This piece of writing was originally published on Cent back on Dec. 18, 2018 under the title “New Governments & New Communities.” I’m re-publishing it here because the promise of proper crypto social products is again palpable, and I believe the tenets of infinite care & unbounded attention are as pertinent as ever for founders of crypto social products in particular to embody and exhibit.To form a new government requires infinite care and unbounded attention, for if the foundation is badly l...

The following piece of writing was originally published Nov. 4 2020 over on my old Cent page reflecting on my then half decade being a part of crypto (3 years as a builder and 2 years digging down into the rabbit hole). Honestly though, this piece feels more relevant now than ever, so I’m re-sharing it and putting it onchain."I saw a vision of us move in the dark; all that we did or dreamed of..." That quote is from The Tower Beyond Tragedy by Robinson Jeffers. What a trip. I've been ref...

I’m in the final stages of editing a new article for my Fakewhale Room. Working title: Community, Infinite Games & Cryptoart.
While everyone and their mother in crypto talks about ‘community,’ I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone actually offer a definition of what community is.
So, of course, I couldn’t write a whole article on community without trying to define it. I’ve workshopped the definition over the last month or so both in my own head (lmao) but also with some trusted friends in Seoul and I’m feeling good with the latest version. So without further ado, I present my latest working definition of community:
Community is any group or collective oriented around a shared infinite game that provides emotional shelter to a range of different participants
Would love to hear folks’ thoughts on this definition. I’ll unpack it thoroughly in that upcoming Fakewhale article too, so stay tuned for that.
