I’m long ETH, I don’t care what anyone says. No amount of money can buy decentralization. It’s wild bitcoin did it, and a borderline miracle Ethereum did it.
Let’s hope we see it done again, but we haven’t, so Ethereum is still better than all other tech in this market
(Tweet gets shadow banned every time I tag 23andMe) 23andMe have filed for Chapter 11, meaning their platform data will soon be on fire sale to the highest bidder. Spoiler alert - the buyer will not be someone you trust. Like Sei foundation and many others, we also begun to explore acquiring 23andMe. But this bid is going to disappear into deep and corner-cutting pockets. It’s out of the hands of anyone whose mere aim is to enable high quality biomedical research.
If you’ve done 23andMe AND want to use a real Story use case that exemplifies why Story network and web3 are valuable, use @genobank_io’s portal to upload your data and then delete it off 23andMe. This data is still immensely valuable, but you need to own it and be able to revoke access to it when things like this happen. This is exactly why we built Story; so builders like Genobank can make it infeasible to pivot virtuous innovation to customer exploitation when that becomes the easier route
Urgent Alert for 23andMe Users: Your Genetic Data is About to Be Auctioned!
As 23andMe enters Chapter 11 bankruptcy, your most personal information—your DNA—faces a critical deadline:
🚨 May 14, 2025: Auction of 23andMe assets (including genetic data)
🚨 June 17, 2025: Final bankruptcy hearing.
Simply downloading your 23andMe raw data file and deleting your account may not establish legally verifiable proof that you've revoked consent before these critical dates. Without proper documentation, your genetic information could still be transferred to the highest bidder.
https://t.co/D1SVEMB21c's Solution: We've launched our "23andMe Data Reclamation Portal" at https://t.co/ZVhF3RkCOk that provides:
✅ Cryptographically verifiable proof of your revocation on an immutable blockchain
✅ Timestamp verification that predates the bankruptcy sale
✅ Zero-upload processing (your DNA file never leaves your device)
✅ BioIP Ownership Token secured via Story Protocol
✅ 100% FREE SERVICE – no charges or hidden fees
Act Now to Protect Your Genetic Legacy Once your DNA 🧬 data is sold at auction, retrieving control becomes significantly more difficult.
Our portal creates the essential legal foundation to defend your genetic sovereignty.
Don't let your biological blueprint become someone else's asset. Visit https://t.co/ZVhF3RkCOk today.

We built a payment network specifically for intellectual property transactions, so it only made sense to also build a new library of Alexandria on top of it.
It’s day 1, and now we work to fill its shelves - but what we do know is this library will never burn down
The IP Portal Open Beta is live now on Product Hunt.
Your IP, your rules. No middlemen. No legal friction. Just a platform that allows you to monetize your ideas on your terms.

Age of social media -> if something is free, you are the product
Age of AI -> if you are not getting paid for your data, you are the means of production
To be fair 4chan, Reddit, YouTube, etc would’ve had to have been built on top of Story - but the idea is that a next wave of social media / content creation apps will be. I’d love to see Reddit or a Reddit-like on Story. Content creators can do exactly what they’ve already been doing except have the option to get paid / credited if they’re part of something that goes viral / commercial
This anonymous 2019 post on 4chan's paranormal board spawned "The Backrooms" - a massive collaborative horror fiction exercise which went on to inspire AppleTV+'s Severance and a Youtube series that was optioned by A24 for an upcoming film adaptation.
To this day, the originator and original sub-creators have never been identified or come forward. Severance's creator acknowledged in a Reddit AMA that he would've been open to crediting the original creators if there was a way to do so.
If Story had existed at the time, they could've returned to a wallet with licensing residuals in it, or at least have a fast track to a WGA writing credit to start their screenwriting careers.
Would be a really cool experiment to retroactively bring the Backrooms community or a community like it onto Story network so they can all get their credit and have a springboard to launching creative careers. They probably went on to enter the matrix and grind in less fulfilling jobs.
@fdvci Yes. A key benefit of blockchain is pseudonymity. They could’ve exposed only an anonymous wallet address to get paid while shrouding the rest of their identity. Story isn’t built on a blockchain to get exposure to crypto. Blockchain is just the right technology for this use case
Need to see this creative economy experiment happen:
> a brand-owned AI agent negotiates a brand deal with an AI agent influencer
> Influencer produces the content with no instruction other than "make a superbowl ad for our brand"
> Influencer posts with no review human review
