    The recording of my talk from @bankless Summit is up! This unconventional talk dives into the WHY of crypto, something we unf don't think about enough anymore. I hope this is helpful context for folks who are new to the space, and a galvanizing reminder for the veterans. ๐Ÿด

    It is likely that we only have ~3 years remaining where 95% of human labor is actually valuable (i.e. earns you money) Most people haven't realized this yet. It is also likely that this will be the end of our current iteration of labor-based capitalism.

    How can you prepare? 1. Take advantage of this window of info asymmetry to gather resources. 2. Invest into things that will retain value post-AGI: hard assets (e.g. land/property), compute, food production, personal networks/reputation. 3. After 3y, build/join hyperlocal

    (3) may sound like doomer overkill, but I think what most people miss today is: The threat to humanity in the near term (<15y) isn't AI itself, but instead the societal changes that will be induced as a result of a changing economy. My prediction today is that after we reach a

    Daily transactions on Ethereum is approaching ATH for first time since 2021. Gas is 5-6 gwei today, compared to >300 gwei back then Congrats all - we scaled the chain!

    Maybe a good timeline is: - <3 years: you can take advantage of AI info asymmetry - 3-7 years: "post-work economy" begins resulting in massive job displacement - >7-10 years: we enter post-AI world, with either digital feudalism or an end to scarcity

    Thinking of starting a video series where I live-read the whitepapers of "L2" and "bridging" protocols and tear them apart. Y/N?

    Dirty secret that users and even dApp devs dont know: Pretty much *every* chain is held together by Elmer's glue, silly string, and the tears of their protocol engineers. Running a blockchain is hard - I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

    Today's @MultichainOrg hack is a sad reminder of the systemic risks tokens face from bridges. We believe these risks stem from a single underlying problem: โœจToken Sovereigntyโœจ We're proposing ERC-7281 (aka xERC20) - an open standard to fix this. ethereum-magicians.org/t/erc-7281-sovโ€ฆ 1/x

    It sucks to admit, but I have personally been guilty of this. At some point in the last bull, I (and many others) stopped being as vocally defensive of Ethereum on twitter. In doing so, we opened the door to centralized capture through projects like FTX, Luna, Celsius, etc. And

    I find it extremely shocking how many folks in the space are perfectly ok with a US panopticon. We truly have lost the plot.

    I don't know who needs to hear this but: If the only outcome of crypto is making a small group of people incredibly wealthy, then we will have failed.
