    I was around 14-15 when I first saw the opening of Patlabor via the music video for KMFDM - Juke-Joint Jezebel. The whole concept behind that intro left an enormous impression on me. Too young to know I was too young, I suppose. The Laconic Foundation will be flipping the

    I don't really care what the capital gains tax is in either direction, but taxing unrealized gains is completely insane.

    I got into blockchains because I was interested in using cryptography to create robust equitable virtual economies and I only care about monetary policy in service of this goal. This makes me an extreme outlier on Crypto Twitter, I don't have any monetary fixations.

    I had to stop paying attention to MEV because even though I like many of the researchers and their previous work, no one could explain to me why they aren't working to simply eliminate MEV instead of "democratizing" it.

    Working in both ecosystems, it seems like the Cosmos scaling strategy is actually more radical and directed than Ethereum's. I did not realize that two weeks ago.

    The problem with Ethereum dapps is "The Deep Stack Problem" It took decades of nerds making systems for each other to get to the stack complexity that made web1.0 possible. We are trying to make a categorically more complex stack, with categorically less skilled people.

    How is it possible that we've switched from Yield Farming to NFTs so quickly? Why is the attention span of The Ethereum Community so short? How could it possibly be this short? I feel like I'm missing something basic.

    DeFi is filled with fucking idiots. I don't even care if the shit works or not, I just don't want to spend my time talking to dullards. Talking to fucking morons is a sure fire way to ruin my day, but they are practically unavoidable.

    I have a lot to say about the Binance hack. The Cosmos Ecosystem dodged a bullet and I hope we can all work together to fix the process and cultural issues that resulted in the exploit.

    We should just stop talking about sidechains. There are L2s, and L1 with trusted bridges to other L1s, if we have L1/L2 language, there is no reason to even talk about sidechains anymore.

    I wish people understood how misaligned the incentives in crypto are. There are plenty of Ethereum millionaires and a few billionaires, how many of them made that money from anything remotely resembling traditional PMF? Instead we have Product-VC-Fit or Rugpull-Market-Fit.

    Super happy to see EIP-1559 live on mainnet. It's the strongest evidence to date that ETH2 will just become ETH.

    Wait. Are most Solana programs closed source?

    Cosmos Zones, Polkadot Parachains, Ethereum Roll-ups, and Avalanche Subnets are identical. MLM at its finest.
