Content needs to be ubiquitous and accessible for all. This is the vision of the permaweb.
Substack, with its siren song of newsletter riches, lures writers with dreams of paid subscriptions and editorial freedom. But it's a winner-take-all system. A handful of writers strike gold, while the vast majority toil in obscurity, their work buried under an avalanche of content.
The algorithm and founders decide whose words are worthy of reach, turning the democratic promise of newsletters into yet another popularity contest.

Eth is not underperforming due to a lack of north star. It's stagnated because the only way for it to work as it' supposed to is to now solve hundreds of other problems that have themselves their complicated issues to solve.... mandelbrot network of problems.
How many times did they laugh at you when you told them hashtag Bitcoin was unstoppable?
How many times did they tell you you missed the train and the only people benefitting are the ones that came before you?
How many opinionated hashtag#noicoiner financial experts told you it was a mistake to put all your money and hopes in hashtag#BTC?
This day is for you to stand tall on the right side of history. The path has never been easy, and you have built enough character along the way. You don't even feel the need to gloat.
Rejoice Bitcoiners. The world is yours today!

Something happened in this industry where this became the norm in this industry. Chase the money ended in chase the meme.
When your values are strong, you build with purpose and the money comes alone.
Crypto follows a greater mission than monetized memes.

You should be heavily allocated to those crypto projects that represent the values crypto stands for
There is no glory in the memecoin trenches, nothing is being achieved, so every victory is empty.
Crypto is here to make the world a better, fairer, feer place, not make us slaves to imaginary crypto tokens.

Bitcoin opened pandora's box.
Blockchain unlocked the ability to make a working cryptocurrency. But if you are able to make a digital coin about something, the obvious implication would be that we would end up making a cryptocurrency about anything.
... a coin with a dog as its face
... a coin to pay for a dentist
... a coin to promote a B list rapper
... a coin that better pump or I kill a dog
... a coin that you must buy or I shoot everyone in my school.
In hindsight... it was inevitable.

In the world computer, you don't need to back up the data because it should be available permanently for everyone to access since inception.
Just like you can find evidence in the world of everything that has ever happened, the world computer would keep an immutable history of its evens forever.

If a world computer would ever to become real, it would need a massive reliable hard drive that anyone could access.
That's the magic of Arweave, the hard drive is everywhere.
A world computer where data is stored outside can only work after getting permission from private data keeers.

There was a time in crypto where Ethereum attempted to build a world computer: a cool permissionless machines that could be accessed by anyone at any time.
Then they kinda forgot about it, getting lost in scalability issues, politics and other obstacles.
Yet the concept of the world computer is still worth pursuing.
How would it look like? What does it do?
It's final form is still so advanced that imagining it is impossible.

Remember everyone that laughed at you throughout the years when you told them it was inevitable that $BTC would reach $100,000?
No?
They're all probably thinking of you right now.

The fact that this are the top channels is enough to see this is an echo chamber.
What ever happened to the idea of the world computer?
There was a time Ethereum strived to achieve this. Then, most things referring to the world computer were quietly swept under a rug.
We need to make the world computer a reality again.

We are here to create alternative tools that shield us from corporate and government overreach
Messing with the casts to do some product research.
