Loved HyperCard. I never got great at HyperScript, but I did figure out how to play midi notes.

All the people saying Tezos are right. Bring in a whole other network of crypto-forward folks who are not values aligned with twitter.

Haven't done any in-person public speaking since pre-pandemic, and yeah I get a lot of anxiety leading up to it. My main practical tip is to pause often and longer than you think is normal. It signals you're comfortable holding the space.

Except in this case the degen early adopters might actually deter and hinder mainstream adoption. Speculation got us to the current level of adoption, but is also a blight that taints the whole concept. I’m assuming mainstream people would prefer to keep ponzinomics away from their personal banking.

Definitely. Regulatory uncertainty has slowed down customer and market discovery. It also acts as an entry filter for the industry: how risk tolerant are you? Filters out the cautious people, lets in the gamblers.

100% I'd even go further and say that a lot of the speculation use cases are attractive because they are incomprehensible. Complexity is viewed as "alpha" and being as early as possible on hard to use systems is rewarded with airdrops. This is directly opposite of what we typically want to see in all other use cases.

Man, I misread stuff like that so often lately. Is there a name for the phenomenon of misreading in a way that reveals something about the reader? Like a Freudian slip but for reading?

I don’t disagree with that potential value. Most people on this app will recognize that kind of thinking. But that doesn’t change that the majority of actual revenue in crypto comes come people buying DOGE or leveraging 50x on GMX or sandwich attacking PEPE swaps. Or second or third order infra around those cases

Most of web3 is still bullshit. It’s an industry with speculation as its most massive underlying use case. Most projects are funded via speculation, directly or indirectly.

There’s an ongoing quest for legit non-speculation use cases: Private blockchains for enterprise coordination. Banking the underbanked. P2P payments. Payroll. Identity. Fundraising. But we’re trying to develop these narratives around people and projects mostly just here to gamble. Those are the early adopters.

The big ugly problem facing the crypto space: Will any of the products and protocols funded by speculation use cases have any use at all for mainstream use cases? Do Curve or Aave or DAI matter for people who aren’t using the blockchain like an underregulated casino?

yes it's quite a good series, epic in scope and scale that seems rare in modern science fiction. dark forest is great, and the third book's transcendentalism is fantastic.
