I've been working on a game for Ethereum for a while. In recent times, "I" has become "we" and we're getting a fair bit more serious about it. In the last year, we watched a bunch of local startups with relativ

This sorta thing would mean the world to me and my team at our little bootstrapped startup. We may go broke before we turn revenue and we're now blowing enough smoke in front of mirrors to get VC funding.

In my humble opinion, SPAs are not the fundamental mistakes. SPAs are applications. There's nothing wrong with having applications. The mistake was not maintaining a distinction between applications and content. The difference between

My first trip to Alaska, I ended up on the beach at fish camp. Bald Eagles everywhere. I was sorta taken by how real Bald Eagles just weren't as majestic as the ones I saw in all those car commercials. To be honest, they were borderlin

I think that, some day, money might be good enough that there can be micro-economies around side projects without bringing in all of the bloat, complexity, and expectations around current software revenue models. In my imagination, it would

I've read some assertions that it would have popped already if not for the federal reserve buying assets and keeping borrowing cheap, suggesting that the fed's actions are ultimately inflating it bigger and bigger.

In the existing state of things, you can get involved in a community that "air drops" a token, you can run a network node, you can play a P2E game, or you can sell NFTs that don't mint until sold. But this is super early. &qu

You can't provide services for free without exploiting people. I recommend reading "Who Owns The Future" for a for discussion on inclusion.

You're forgetting about the part where the same system can provide those people with an income. Excluding people from the global financial system, imo, is the opposite of where we should be headed. The notion of paying people for their

IMO, pay with money. End of story. Expecting services for free got is into this horrible advertising model that turned us into the product rather than customers. There are people promoting gasless, free to use chains. That model is flawed.

I have gone down the play-to-earn rabbit hole in an unexpected way. In 2017 I started learning about Ethereum. Once I understood it as a virtual machine, the idea hit me that one could build a game. About that time, CryptoKitties hit and be

This piece seems to use "decentralized" and "distributed" interchangeably. These are not entirely the same concept.

NFTs or whatever we call them in the long run will probably be important. I started working on an Ethereum game dApp in 2017. My NFTs are actual assets in a game that also runs on-chain. By following the ERC721 standard, I don't have t

I took a similar feeling away from this comment. It reads like someone who feels the need to defend a top down model of control. In my experience, these models are really more about perception management and creating the illusion of product
