    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    Ultimately, I think a plurality of coins, each with a specific niche purpose should be the norm. i.e division of labor but applied to coins. Why try to generalize across the entire world? I'm quite skeptical of the idea of a "global" currency, but I'm not fluent enough in economics to see what...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    Ideally, I think index should be constructed in a transparent manner with the information captured via a decentralized mechanism. just spitballing at this point but UMA is a protocol that allows for the creation of an asset that tracks any arbitrary data feed. one could conceivably create a...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    the problem with stablecoins, (as traditionally understood) is that most are reliant on some government agency's inflation index-- true decentralization only happens when the standard of living isn't determined by a centralized agency with obvious blind spots. But I think there is a more...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    didn't really feel like reading the entire thread but I assume you are doing the citycoin.co thing but for NYC? saw it mentioned by a blog post by vitalik but never really bothered to check it out, (on account of the million other things happening in crypto). whats the best place to get...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    Yep, although I had taken pretty significant profits by that point. I mean, my nw is still little over 50 percent in crypto atm, but in the days leading up to it I risked off from like 110% long lol. Mostly unworried since its mostly macro risk-off and a lack of liquidity that caused the crash...

    Legibility, Illegibility, Anti-Legibility

    Personally speaking, illegibility often sparks an intellectual curiosity. I wanted to make Heidegger legible, I wanted to understand what those words meant. It also, however, I think serves as a kind of gatekeeping function--theories, art, media are often artificially made illegible to exclude...

    Cellular Automata

    yeah watched the entire thing last night. incredible that someone was actually working on this because I had similar thoughts before about the artistic potential of cellular automata. I heard he is going to release more videos so excited to see what develops of this. Will try my hand at the web...

    Cellular Automata

    I imagine you could have art exhibits dedicated to instantiating one rule in many different ways--one could, as previously mentioned even create dynamic navigatable environments and space via a rule, (think Minecraft worlds IRL). Each time you went to the exhibit you would see something...

    Cellular Automata

    There's a number of properties of this kind of algorithmically generated art that make it conceptually interesting to me. It's non-deterministic, so there's no sense of "final" form. Because it takes environmental/human inputs, each instantiation of a rule will have a different unpredictable end...

I also sometimes...
