The Crypto Industry and the Machine Theater Paradox

December 25th, 2022
Machine theaters were a genre of literature and plays that emerged in Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries. These productions portrayed spectacular inventions and showcased them for the enjoyment of readers and viewers. Many of the inventions depicted in machine theater were more for entertainment value than for actual use and were never actually built or implemented.

Censorship-Resistant Publishing

August 15th, 2022
This week, Mailchimp deplatformed some crypto media companies including Messari. This isn’t the first time they have done so; I recall this happening in 2017/2018 too.

Drop Your Email

August 9th, 2022
Between 2010 and 2020, email addresses became the primary identity handle for the internet. Email address list-building became critical for creators and marketing departments as a way to stay engaged and sell to audiences. But it's now time to start building communities around the new identity primitive of the internet: the web3 wallet.

Seoul Bound

July 24th, 2022
I’m incredibly excited to be on my way to Korea again, for the first time in many years, as a speaker presenting Mirror at Asia Buidl and ETH Seoul. I first went to Seoul when I was 18 years old, and lived there with my best friend’s family; this post is a recap of how I discovered some of the things that fascinate me about Korea.

3 Blockers to Mainstream Web3 (2022)

July 19th, 2022
Someone asked me today, “What do you think are the blockers to mainstream web3 for the next cycle?” I thought I’d share what I see as blockers to mainstream adoption, which mostly have to do with L2 and wallets.

Write to Learn

June 25th, 2022
Writing isn't something that only writers do. It's a basic skill for getting through life. We write to explain, and we write to explore. When explaining, we also help clarify concepts to ourselves. When we explore, we push the boundaries of what we know and think about – changing the way our minds work.
