This AI ad is wild 😂 twitter.com/brahma_4u/stat…

What a great read, love the suggestion of spend 1 hour a day experimenting with AI, not reading about it!

I poured my heart and soul into this essay. Give it a read. x.com/TheiaResearch/…

afaik it’s all in the experimentation zone, people are just feeling great about being a part of it and being able to experiment stuff, I also tried making my own ‘web3 marketing news’ aggregator but it doesn’t work! To me it sounds like a much larger wave than before of 2 things - personal projects and build it and leave it. For real builders vibe coding is of course making their phase 1 easier and faster, and then it moves to real people

So how are people actually using vibe coding and ai agents to improve their life? Everyone is talking about omg bro I’m vibe coding so much I’m so locked in 12 hours a day, I use so much compute I have 5 Claude plans, I always gotta have loops running!!! “I’m doing all the things I dreamed of doing but never could” “I can do in 2 days what it used to take a team of 50 months” But like.. what’re your agents actually doing? What’re you actually making? Inspire me plz 🙏

Interesting choice of location, India is great but Mumbai is not traditionally the dev hub of the country

haven’t read the original article as it looks click baity to me - everyone who is crypto native is engaging with it which is strange if you think about it, supporting a doomsday narrative for your own industry! I am sure it’s well written and hits some nerves, but I am a believer of the space and I actually think it’s becoming mature and adoption is happening finally. this response from @AliHabbabeh I did read and I think is great argument for building real products with utility in crypto and then using the available GTM tools in a meaningful way. for sure it’s time for launch a token, make money and be forgotten soon to die, but not for ‘crypto’ as a space.

this isn’t merch, it’s brand strategy. cultural awareness. great timing. love it @coinbase

You scrolled. You stacked. You checked the price... a lot. Now, let's unwrap your year in crypto.

off to India for some much needed rejuvenation

Storytelling is one of the most underrated skills in tech. Everyone’s building. Few can explain why it matters.

after a long time spent this morning advising a marketing strategy for a web2 start up at a product ready stage. felt good to brainstorm adoption plans for a defined product compared to the vagueness of web3. left me thinking if there is a future that mixes the culture side of web3 and the product first approach of web2!

manifesting for @frogule she is building something much needed in crypto - let’s support this 👇🏻

it's clear at this point that there are 3 classes of crypto i) commercial crypto ii) casino crypto iii) cypherpunk crypto commercial crypto is RWAs, stablecoins, institutions things that use crypto for its function in increasing the efficiency of finance faster payments, faster settlement, better composability, and a universal API for money this is mostly a positive development, but it does necessarily ignore most of the core ideals of why crypto was started there are a lot of relatively invisible chokepoints of control here that most people have not woken up to i.e., that 95% of stablecoins can be frozen or single sequencer censorship casino crypto is mostly things that are borderline regulatory arbitrage and are heavily premised on speculation too wild for institutions, but still not necessarily native to crypto ideals most of the aim here seems to be making money I don't have anything against this as I believe people should do whatever they do without harming others, but it's not something I'm personally interested in the final, least prevalent and almost extinct class of crypto is the cypherpunk class this is ironic as the cypherpunk class is responsible for starting the entire industry as well as underlying its most important set of functionality satoshi was a cypherpunk cypherpunks use cryptography and code to build systems of freedom freedom from state overreach, freedom of speech, and the right to transact this group gets confused for what is actually criminal behaviour like breaking the law or buying janky ass drugs on the darknet which does nothing but cheapen the ideals of liberty for some false virtual mental dopamine hit of being an edgelord cypherpunks are libertarians and believe in free markets and understand that autonomous systems that can't be messed with are the only way to achieve this the commercial and casino classes of crypto have had all the recent spotlight but crypto without the cypherpunks is not crypto I believe most of this has been a messaging, education, and storytelling problem we are going to fix this and we are going to make crypto cypherpunk again you are already seeing the ideals live within systems like zcash, but soon it will enflame everywhere cypher/acc

absolute graveyard of crypto founders who understand the m of marketing

@zaddyfi it can be zero but then you need to pay a lot for marketing talent to be able to do it , there’s no zero cost playbook out there

is it bullish when a chain spends $0 on marketing? asking for a friend

@milianstx it’s time for crypto marketing 2.0

crypto marketing is dead. it’s just badge wars now.

there’s a marketing leadership shortage in web3 full stop

@girlintheverse @jamesrichardfry in my experience 90% of web3 companies are in this bucket

@jamesrichardfry What do you even say to companies that hire a marketing expert, but then insist on continuing the exact strategy that was already failing?
