1000% This really does take us to the next chapter of the crypto renaissance - when aggregation struck back it wasn’t empire vs revolutionaries but different communities organizing into diff geo-political federations based on opportunities 👇
The Puritans left England due to religious persecution in the 1600s. They later formed a nation called America.
Is this nation of America now going to drive out crypto people in the 2000s due to software persecution?

But this isn’t just about saving money. It’s about giving everyone control and ownership of their money.

In a nutshell, the transition between the middle ages and the renaissance was about re/creation - aka what worked previously stopped, features became bugs - until communities used decentralized tech to distribute value (ledger-based double-entry bookkeeping), communication
Side hustles used to be a choice, not a requirement just to break even. It’s time to break the cycle.

TLDR: The nation-state-to-Crypto transition will be more impactful than the shift from medieval to modern era...
... getting on board early is a good idea
This episode is EVERYTHING.
We compare crypto to societal transformations over the last 1000 years...we learn:
Communities create history
Bottom up always wins
This is a new renaissance
Prepare yourself!

We brought on

Problem with crypto is not the volatility, but once you're in, it's tough to imagine leaving the quality of the conversations, people, projects. That's perhaps why I'm most bullish, not just that the tech is 'better', but community makes going blue pill unthinkable

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Yes, yes, and YES!
Essentially speed of commerce (desire) and communication gained velocity (print, literacy, even sharing ideas), bottom-up, and so a new folksonomy of nomenclature flourished, vocabulary grew, changed, morphed, gained consensus.
hey
@JoshuaRosenthal
did new terms and language like this emerge during the reformation too?
i feel like crypto has created a whole new set of vocabulary rooted in market terms and it's anthropologically fascinating

Under the App Store's new fee structure for Europe, if you make $10 million in sales, Apple's cut is $6.2 million annually.
Assuming you have no operating costs or salaries, your take home amount:
$2 million after tax—or 20% of your sales
I will never launch an app in Europe.

This was a blast and hats off to
@BanklessHQ
for taking the time to consider the moment we're having and its historical, potentially epoch-defining significance
The Printing Press and Double-Entry Bookkeeping sparked the Renaissance by distributing the flow of value and information.
The Internet and Blockchains are doing the same today. Is this the Crypto Renaissance?

Think a/bt starting a Web3 Edu model - a marketplace for (honorary?) degrees minted as NFTs/POAPs. Emphasis on exchanges (trade 4 MPHs for a post-doc, etc). Credit for work/life experience, fees go to the liquidity pool for grants, etc.) Trade in your paper POAP (diploma)!
