A single person can rebuild 100% of what farcaster is in 3 months if you understand the architecture
You can hate them for the power they wield over you, or you can take it away from, or you can do nothing and whine about it like a little bitch
Reminder that Dan sucks and Jesse suck because it was always obvious how this would go and they chose not to think that hard about it.
The AI hotel in Altered Carbon was a really accurate depiction of what AI will and won’t be able to do. Skynet on the other hand requires magical thinking
Stablecoins are the only meaningful thing to come from crypto and it turns out we don’t need any of the existing L1s or L2s to convince people to use them
Crypto was about decentralization, it’s become about memes, likes, and follows, both of these are DOA
This place I’ll be dead in less than 2 years, base will deflate to a zombie chain, and there’s nothing to stop that from happening to ETH either.
Coinbase is blight no different from binance, just lesser in all dimensions
If you’re thinking about building your career in this or the like, don’t.
With zero responses, my new official understanding is that this L2 is a zombie.
At the current rate of anti adoption of crypto in any form other than stable, I bet Base is also zombified in < 2 years and if Ethereum remains as incoherent, then it’s dead after that
How could this be? Well it doesn’t require a team or coordination to build a chain any longer. Existing chains only remaining moat is its network.
Ethereum doesn’t matter anymore but it was cool while it lasted, sort of
Someone want to convince me
@polygonchain
isn't a dead chain? (Also they have polygon.base?? 😂 I think I have my answer)
Why does their current testnet have only dead gateways for 3rd party testnet token at sites that themselves aren't dead? This chain has been live for a year and nobody could be bothered to update testnet links seems highly suspicious. Nobody fixing this tells me that there aren't any devs trying to get testnet and none there to fix it...
Why is social the gayest thing ever, because it only ever works when you adhere to the desires of the algorithm and model that runs it and those models are always fueled by the need to exit VC money. They’re not designed for any real value, just value extraction
Fuck social, fuck Dan, fuck Coinbase. They had a shot to do something different and chose to do nothing new or creative, just copy the last and lamest human slop.
The single most important commonality between all ai doomers is that none of them are engineers with the ability or understanding to implement these things at scale.
Moreover, researchers are notoriously garbage engineers and architects. Nothing they say or believe about scaling is credible, it’s not their skill set. You’re listening to a botanist tell you about the engineering required for a city’s water supply, it doesn’t make sense
