“Who is the crypto user?”. This was the question we have been grappling with recently, culminating in our release today of the first major market mapping survey of crypto users. Spoiler: crypto owners are more diverse in their views, interests, & beliefs than even I expected. 🧵

Hyper cutting edge state of the art systems that cost a mint are going out of style nearly everywhere in the economy: tech, transportation, defense, even the government. We’re shifting broadly to a paradigm focused on cost and efficiency, akin to after the energy shock of 1970s.

@angryaboutbikes look at almost every reply and QT here. Military guys talk non stop about using cheap drones instead of expensive systems.

Shot & Chaser. It’s notable that the Democratic voters who seem to be demanding extra-legal actions to fight Trump are 1) the most well-off white voters and therefore 2) the heart of the small donor class.

Unironically, chains are going to start having political pundits as KOLs over the next five years. A lot of chains are going to misfire at first, in part because the top tier pundits tend to be more crypto skeptical, but the trend will strengthen as crypto becomes mainstream.

This is worth the read. Gamergate probably was the event that birthed our modern politics, from the heightened political divisions by gender to the unending wars on social media about women in the workforce. Trumpism is probably more about gender roles than anything else.

🚨 JUST IN: The man who built the ICE-tracking app just dared Trump’s entire administration to come for him. “Go ahead. Demonize me. Demonize the app. It’s called the First Amendment, look it up.”. That’s the energy. You don’t need a badge or a bench to defend the Constitution,

Was on the beach; can confirm there was a crowd panic and everyone suddenly scrambling for cover. Didn’t see or hear a gun discharge though.

We’re about to find out if materialist politics is truly dead. Anyone who tells you they know for certain that this will trigger a strong backlash among working class Trump voters (or restore GOP support among affluent Romney-Harris voters) is gaslighting you or themselves.

it is kind of wild that at the peak of its popularity with working class voters, the GOP passed the biggest rollback of the welfare state since Reagan.

A day’s ticket to Disney world was $40 in 1997, $80 in today’s dollars. Today, a ticket to the Magic Kingdom will cost you between $140 and $200, depending on the date.

I have a theory that the ennui of the UMC/PMC/affluent is because they find themselves struggling to pay for hallmarks of their middle class childhoods (Disney and brags vacations, college, and most of all housing) despite making far more money than their parents. All those

Wealth is relative. That 33% of households earn >$130k is a testament to American economic miracle. …but you can’t innovate human nature. If the point of making $ is to move to nicer/wealthier neighborhoods, you guarantee comparison will be their of joy.

The number one mistake people make in business, politics, media, or the arts is the idea that they or their principal are always right. In reality, the wisest & most well-adjusted person in the world bats .650 on decisions. The secret to success is realizing we all err a ton.

The legendary philosopher and cynic of ancient Athens, Diogenes would stalk the city with a lantern “looking for an honest man.” . Unique among the philosophers of Ancient Greece, he understood something that it took the world millennia to grasp: all people are fallible.

@VitalkButerin And last but not least, crypto users are both worried about government regulations and income inequality. While approximately six in ten strongly agree (26%) or somewhat agree (33%) that “government regulation does more harm than good,” over seven in ten also strongly agree (42%).
