The Fight for Outside Money
Here is a recap of @MacaesBruno excellent Devcon talk: Why Only Virtual Money Is Real Money. Or, as I interpreted it: The Fight For Outside Money (and the case for L2's as sound monetary policy). 1/14 How do we think about money? Money is perceived as a physical entity (when we imagine $ we think physical bank notes). But most money is not physical, it exists as entries in a DB. Money can be created at will with keystrokes from a computer. 2/14 Money, thus, isn't "real". It's v...

Speed of the World
Is the world moving faster? Let's investigate how “time is speeding up” and see how what used to take decades/years is now unfolding in months/days (+ how that impacts our future). 1/ First, what's an idea? Idea’s can be thought of as beings (non-sentient) that float through consciousness. Similar to a virus, their goal is to propagate and find new hosts. Good idea’s change the world, bad ones can destroy it. 2/ They exist as a connective tissue between humans. When an idea is share...

Creative Destruction
1/ I had a vision about the immediate future of the world. This is a thread on what is going to happen & how to prepare: 2/ Before we start, we’re about to navigate some challenging times. If you think the world is crazy now, strap in. Don’t panic though, take solace in the creativity of humans and that good will prevail. The world will be better off after the chaos simmers. 3/ Through this, I’ve discovered my life’s purpose: to be of service to humanity & help guide and provide light (even w...

The making of an Art Auction House - Tenzin Rose - Medium
www.artcollective.live It’s almost officially been a week since our team in Le Wagon initiated our final commits to Github, tuned up the presentation and shipped our app to the world. In what amounted to a frantic two weeks, we hacked together a working Auction House that would make our 1st Grade teachers beam with pride. Baby, we made it! So how did we do it? Figuring out the user journey The first step before any code was shipped involved figuring out what our users needed. Art has long bee...

A tale from the desert - Tenzin Rose - Medium
I recently participated in a 10 day silent meditation retreat (www.dhamma.org). The following is my experience; the ups and downs injected with a slice of humor.Sore knees. Leg pain. Gun shots. Fugitive on the run. Why am I here? A path through the misery of life? The first mistake was thinking Twentynine Palms had palm trees. The sort seen with an idyllic movie backdrop as the camera pans to some A-list heartthrob casually puffing a cigarette in a convertible. The dream was shattered when I ...
