PREAMBLE: I wrote this before the launch of SKY so you will see terms like SubDAOs (now Stars) and not hear about SKY vs MKR, but it ALL HOLDS.

Prelude: I stayed up last night writing because I needed to rant about the deluge of SBF content taking away from far more interesting (and important) content like Uniswap’s new fee. I woke up and the Chopping Block podcast scooped my hot take – and – as you might expect, they offered far more insight and insider information ;)

I found an old rant saved to my desktop - some late-night stream-of-consciousness voice-to-text garble. As an experiment, I dropped the rant into ChatGPT and asked it to be rewritten in the style of Aldous Huxley (rather randomly) with a Tweet and some bullet points at the start. I tweaked it a tiny tiny bit…

I've got some nagging existential dread.

In the realm of digital currencies, Bitcoin has become the gold standard, commanding immense respect and a dedicated community. Still, depending on who you talk to, Bitcoin ranges from immaculate to wrecked. The following is a thought experiment that presupposes the truth lies somewhere in between and what we might do about that.

As the world continues to transition to a digital age, new innovations are emerging that promise to transform the way we work and interact with one another. One such area is Web3, which encompasses decentralized technologies such as blockchains, smart contracts, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). In this post, I suggest how the Web3-enabled future of work could lead to the emergence of Prime Protocols.

This article was generated by CHATGPT4 and it’s actually solid. I read through it and added an epilogue.

My god the amount of froth and FUD around Web 3 these days! Literally as I typed this up two of the largest CT voices posted mic drop excellent pieces - Bankless and Li Jin (supporting the froth) and Packy McCormick (addressing the fud). Please understand that, while it looks like I am piling on, I started writing this before those came out.

No doubt, if you are working in crypto you’ve had to struggle explaining what you do. Have you found that you can’t explain your project (not product), without a red-pilling paradigm warping diatribe? We’ll see if this becomes a series, but if I am going to have to generate long-form content for a mid-week family email, I’m thinking maybe I just post it.
