Ethereum is building a new kind of society & already has everything a functioning state needs: – DeFi as banking – DIDs/ENS as identity – DAOs as governance – ETH as money – Onchain arbitration as courts Ethereum is basically the new world order

I’ve started to take a backward approach to design workflows. Instead of building the website/app, you design the Apple Watch interface. Constraints on the wrist help strip the UX to its core. It basically forces clarity. Been gud so far

Lecture 1: reclaiming your sovereignty starts in the mind

Welcome to the School of Sovereigns class is in session ✍️

study @OnchainCity (the concept).

every stablecoin is obviously a CBDC, just modularised. I’m not sure how people don’t see this. Back in 2014 I worked with a company that accidentally created the first CBDC in Barbados. We had a crypto exchange where locals would buy BTC. They’d give us Barbados dollars in cash & we’d convert it to USD then issue USDT on their account. Extremely clunky from a time and forex pov. Colu (colored coins) became a big thing which allowed you to build assets ontop of the bitcoin network. So naturally we decided to digitalise the Barbados dollar. This was the first emerging market currency that was onchain. We realized we had something huge. A few months later the central bank of barbados said Nope. That’s not gonna fly. You can’t just take the currency and export it on the internet via crypto. It was then I realized that no matter what you build, you’re still operating on top of the policy layer. And it’s that policy layer that defines what a CBDC is. So when regulators say, “This stablecoin isn’t a CBDC,” it’s nonsense. If a digital currency needs regulatory approval to exist, it’s a CBDC (just with a bit more modularity and distribution).

true but this a feature, not a bug. The sharpest VCs understand real products. The ones that don’t, you don’t want them on your cap table anyways. So it’s a pretty neat filter

Being kind and honest goes a long way. Idk how but it always pays off, and almost always non linearly. The returns are delayed, unpredictable and outsized. Just be yourself and be nice to people - do it for yourself.

Be a world builder
