The overstock thing doesn't interest me much, for the same reasons as etrade. Has the smell of old guard playing catchup, whether to hedge against unlikely success, or just because that's the kind of thing that inept monoliths are prone to do. The pewdiepie thing is very interesting to me. He, like fortnight, is responsible for shaping the norms of the next generation. If fortnight decided to make bitcoin the only way to get currency into the game I'd be long bitcoin. Because whatever 12 year olds are doing today is whatever's going to be google-sized in 2040. So that's a neat thought. I'm not familiar with D-Live. Looked it up real fast. It looks like... a whole bunch of nothing, that I don't know why I should care about it, or why it's a thing... I have three reactions to that: 1) I just turned 30 and, right on time, don't know shit about what young people are into. D-live could be a big deal and I'm miscalibrated. 2) D-live is actually a fledgling thing, and they're paying pewdiepie loads of cash to do this. The platform, from a messaging perspective, basically IS pewdiepie. He may also be behind d-live in some meaningful way, or otherwise stand to get crazy rich(er) from this. 3) D-live is to speech what crypto is to finance: amidst privacy woes, hate speech, censorship, deplatforming, and runaway algos, there's a cultural demand for disruption and alternative ecosystems that allow people who feel marginalized by the current ecosystem to escape to a new eden. Crypto feels like it's gotten a handful of false starts and failure to launch in narrative-space with this idea. But it feels like the speech/platform version of this same narrative is just beginning to take hold, and with a lot more early steam. If crypto can interweave itself within that larger cultural shift, and manage to hang on? Maybe that could work.
