everyone will eventually be a degen the same way everyone is now chronically online
Manifesting works because a large part of achieving things is knowing what you want to achieve in the first place.

Then the rest is the time, energy and decisions that are made in context of that thing.

Hundreds and thousands of little things that accumulate over time and push slightly closer toward that vision.
While it’s true that strong apps work regardless of a chain, it’s also true that the chain can make a difference in the adoption of some apps.
We’re in the news online era of crypto.

I’m not sure we’ve even seen the emergent “social network” equivalent phenomenon yet. as crazy as that is to say.

If we have, they’re closer to 4chan or MySpace prototypes than the final form.
good habits:
hard to build, easy to maintain

bad habits:
easy to build, hard to break

there are some hypotheses that are so illiquid that the only way to build a position is to build something first to then build the position.

when this happens, it’s most likely a 0 to 1 thing or at least extremely early thing.
high conviction + illiquid = act on it
imagine a day where you have as few thoughts as possible.

how are you spending your day to achieve that?
“color coded”

this existing statement is kind of a double entendres in this context.

“higher coded”
“la coded”
“color coded”
a lot of crypto’s most successful products are disruptive innovations to existing markets (namely finance).

what are the entirely new markets that have been created? no matter how small they currently are.
idea:

Color based search. Input a hex code and then see all images that feature those colors.

Maybe you bound it to only onchain images for the sake of simplicity to start.
memecoins are minimum viable tokens.

the question then becomes what do they evolve into.

what tools and infrastructure and mechanisms gets them there?
acquire forms of leverage that minimizes the time and effort to go from idea to reality.
founder mode probably leads to an increased cognitive dissonance for bad founders and increased velocity for good founders.

you can tell the difference by market traction.
One way to think about Base is as a first principles rebuild of Coinbase itself.
knowing how much and when to sell is as difficult, maybe more so, than knowing what to buy in the first place
it’s been a bear market this whole time
one implication of this:

you can get really good at predicting the future by being deeply aware of the present—which includes knowing where to look at all.
markets (and crypto), are one very specific and real-time domain to test your intuition because you have to meet with reality, its adversarial and it’s measurable.

remembering to actively listen to (or feel) your intuition is such an easy thing to forget to do.

it’s also not something that’s often talked about as something to actively develop.

imagine you spend 100 days focusing on cultivating this sense: what do you do?
It makes sense that colors like Tiffany Blue are already minted and presumably come with some additional value.

But I wonder what new iconic colors can be cultivated in this context.

E.g. a layup a new project is to pick a color and make it part of their community building strategy.
I chose #ffaded because it can be easily spoken as a word (“faded”).

What’s fun about that constraint is that it arrived at a color that I wouldn’t have chosen otherwise.

I’m happy I did because it feels like a fresh pair of glasses to see the world through and express in new ways.
idea:

simple onchain pixel canvas where you can use colors you own for free, or pay an extremely small amount for other colors.

why?
fun, and also a minimal experiment of integrating colors into another smart contract.
