crypto doomerism 🌧️
- memecoins are crypto’s only use-case
- narrative > reality
- once i make it, i’m out
crypto optimism ☀️
- DeFi will eat TradFi
- we can and shall re-engineer human coordination
- in it to play long-term games with long-term people
I pick ☀️
Devs gathered in a hacker house are testing out a radical form of governance.
Called "futarchy," it entrusts the market with total control.

Bankless investment in Monad highlights the power of markets
you can tell your following all day that alt-L1s are a joke and that only L2s / Ethereum will win, but the truth tends to come out when there are dollar-denominated opportunities on the table
Celestia is currently trading at a $19B FDV
how hard can it be to fork the codebase, recruit some good validators, and reach out to L2 BD teams?
or is TIA a currency now too?

TL;DR:
- $90k/yr salary
- 0-10% of supply, where we get 2% for every $B of market cap
- 4 year lockup
crypto is largely a cesspool of PvP short-termist extraction.
@MetaDAOProject
is different 🦾
join the discussion, futards!
I'm bullish this prop because:
- $250,000 in cash to help fund operations
- large potential synergies between
@MetaDAOProject
and
@ColosseumOrg
it's crazy the disconnect between the ppl who actually understand crypto and the ppl who've been able to build a normie audience
@armaniferrante
&
@0xMert_
are good counter-examples
how do we rally around more Armanis and Merts?
with three active proposals and a volatile spot market, futarchy is being put to the test
fires are burning; software needs to be patched
and yet in this moment when I should feel stressed I instead feel immense gratitude for the futards
ty for coming on this journey with me❤️
peak mental clarity was when 0 ppl knew who Proph3t was and i was grinding away in obscurity
every day i spend in DMs, emails, and meetings dulls the sword
this is why we need organizations that push power to the edges instead of keeping it in the hands of insiders
we need a Silicon Valley who’s primary output is institutional innovation instead of technological innovation
technology has improved a ton over the last 50 years; governments and corporations look the same
must fix this
I will say, just so that we don't get too carried away:
- futarchy has a credible shot at reshaping governance, but it could also be broken
- lots of things to be improved in our implementation of it
- today the DAO has no revenue-generating products in prod
we need someone who’s good at narrative / growth working on MetaDAO
this is a credible shot at making history. i cannot over-emphasize how impactful futarchy will be on our world.
if you’re a long-term oriented and effective person who has this skillset, plz reach out to me or
My Eth/Sol cultural framing:
Ethereum is a champagne socialist, using a facade of idealism to obfuscate a strategy of restricting supply & extracting value from users
Solana is an industrialist, pragmatic but fundamentally focused on maximizing supply (which creates welfare)
the difference between this cycle and the others that i’ve observed is that most market participants don’t seem to actually believe in crypto long-term
just one more voting system bro. i promise bro this time’ll be different. bro. don’t you want community governance, bro? please bro just one more voting system. please bro, just one more.
time to migrate all my usage to
@xNFT_Backpack
!
will be easier to sleep at night knowing that my funds are in the hands of open-source code, not a development team 😴
super excited for the launch tomorrow
I truly believe that this could be the use-case that justifies crypto's existence
will be a fun experiment either way!
easter egg:
@MetaDAOProject
's security.txt files contain the discounted cash flow equation
so even if the world collapses into dystopia and all that remains is a few nodes running Solana, the world will never forget how to value capital assets
last week i was on a space w Robin Hanson and he explained how the optimal TWAP would work, then “if that doesn’t make sense, learn some statistics”
so now i’m learning statistics
Announcing $INTRO LBP Public Sale
1INTRO is building the all-in-one Liquidity Nexus on Solana powered by AI.
$INTRO will be the first LBP on the 1LBP platform 👇🏼
for fun, I wrote a simple version of AccountsDb over the weekend
228 LOC, compared to the 40k LOC in the labs validator client
if you apply that same rate of compression across all modules, I'm not crazy 🙂
Fixed almost all issues with the Anchor IDL!
- New IDL spec
- Rewrite IDL generation
- TypeScript improvements (account-resolution, no case conversion...)
If you depend on Anchor in any kind of way, consider giving feedback.
alpha thread. There are two massively undervalued projects right now. Both have tokens. Both built innovative products. Both have a super technical anon founder who's on a mission to bring fundamental changes to the solana ecosystem. Both have a 1000 true fans type of community.

DAOs have a mixed record of collective decision-making. Many people have written off DAOs. What could DAOs 2.0 look like?
Enter Futarchy.
Imagine you and your friends are trying
I feel like crypto is the best industry in the world to make friends
many of you probably understand my personality / way of looking at the world more than my own family lmao
this man has now RTed me like 10 times... feels surreal every time
6 months ago I was a nobody anon with a dream to build a futarchic DAO on Solana
@7LayerMagik
discovered me, mert & toly boosted me, and now I feel like when we launch (soon-ish!), a few ppl are gonna show up
one of the reasons why crypto is such an effective casino is that you can easily fool yourself into thinking you have an edge over the house, which is hard to do in a real casino
currently the most productive i’ve been in years 🦾
two things that did it for me:
- working in an office w/ a teammate
- aggressively trimming stuff i didn’t need to do
get ready for some massive upgrades to futarchy’s UX & security 🙂

this is still day 0, but I'm excited that there are at least a few people excited to go on this journey with me ❤️
tomorrow, we finalize the first market-governed decision in the history of human civilization
about 40 people have participated by trading in the conditional markets, and I think that’s pretty cool 🙂
when i meet ppl in DePIN, i’m always like “oh wow some normal people who care about stuff outside of crypto”
i’d be willing to bet that some of them even have hobbies
apologies to everyone for delayed responses across all platforms
have been deep in the code past couple of weeks to get futarchy-as-a-service ready for audit, will resurface by this weekend
