Crypto was built for freedom and voluntary exchange, not tribal politics. Cypherpunk means privacy, empowerment, and minimal trust. Somewhere along the way, sovereignty gave way to signaling. The revolution was personal, not political.

Worldcoin opened a LA location and thought it was a good idea to have me speak. Spent 25 min calling out proof-of-person as a spoofable scam, warning about the surveillance state, and telling everyone why they should never give up their biometric data. The Worldcoin staffers’ faces were priceless.

We don’t value privacy enough and when AI makes the consequences clear, it’s going to be much tougher to claw it back.

Diversification and decentralization of digital art isn’t appreciated enough. Too much maxi talk.

AI is just a complicated machine that’s great with patterns and basic reasoning. It’s neither sentient, nor alive, and we’re still a decade+ from AGI.
Any resemblance to general intelligence is purely a combination of wishful thinking and naivety.

Art prices are a combination of speculation on future value based on cultural significance of the art and a handful of psychopaths who just like the art. Here for the psychopaths 🍻
