It's interesting to see how many people hold the views simultaneously that: - Tik tok is state sponsored and acting in their own interest - Tik tok is exposing the "truth" of luxury good production Over fitting personal beliefs of luxury goods market it seems

Using AI to collect files on specific repos, converting to MD, then plugging them into NotebookLM for documentation of objects, methods, states, etc.

Does anyone know if there are screens floating around of the original referral programs that Paypal ran via email in the early 2000s? The ones where an end user would receive something like "claim XXX dollars by signup up"

One of the most underrated trends that predicated the rise of stablecoins is how all charts starting around ~2021 were denominated in USD or BTC/ETH No one concerned themselves with EUR, JPY or other denominations

It's more simple, crypto rails need to be a means by which we do something, not "the thing"

I would stay the course on using the same brand, maybe as a just a different product? If the belief is that Wallets become the "everything app", most features will end up consolidating in the app and sub branding might be weird. Like Google and Apple, keep it simple {Name} - {product)

Although not on same price scale as Tulips, Hyacinths also underwent a "mania" in 1700s France https://aradergalleries.com/blogs/news/the-hyacinth-in-the-18th-century?srsltid=AfmBOoqGedOHfFUkvFEOArgWFKq79MUypfupGthluzcBSeWyZOHPVhB2

Favorite quote: "Communities find themselves at a loss when value is thrown into doubt. Tulipmania did exactly this. By creating a novel set of cultural values and potentially altering a longstanding social framework, Tulipmania rendered unstable the whole notion of how to assess value."

Finished this book by Anne Goldgar and didn't realize Tulipmania as we know it was mostly untrue? Or at least the interpretations we get from Madness of Crowds Reminds me of when NFTs went crazy in 2021. Plenty of think-pieces but in reality, volume was driven by a small cohort of individuals
