I really enjoyed this episode of Peter Attia's podcase: https://peterattiamd.com/keithflaherty2/ . They spend a lot of time breaking down the difficulty in cancer treatment, changes over the past decade, the import

I said curious not dismissive. When people don't communicate like you it doesn't mean their ideas are bad.

Why stop at 2000 though? The internet is still full of terrible things today, many of which are the most visible, and most of which are happening because, money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU Terrible things o

Just more concretely closing the loop back to what you said. You said Instead NFTs are seen as an investment vehicle — they will appreciate in price over time, just look at BAYC. This is sometimes true, some of these NFTs are actually mor

On your final point: really easy to raise money and the irony of centralized projects built on the stack. Again, probably true... but to an extent. Take a look at that Chris Burniske talk I posted in the other comment. There are many things

On your second argument, the rich get richer. Again, it's definitely true... across the entire economy. In most of the economy, there are pretty much two parties that own the organizations. Those who create the organizations (e.g., fou

Okay, I'll write back with three comments in case people want to sink their teeth into these responses distinctly :D Your first argument: NFTs are primarily successful because crypto-holding individuals see them as a place to invest wi

You know that feeling when you see comment threads online and you are just like... _it's not worth it_. I think many of the good/honest/intellectually curious people inside crypto are ghosting through HN these days with that

The video is definitely not any kind of journalistic take-down. Here's a quote to frame the creator's view of anyone working on crypto. I love this paragraph because it outlines just how disconnected from reality people actually

If you're curious about how folks are exploring legal intersection with smart contracts, you might find the work of https://www.lexdao.coop/ interesting (US focused mostly for now afaik).

I haven't seen anything big in WASM on Textile yet. It should be done for sure. We use Slack because it was there and worked when we needed something. Onboarding is easy, our chats are open to the public already, and we didn't nee

That wouldn't be bad if done right! I think there are still "Firebase of IPFS" products yet to come. What we do that is a bit different is that we allow devs to claim some hosted resources (IPFS, Threads, etc) and then grant

There is no chain. It uses a set of protocols that have no consensus. They run in the browser. Here is a relevant merged feature in the ThreadsDB library today, https://github.com/textileio/js-threads/pull/136

It's funny. Web2 got so many things right, but early Web3 often tried so hard to abandon it all that it made for a lot of unnecessary pains. We've tried to take a more balanced approach. Decentralized where it makes sense (user da
