Memes

I actually think the growth of app layer is exactly the time that good social philosophy is needed *most*.

Analogy: imagine that C++ had been made by a totalitarian racist fascist. Would it be a worse language? Probably not. C++ is general purpose, there isn't much surface for bad social philosophy to wreck it (or good social philosophy to improve it).

Ethereum L1 is not quite in that position: someone who doesn't believe in decentralization would not add light clients, or FOCIL, or (good forms of) account abstraction; someone who doesn't mind energy waste would not spend half a decade moving to PoS... But the EVM opcodes might have been roughly the same either way. So Ethereum is perhaps 50% general-purpose.

Apps are ~80% special purpose. What apps you build depends heavily on what ideas you have of what ethereum apps (and ethereum as a whole) are there to do for the world. And so having good ideas on this topic out there becomes crucially important.

the unspoken part here is:

we don't have infinite devs, attention and capital.

if devs work on pump dot fun, they don't work on polymarket. 
if attention is moved to memecoins, it's taken away from quality projects.
if vcs pump speculation-centric apps, they don't fund value generation-centric apps.

What if Trump is not dumb or crazy but just feverishly navigating an inaccurate map of the world?

Like Disney producing woke movies no one wants to watch.
Putin thinking he can conquer Ukraine in 3 days.
Or Mao unintentionally starving millions of Chinese.

just shared a new version of kiwi weekly, thanks to @pugson feedback. 

formatting is still imperfect, but feels like a step in the right direction :)

we might get poor but at least memes are good

politics

If you're a fan of reindustrialization, recommend watching this documentary. 

It's a few years old and still a very useful lens to look at the US manufacturing competing with Chinese.

does anyone know someone from the @ethdaily.eth team?

good real-world example of how embedded wallets break identity

web3 becoming web2 but instead of email/passwords its now app-specific wallets (identities)

to fix, 1) devs must implement one-to-many identity mapping in thier app and, 2) users need to do the work of mapping (which they wont) *in every web3 app they use*

is this really a better ux than pasting a seed phrase in a pw manager? is this progress? 

given lack of web3 consumer growth the market says no

said that last year but no one seemed to listen...

@MacBudkowski Have you considered the in-app wallet route? https://t.co/88hlSPiVBb

@VitalikButerin Hey Vitalik,

Yes, we have considered in-app wallets. They work well on Farcaster, and we have our localStorage delegated keys for EIP712 signatures.

But…

1) Warpcast uses a wallet to bootstrap new identities for users (fid). It’s not what most apps want to do.

Most apps just
