI coin, but only tangentially. A lot of people didn't know Aether was related to higher because it was different name (they even created an Aether token). In hindsight, do you think it was a miss to not name Aether something like higher_bot or higher_ai, so people from outside our community could easily understand what we're doing? Sorry for the word vomit. I just started typing and then realized I actually had a lot of questions for you 😀

Great questions! I think generally the parts are mostly there for Aether - the decentralization and lack of character IP means we're a little different than other projects, but ultimately I think we're in a good spot. The AI agent isn't necessary for the projects IMO, like you mention it's mostly just a narrative / way to catch a bid. For Aether v2, I'm exploring a lot of ideas. When I launched it, there weren't really agent tokens like we have now, maybe I would have named it something different if I knew what I know now, but even if it was called HigherAI, I think the token would have experienced similar things. Higher is scary because there are so many projects, memes, coins who pop up, capture the zeitgeist and explode past our valuation, and then usually come back to reality. Just like Higher's first pump. But ultimately we are trying to play a longer game - we have to remember we are doing something _different_, not just competing with everyone. We want to win our way, it'll just be slower at times
