- Contrarian take on high gas prices:
Gas price is a form of spam prevention. But it actually is a market driven filter to discourage any activity that is not producing more value than the gas price.
So if the gas price is to high, the value if the action you want is to low.

- Excellent and really long article by Steven Sinofsky, former manager of Windows, about regulation and its consequences.
TL;DR regulators should be careful. Most regs are net negative.

- periodic reminder, that whenever you read
"The science is settled,..."
"scientific consensus says"
"scientists agree, that..."
You're reading an ad.
Nothing more.
- Lots of people
unhappy with the Starknet airdrop.
rETH didn't get any

Hard to do these drops right.

- The secret to crossing streets in low structure/high agency environments is that you don't have to cross the whole street in one go.
You only have to cross one lane at a time.
No one wants to hit a pedestrian.

- DAO governance should really be called DAO stewardship.
It's only purpose and justification for existing is if it serves the members of the DAO.
"To serve is to lead", yes, but humility and empathy are key.
- DAO governance, and the research and experiments around it, are crucial to society because states, like DAOs, exist to benefit those they govern.
There's no purpose of these organizations beside that.
DAOs should experiment widely to discover new ways to improve these systems.
- Am in Bali the next 5 weeks. Any tips? One day in:
- Amazing food
- Great climate
- Super friendly people
- great vibes
but also
- more crowded than I thought
- immigration took 2hrs
- Dog-coins... such a weird one. But they sure don't disappoint, it seems.
- Paying cash and tipping 10% is the same as tipping 15% (close to).
- Doing business with DAOs forces you to jump and trust that the proverbial net will appear.
No fixed timelines, unclear payoff, fluctuating counterparties...
Love it or hate it, it sure does not get boring.
- What's the name for the bias to prefer a self-inflicted cost now over a potential loss in the future?
- Berachain testnet is super cool!

- The multichain experience on Cosmos is about 100x better than on Ethereum. Lots to emulate there.
- Really cute video explaining the limitations of democracy and what we give up by not choosing dictatorships.

- Just recommended to a major DeFi protocol to avoid any hosting in Germany.
After Hetzner's public self-own last year and the general low risk appetite here, it's too unreliable.
Sad to see, really.

- A former GF was a yoga teacher with a strong penchant for the "spiritual" aspect. Found most of that douchy and contrite.
Except two gems that remain with me:
- All spirituality is practicality
- Magic is a change in perception
Still love those two sentences.

- Ethereum is the chain I feel most aligned with in terms of value and how it develops.
But in terms of usage, just how it feels like to transact there, my fav chains are @optimismdao.lens and @0xpolygon.lens
Totally unsubstantiated opinion btw. Just a "feeling" thing.
- Continuing to write my upcoming monster blog post about DAO governance as an experiment in scaling coordination.
Focusing on voting mechanisms and successful experiments this time.

- DAO governance has only two goals.
1. Unity of intent - What do token holders really want and how can they align on their goals.
2. Efficiency of execution - How can it
get done at the best price, with the best quality, in the shortest amount of time.
- I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the current nation state is looking less and less capable of effectively coordinating people at the scale and speed we deserve and require.
- Pretty hard not to be bullish on decentralized social.
Feels great to share value and find frens without "being the product"
- AI and crypto are a lot alike in that everyone sees the potential and that it'll be much needed in the future, but it's yet unclear for *what* exactly it's needed.
Early stage WWW vibes. I love it.
- Weather forecasts are just astrology for people choosing their wardrobe.
Change my mind!
- The solution to the principal/agent problem is to make agents principals over how they work and make sure they participate in the outcome.
Self actualization is important for everyone.
- Just crossposted this to Bluesky, Lens, and Twitter at once with yup.
- Is voting the only way to achieve an inclusive and "democratic" outcome in DAOs?
In my article, I argue it isn't and that polls tend to be much more divisive than they are usually perceived. I propose another way to get DAOs to light speed and to make them more inclusive *at the same time*!
