Most people don’t have great relationships (friends, family, coworkers, etc). They haven’t felt what being witnessed, what being truly cared for, feels like. Judging people with “AI friends” often overlooks this point.

Onboarded another artist to @base this morning! I started a grants program (silica.capital) where I’m giving $1000 USDC to 12 artists throughout the year

Information should be kept offline and private if you want to retain an edge in a post-AI world

The word “vibe” is the laziest word to describe something that you like. Specificity of goodness (and badness) is good!

I refuse to believe that tokens can’t be used to solve the “value capture” problem for contributing to the commons

I envy the “public goods” brand halo that @optimism has seemed to monopolize (a good thing btw!)

I understand @worldcoin as building fair & durable asset distribution infrastructure. $WLD acts as an incentive to get as many humans as possible verified; it’s not meant to be UBI. And then eventually if someone wanted to distribute a form of UBI (or any other asset), World ID will be ready.

I’ve come around to the belief that crypto should be enforced anon. What is there to gain by being a “doxxed” crypto person (as a dev, leader, investor, etc) except public examples of showing what “good” looks like perhaps?

People are still building token launchers because using tokens to new projects hasn’t ever conclusively failed.

Every consumer founder knows that TikTok is important, and even more interestingly, that the secrets are locked in the brains’ of Midwest teenagers

Most people aren't willing to stake their reputation to ship onchain apps (let alone a token)

Tokens are stilllll the most interesting design material. Nobody has quite cracked it yet, still feels like there's a lot of room to improve the experience - onchain guardrails (to protect project leads & supporters alike) - smart defaults (for lockups, fee capture, etc) - early liquidity (to act on the new network)
