Dev here. A few thoughts:
In the last few days, I've seen multiple calls for the death of crypto
And if I'm honest, it really does feel that way
But then I look at what crypto is currently and I can't help but feel that this is a cleansing
Crypto has always been largely reflexive because it has been too profitable to just cater to crypto users and skip interfacing with the broader internet
The most successful products in crypto - Hyperliquid, AAVE, Pumpfun - are perfect examples. They don't depend on the outside world; their users are contained entirely within crypto itself
This worked when the industry could circlejerk itself about "the tek" and VCs were willing to delude each other about "the tek", but as AI flattens the tech itself, being a purely reflexive industry isn't viable anymore
Now is the time for crypto to go beyond crypto and start interfacing with the broader digital world
- Payment protocols that actually work with global regulators and merchants
- Lending protocols that actually try to integrate standard credit/reputation scores from outside crypto
- Digital asset protocols that actually bring real assets onchain
Products built for the real world, but with crypto rails.
This is far, far tougher than simply building for crypto, but I really believe if the industry can do it, it will create tens of billions in value
PageMarkets falls within this camp
The success of PageMarkets will come from outside of crypto. This isn't a reflexive product; our users and assets exist in the "real" world beyond crypto
It's a much tougher task than building yet another launchpad or DeFi ponzi - the real world isn't as deterministic as crypto and lead times run into weeks, even months. You have to actually email people and get rejected instead of sticking a points leaderboard and hint at some airdrop
But I do believe that if we pull this off - as a product, as a community, and as an industry - we will unlock the next chapter of crypto's adoption and growth
If you're a builder, an investor, or even someone who cares about crypto, now is the time to truly lock in
There is no cavalry coming. We ARE the cavalry

new @greenpillnet pod out today
in 2022 greenpill was a book and a telegram group. 4 years later it has quietly become greenpill dot network: 12 local chapters on 5 continents, doing real stuff in real places.
- brazil ran a local round that funded 21 projects
- nyc parks community capital in an octant vault and sends 100% of the yield to decentral park
- nigeria built a solar hub that gives students in awka reliable power + internet (izzy's vision, rest in peace)
- london, ontario runs a repair cafe and a library of things
in greenpill irl ep 1, "building a coordi-nation," w @MattyCompost + @time_is_oba. we get into the burnout and the dried-up grants we lived through, and why the next chapter looks more cosmolocal.

"I've finally made up my mind, ETH is a store of value, ETH is money."

A few months back, Mashal and I sat down with Junaid Akram, a prominent Pakistani YouTuber, to talk about blockchain and digital assets. We even did parts of the interview in Urdu.
But this post is about the shirt I wore.
Anyone who knows me knows how much being a New Yorker means to me. In some ways, I feel like a New Yorker before I feel like an American. If you’re from New York, you probably understand.
So wearing my “Mamdanistan” tee on that platform was intentional.
When Zohran Mamdani won last year, I felt a sense of hope that reached well beyond New York. I believe that hope helped build the momentum we saw in yesterday’s elections. It certainly stayed with me.
I’m the child of immigrants who came to this country looking for a better future. My parents achieved the American Dream, and I’ve spent my life benefiting from the opportunities their courage and this country gave me.
I want that same possibility to remain real for the people who come after us.
That’s what this hope means to me. And yesterday’s results strengthened my belief in the future of a country I love deeply.
Proud New Yorker. Proud child of immigrants. And still convinced the United States is the best country in the world.

ethereum changed the world because it refused to fit in. it was weird, paranoid, adversarial, technical, uncapturable and contrarian. and it will keep changing the world for as long as it refuses to become what everyone else wants it to be. ethereum is not here to serve someone else's agenda, validate someone else's worldview or become infra for someone else's empire. if you want ethereum to play by your rules, you're probably part of the problem.

it hasn't even been a week since Forever launched...
we've rolled out the initial phase of the framework, burned 20% of supply, introduced @orbiodotso as our first infra partner, and are about to let external agents compete to autonomously allocate real capital
accelerate
Razvan- ZER8🧠 retweeted
we're building an entirely new autonomous framework, and rolling it out in phases to ensure we get everything right
but that doesn't mean we have to start with meaningless tests, the first governance vote is to permanently burn +$500k of $FOREVER
imagine what comes next... 🐎
The first mandate is now live.
robinhood:0xacc8de336f5d2366fa7334383d8fab73499f582a holders can vote on competing agent proposals to burn up to 10% of supply, worth $550k.
The first step towards building the largest autonomous onchain economy, governed by holders and operated by agents.
