this is why open media and networks like @Livepeer really matter if your videos, account, and subscribers can be wiped at any moment, it’s time to think differently

a good crypto app should feel like: + you don't connect a wallet + you didn’t notice the chain + you forgot you were signing + you never switched networks + you got a value in under 30s everything else is cope

The death of the average. We are currently witnessing the total collapse of the marginal cost of creation. Copywriting, design, video editing - skills that previously commanded a premium due to the barrier of technical execution are being democratised to the point of

When AI-slopped information is free and untrusted, human-verified information is a premium. With x402, privacy, and new social primitives gaining traction, I think we are actually entering the next age of paid access to information, restricted alpha and composable, customized

It's interesting to see how startup founding teams have come developed from what they were before: - Technical -> builds the technology - Commercial -> builds the market - Ops -> builds the company The only thing is that the new skillsets for Technical and Commercial have come
Balaji Srinivasan says every startup now needs a founding creator. Someone who speaks for the product before it ships. “The founding engineer is the how… The founding creator is the why.” @balajis

Personal @EFDevcon highlight: @Livepeer @refraction_irl roundtable on decentralized social media & art, moderation. Main takeaway: we need to do a better job communicating the benefits of tokenized content & creator coins. Thank you for having me 💌 @nick_hollins @mal_levy
We designed it symposium style. No panels. No passive watching. Lightening talks and two discussion tracks running in parallel: 🟢 Creative 🟢 Technical

8/ Argentina is a very special place to build in crypto 🇦🇷 🥩 The energy from local builders here has been electric. A huge shout out to the work put in by the likes of @fede_intern, @crecimientoar, @themu_xyz for building this space for the past years. I know you have had
Devconnect Argentina has been by far the best crypto event I've attended. I'm bullish for Argentine tech, taste, and talent!

I got the feeling this week that the @EFDevcon community is now firmly at the forefront of the new internet: 🔥 Local yet borderless 🔥 Institutional yet cypherpunk 🔥 Private yet onchain 🔥 Frictionless yet intentional

7/ The fear of and future regulation of centralised AI will lead to new opportunities for blockchain primitives. At the AI x Open Media assembly by @livepeer, two trends converged: (a) We are starting to see new interfaces with AI: voice, biometrics, glasses, wearables (b)
Who knew bringing together great minds in Web3 would spark so much dialogue? S/O to everyone who came to our event in collaboration with @refraction_irl and contributed to the broader open media discussion in all its complexities.
