I love memes, but I hate memecoins. I hate the fact that random groups of traders can monetize IP that they didn’t create. And to make matters worse, they typically do it through insider cabal pump and dumps. Which creates carnage to the general crypto public that isn’t in on it.

People looking for a theory of everything that doesn’t include biology are just trying to one up Einstein (which is stupid) when really they should be extending Darwin. A theory of everything that doesn’t include the origin of the observer is a theory of nothing.

The unfathomable inefficiency of artists posting the same image, writers posting the same opinions, activists posting the same slogans daily in the hope the algorithm pays attention this time

Breathing Fungus

The reason this generation is inclined to want to destroy everything is because they have no stake in the future; no children, no assets, no legacy. The latter is a product of switching from positive sum symbiotic collaborative growth to zero sum status games.

Well yeah

I wonder how many Y cpmbinator companies made any profit before being sold

Interesting to see progressive corners start arguing for opt-outs now. This is the exact argument we were crucified for 2 years ago, and will likely be commonplace amongst activists once it is too late to do anything about it.

I just spent 99 cents on the new JD Vance emoji pack and regret nothing

that one guy advocating for non-speculative use cases on crypto twitter

Kaiju Crab heard u haven't listened to my latest single yet...

just as tech hits its peak, sentiment hits its low. completely wild we finally have the tools to create anything and just keep creating the same ponzis. it's like we spent a decade building the most beautiful city, and the only people who moved in were darth vader and the grinch

The more I think about it, the more I think 2013-era morality is pretty much correct: * free speech good * starting companies and making good products good * monopolies bad, vendor lock-in bad * democracy good * greed bad * trying to achieve national security through oppressing people bad * cosmopolitan humanitarian values, caring about faraway people, etc good Things we've "learned" since then have been harmful more than helpful

Retiring as a Ye defender

genuinely unsure how many of the legit creators and builders i’ve met will be able to stay in crypto they’ve spent years surviving off peanuts from an industry that barely supports them to make shit for real people to use meanwhile you can make 8-9 figures off vaporcoins in 24h

The value of a model is in data and its curation Emphasizing this point for years had you stereotyped as an anti AI person, when the opposite is true. We need more data, and more transparent terms for people to contribute it AI is us, in aggregate, with emergent properties

now seems like a good time to remind everyone that crypto is not american, does not depend on american exceptionalism, and in fact is a bet on declining nation-state hegemonies unlike just about every tech you’ve ever encountered, crypto is global, open-source, and open to all

Damn.
