Alok’s personal channel. For now, the home of my casts that don't fit elsewhere. I usually cast about crypto, startups, crypto startups, physics, and sports.
My kid is saying “meow” instead of “now” for fun and all I can think about is Reno 911

the constraint of onchain money is so beautiful because you are forced to do more with less money since it only goes down
Has anyone tried “Stake to Follow”? You have to stake to follow me. I have unilateral ability to slash you. If you’re worried you’ll be slashed, don’t follow me.
