Great note. I can’t quite believe this site is (almost) free to use!
Interesting. My mind jumps to number of users when thinking about network effects. But, no. of users * wealth within the network is a better metric.

You write so well.
Funny: I also leave my basement and walk among normies.
And profound: We aren't gonna intellectually revolutionize the masses. Change comes through utility.
Excuse me while I get this good stuff on nostr.
Oof!
NGU is the only signal that will get people's attention. People are dumb. They are distracted. They are ignorant. They are lazy. Their one weird friend getting rich will be a wake up call.

There are some contributors whose thoughts I value so much that I have turned notifications on for e.g. Justin Shocknet and Kepford.
Interaction and incentives are not immune to zapping but are also not primarily shaped by them.
As long as sites allow users to shape the UX so that bad elements can be filtered out and good elements enhanced, the impact of zaps is not a big deal.
I think that a stubborn cohort of “early “Bitcoiners will start working on things they consider worthwhile. And they will ONLY sell their work for Bitcoin. Not just because they don’t need other people’s money but as a matter of principle too.
Yes!
Conversations are fruitful when you actually listen to people and ask follow up questions in response to things which they hold to be important.
Seeking to convince people about something they are not interested in is, perhaps, little more than an ego trip.
I think bitbonds will be tried first
The US will lose a lot of its global soft power if it goes after self-custody

Connecting psychology with exposing fake L2s was not on today’s bingo card….
Denying truth about scaling and UX sets your principles off-course just a little bit at first, but as you travel further away from the light, you start defending scammers just to be consistent with the inane views you hold on scaling and UX.
