just saw peter thiel at my local gym in tokyo
took a pic with him, but i'm not gonna post it lol

quite a surreal to just see him randomly as i was working out lmao

[woid @0xwoid]

sup ct still alive?

[woid @0xwoid]

grin lore sure goes deep... keeps surprising me how things related to the project keep coming up even years later

and now we know that grin was shilled to Epstein at some point lol

[my @JeremyRubin]

it was grin lol

[woid @0xwoid]

dont outsource thinking
also books are good

[olaf @zxocw]

do not let anyone do your thinking for you anon

[olaf @zxocw]

changing imaginary social constructs inside peoples’ minds is harder than changing mechanical constructs in the physical world. psychological changes are also deeper and longer lasting. WW3 is fought on the psychic plane, and governments are no longer the sole participants…

[woid @0xwoid]

can think of life as being benched for 13b years,
then you get to play for 100 years,
then you are benched forever again

[woid @0xwoid]

but yeah for now ig we're going to get more and more l1s. the nextgen centralized hyperperformant l1s are good (unto, fogo, megaeth, monad, etc. etc.)

and what's good is that some are giving opportunities to get in at a good fdv too, whether echo or something else

[woid @0xwoid]

we'd probably have a last mover L1 at some point. and there's value in being on a chain with the most valuable state

otoh the winning architecture can be endlessly forked as well if you don't value the state as much and want more control

[woid @0xwoid]

in 2021 cypherpunk died
in 2024 decentralization died

speed, valuable state and composability is underrated (arguably has been underrated, but not anymore)

[CANTELOPEPEEL @CantelopePeel]

BUILD FOR PERFORMANCE, NO COMPROMISES.

I know I have been off the radar up until recently, let's catch up.

I've left Firedancer to found @UntoLabs. We are building a next generation Layer-1 blockchain.

[Thorondor LLC @ThorondorLLC]

New project! Optimize your stable diffusion prompts via a "chain-of-thought" style iteration - built with DSPy

[woid @0xwoid]

@0xJohannes_ strongly agree, yeah

[woid @0xwoid]

starting to think more and more that the term web3 could've been hugely misleading on where crypto was and would go

instead, it's possible that infra is largely the application, and what crypto enables is what stock market did for the world, but an order of magnitude better

[woid @0xwoid]

one thing i was thinking,

imagine someone creates the stock market in 1Xth century and u live that at that time,
and then everyone starts asking: "but what's the application for the stock market?"

is that rly the right question?
idk just thoughts

[woid @0xwoid]

web3 makes ppl compare with web2, and go back to that way of thinking

most ppl that grew up with internet and trad tech etc. are then conditioned to think that way as well

but could be the case that u just have to think differently abt all this, and what the "application" rly is

[woid @0xwoid]

@gautham_elango study study study

[woid @0xwoid]

a lot of smart ppl got into crypto 2021 (and then left),

but something else that happened was that it got everyone who was already into crypto, into one big collective room (ct)

felt crypto was more fragmented before, but now feels less so (to a degree), which is a good thing

[woid @0xwoid]

@severeengineer ty ty severe

[woid @0xwoid]

feels good to be back on woid
kind of want to do more things

idk, whether building, reply guying more, tweeting more, writing, etc. or whatever comes to mind. lets see ig

[woid @0xwoid]

@sudolabel @anishagnihotri i think it was some other guy, but yeah there are a few ppl that did this for fun lol

the guy im thinking of got banned on twitch mid-stream and moved to some sketchy platform to continue the attack--def can't remember his name at this point

[woid @0xwoid]

back in 2019 (?) there was this guy who was 51% attacking PoW chains and livestreaming it on twitch lmao

he bought hashpower through nicehash and then proceeded to reorging various chains, and started eventually also fought some devs who were trying to save their chains
