jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...

I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

Had an article go viral the other day.
Well, viral, within my little corner of the world.
Still, it was fun to see it happen.
More importantly, however, was the topic…the power of Atomic Composability.
The idea that any piece of software can interact, permissionlessly, with any other piece of software on a decentralized ledger….well, that’s really powerful.
So many of today’s Layer 1 blockchains focus on the issue of scalability, but they are making a big trade-off when it comes to the composability because almost every scaling solution out there breaks composability.
That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face type of stuff.
Over the long run, the exponential power of crypto comes from the composability.
The other superpowers of 1) intermediary-free two-sided marketplaces 2) tokenization 3) decentralized applications…well, they all come standard.
It’s only composability that isn’t a part of every Layer 1.
I think, believe, and hope that will be a big deal.
