you can either be a media company or a product company, but you can't be both

re: "revenue meta" metas only appear when there is an underlying imbalance: some hidden pocket of advantage that participants exploit before everyone else catches on. you see those imbalances where regulation or other frictions slow the market’s self‑correcting force, letting the edge linger long enough to become “the meta”. revenue, though, is already the market’s end state. customers pay for real value, sellers charge what the market will bear, and that feedback loop drives everything toward equilibrium. there is no asymmetry to game and no loophole to close, so calling it a revenue meta is a category error. once the only way to win is to deliver value people willingly buy, the meta is over and balance has been restored.

i've been really impressed with the @base app over the past few days. not only have i been using it more than farcaster because it has coining built into casts, but i've also created more coins in the last 3 days than i ever have before

ai has strengthened the herd mentality because it's easier than ever to understand consensus. independent thinking has become the rarest asset

i was hoping today that coinbase would relaunch their nft marketplace and save nfts

let's make it big @Cooopahtroopa

when you talk to younger generations they brag about not having full time jobs, not going to college, and instead prefer to make money on the internet doing what they're passionate about

it's never been a better time to experiment with tokens. many founders still haven't reset their priors

we've been using @herd_eco to prototype and build crypto apps using boost and other protocols and have been thoroughly impressed. what used to take days of work (even with other ai tools) now takes us hours. big s/o to @andrewhong5297 and @longtilwrong for what they've built!

not sure if i'm the only one who sees it but there's a trend in defi post hyperliquid around the gamification of risk teams are designing points systems where getting liquidated is more profitable than actually using the product to win. users are rewarded for reckless behavior because it generates activity metrics that look good on paper and outsized revenue for the team just let people buy your token folks, it's not that deep
