sometimes i get very sad that i spent the last four years of my life full time in crypto. i read papers from other tech sectors all the time—one friend is working on a soft magnets start up, another stayed up all night with me talking about lithography machines
a meta engineer told me they’re working on an agent framework that specifically handles llama models and i know anything that comes out of crypto will soon look like a toy in comparison
i have this general sense that ive fallen vastly behind my friends who have been on the forefront of biotech research for the past three years, the senior i looked up to most when i was in college took her research on quantum computing research and turned it into a public company
there really are only two or three companies doing genuinely cool things in crypto, otherwise you kind of just get stuck selling a token for outdated tech to an easily awed audience. it feels really shitty and i take what i make from crypto and rotate it to tech sectors that genuinely excite me—for the past two months I’ve been buying dips on nuclear energy stocks because it forces me to challenge my sluggish ‘nothing ever changes’ crypto brain and engage with something that will change the world in the 1-3 year timeframe
im really sad because it feels like my understanding of the world and my ability to think critically about science / tech have atrophied because i spent the past few years understanding blockchains that will be radically commoditized and face a steep adoption curve when i may have been better off reading deeply about another field
i think a lot of smart people in crypto get burdened with a social weight to stay in crypto and all of a sudden their mental energy is sapped into silly meaningless twitter drama and fights, wrapped into inane bureaucracy of man children that can’t handle the objective fact and criticism, they’re stuck building silly toys for degens, how much of that intellect and sheer will could have gone to something more substantive back in the real world because how can you have a serious product and a token, ever
it’s hard to say if id be financially better off had i invested my time elsewhere, but im fortunate to be a part of this group of people that don’t really care about material wealth, just find meaning through challenging work. the only way my life has changed is my clothes are marginally nicer and i actually say yes to ski trips now
the world must be explored
> Deposited 500 $ME in the pool, single sided
> Set up the pool so it would work between ~7 and 8 dollars a token in case it reaches it while I sleep
> Wake up with a sweet 50% because it caught volume while I was asleep
FeelsGudMan @MeteoraAG@thegoosedao
@RadiantsDAO Ok i get the " gud tech " " its the future " etc etc, at this point, since like 2021, whats been build thats interesting ? few things in defi that is available to everyone and thats about it
Raydium still has an AdminCancelOrders instruction, last time it was used was for the migration from Serum to Openbook after FTX collapse
Should we pressure them into removing it since there is a lot of SOL locked forever now with memecoin lp burn meta 🤔
Curious to see how this will unfold.
Are projects always reaching out to the same 1/1 communities because there are the same people inside ?
or
Are they reaching out because they share the same goals/visions ?
Issues of Dao 1/1
Part 3
Problem : Same people in all 1/1, always cause auction
Solution : Select 75% of normal guys, people who never left the space ( real grinders) and 25% real solana workers, no Kol, no Shitfluencer
With this selection method, we can also give an opportunity to people with fewer resources who have worked hard over the years. By taking 25% of workers from various ecosystems, we will create great opportunities for our holders.
Problem : Incomplete collections and auctions in different market conditions.
Solution : having the 100 pieces available for everyone in the same time.
With this method, the DAO will not lose value in terms of price on the secondary market, and we won’t have unhappy holders because their NFT was purchased for a higher price in the past.
This is the last day for filling the form!
On Wednesday we will give the exact amount of request and we will start the selection 🫡
