Digital, 24/7-on, permisionless, globally-accessible dollars with built-in yield as well as competitive lending/borrowing markets that can be used as a substrate *are* a cypherpunk product. Agora *is* a cypherpunk company.
@lex_node If he wants to work on something cyberanarchist/decentralized/permissionless he can go work on Bitcoin, Eth, Aave/Morpho, privacy, decentralized stables, etc. There are endless list of projects, so yeah, it is a skill issue. We may not fall into the “cypherpunk” category but

Choosing to work for a “casino” team is a skill issue. You could just work for any of the many high-integrity, focused teams in the space not building solely for a TGE. They exist across L1/2s, perps, yield+ stablecoins, lending, etc. I could not be more invigorated to work

This is an energizing, worthwhile read that might change your perspective on how to value the “rails” (L1/2s). To add: Monad public mainnet + the MON token launch on Solana demonstrated that the tech has gotten EXPONENTIALLY better and the “rails” are also a huge venue for
In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders, the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate, it’s indifference. By default, nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week, and I’ve never seen so much

Monad's choice of @withAUSD as its core stablecoin is very interesting within 2 days, Monad holds the largest share of AUSD (and it is growing fast) Monad is choosing the unique route of not "aligning" with USDT and USDC and I love this direction

One of the identifiers of exceptional organizations. Acknowledging product + team deficiencies and addressing them head on 👏. Run from orgs that are only sunshine and rainbows.
the heart of the solana flywheel. identify the biggest weakness and bitch about it on twitter. whippings continue until problem is solved. simple but effective
