Here to stay in touch with internet friends. I like frontiers where bits and atoms meet. Currently helping robots learn to think like more humans @newtheoryai
Real conversation I had at ETHDenver
Me: “We’re Cabin, a DAO building a decentralized city. Our first node is a 28 acre property outside of Austin, TX where we host retreats and residencies.”
Cryptobro: “wait, so which metaverse is this in?”
95% of NFTs are money grabs, jokes, and experiments that will collectively be worth $0. The other 5% will create a composable layer of ownership that shapes the future.
the biggest gap in web3 is what made web2 work: communication
- there’s no native messaging for blockchain addresses
- DAOs grudgingly use discord
- our social graph lives on twitter
- it’s hard to retain users without email addresses
web3 will struggle until we solve this
If you’re over 30 and don’t get why all the kids are talking about web3:
- set up an ETH address (just google it)
- reply with it here
- we’ll airdrop your first crypto $BOOMER tokens
If you are young and ambitious, join a DAO
Actually…research 20 DAOs, join 5 DAOs, and then pick 1-2 that deeply resonate and contribute to them
No other path will allow someone, regardless of background, to convert effective proof of work into career opportunities faster
for anyone who thinks DAOs were just a fad:
prepare yourself to be surprised over the next 18 months as composable web3 social legos start rapidly coming together and enabling auto-magical coordination, identity, and reputation
I'm getting an early glimpse and its beautiful
the masculine urge to crowdfund a 40-acre property in Maine with 21 buildings (including a restored 1825 church) and turn it into a modern village for families and friends
DAOs are divergent: good for exploring edges, trying new things, iteratively innovating
Companies are convergent: good for executing on a specific, well-defined task
The most successful DAOs will be composable networks of DAOs and companies, structured like economies
The first prototypes of the @creatorcabins passport card
Embedded with a chip that holds the private key to unlock IRL experiences and spaces at Cabin:
just picked up our first @DeGodsNFT via Mint Club
after meeting @frankdegods this week, I am bullish on his commitment to building a world-class internet native community
Also ended up spending hours talking with @WillPapper, @JonathanHillis, @fifthworldzach, and @joey_debruin.
One of my favorite conversations of the year.
There are still so many smart people in this ecosystem still here and creating incredible things.
