burning out is the function of not allocating time to rest and recontextualization

proposal: we stop referring to
@cosmos
as 'the Cosmos Ecosystem' and start referring to it as 'the Cosmos'.
that way every time something ships there, it sounds like it's being built in actual space, and all the memes can flow forth.
no, blockchains are not 'cities' or 'companies' or 'countries'.
blockchains are *networks* with incentivized maintenance design.
that should be interesting enough to you.
as far as dumb shit in crypto goes, having a governance proposal be modified *while voting is still active* is a core reason we're considering
@terra_money
governance to be essentially useless at this time.
We’ve been receiving a high volume of input concerning recent governance activity on the

this means that the actual amount (after unclaimed drops) may well be higher, ;)

we should stop considering crypto from the perspective of an economy and instead consider it more deeply as an ecology of intentions that are finding their best fit
within this:
-what are the trophic levels,
-who are the predators,
-what are the resources to compete over?
this is fucking stupid for an organization that calls itself a co-operative.

i've said before but it bears repeating, the significance of the ethereum merge is not in the technological feat alone
it's the fact that thousands of people who don't know one another worked together to pull it off.

you're making so many crazy assumptions that people in crypto don't understand that the crash is just something that happens. we're not that stupid.
the bear market is the norm, you're lucky when you make it big in the bull.
antifascist militants were shot en masse at a protest in portland last night.
this is just a tweet to let you know it happened, because no one is really reporting on it.
4) IBC. If there's going to be many blockchains (there will), we need protocols to enable them to communicate. That's IBC. But IBC is a general purpose protocol - it can in theory even be used to define the ETH 2.0 sharding protocol (!).
Privacy in physical space is rapidly decreasing. Better privacy online is one of the few tools we have to restore a little bit of balance.
Privacy is normal. Support privacy.

in addition, you have to build a network that picks up mainstream adoption from legitimate uses, to avoid being labeled as something only “ne'er-do-wells” use.
@penumbrazone
is a good example of this approach: fast, usable tooling with a multi-token, bridged, asset pool that can
zcash is frankly the only thing that has come close to these needs, but we know now that structural and financial interoperability was another requirement

before 'digital nomads' there was a thing called 'backpacking' that we millenials used to do.

if crypto is an ecology of intentions, the missing piece is a discovery mechanism for settling these intentions.
people can't settle arbitrary intentions without finding or already knowing a counterparty who wants to fulfill the intention.
we should stop considering crypto from the perspective of an economy and instead consider it more deeply as an ecology of intentions that are finding their best fit
within this:
-what are the trophic levels,
-who are the predators,
-what are the resources to compete over?
