using /jihad for musings now thinking we tend to underestimate the power of network effects in crypto eg, frames without farcaster user base are much less exciting but when you have network effects that allow for reach, embedded onchain activity becomes hugely valuable

ok but a @uniswap frame would be very cool context-rich swaps embedded in social feeds is so bullish

farcaster has been coming up more and more on the pod :) might need to do a full fc episode 👀
new podcast episode dropped with @ilemi from @dune if you’ve been meaning to go down the intents / account abstraction rabbit hole, this episode is for you 👀 we do nontechnical explainers for: + the modular stack + account abstraction + intents and offchain infra othersidepod.xyz/episode/91
so far, the primary monetization mechanism for luxury media has been patronage via collecting media onchain collecting is cool, but think there’s actually a lot more to explore here curation, co-creation, intimate communities, co-ownership are all part of the “luxury” experience too
who has written on / thought deeply about the relationship between intents and protocol moats?
ah this introduces an interesting new dimension! if you handle moderation at the protocol level (rather than the client), you risk limiting your protocol’s uses and market but that moderation could also be a huge value prop that actually catalyzes adoption
agree with this take! based on this, would add an additional nuance to the original cast which is that I think most of the resentment toward tech employees is toward big tech employees ‒ not really startups
agree that lumping startup + big tech into one group isn’t super helpful here I definitely see the risk for people working at startups, but struggle to see that risk for people working at big tech are you thinking the risk is mostly around market corrections causing cuts?
yeah this is a really interesting dynamic feels like our current best answer to curation and moderation is one-protocol, multi-client (so clients handle the curation and moderation) very interested to see how/if this works in practice tho
