(cover image by Kaiotei) A few days ago, Solana’s unfortunate video faux pas had crypto people from all backgrounds aligning to reject its message, in favor of the idea that blockchains are—and should be—for everyone, no matter your gender, pronouns, background, or nationality. After such a long period of divisiveness, and in spite of an adverse market that has us all in a weird mood, we woke up to a different timeline: one that believes technology is audience-agnostic. Truth be told, it’s harder to build for everyone, because getting to know that “everyone”—and their needs—is harder than understanding a specific group and solving for them. But when you’re building chains or protocols, you really do need to think of everyone. Technology should be agnostic and serve as many people as possible.In a conversation before I sat down to write this, Pierre—an artist and builder I’ve known for a while—told me about his journey and the products he’s working on. He was calling from his studio, surrounded by these amazing, colorful paintings of charts he makes. He said crypto was the most fun place on the internet and reminded me that you really can do anything here. Just in the past few weeks, we’ve seen “vibecoding” blow up on the timeline and turn everyone into an app developer. During the NFT hype, people who had never made art before launched ambitious, meaningful projects. Take it outside our bubble, and everyone and their mother is becoming a podcaster. Blockchains are agnostic because they were built by people who understand life isn’t linear. You should be able to change careers, go anon, go doxxed—do whatever you want, whenever you want. The tech should be there to support that.Without further ado, here’s what everyone has been doing onchain the past two weeks.CultureBeen really immersed in the Louie videos latelyKaiotei’s latest drop killed it.
