a few onchain product values i want to keep true:
- focus on user value over hype

been thinking about this the last 24 hours. building here is a privilege, but it's also a sacrifice. families, friends, social life. i wish more folks understood that latter part.
by law i am now required to declare horizontal padding bankruptcy 😔
