'Twas two nights before Christmas
and across Crypto Twitter
not one bull was stirring
for the market was in the shitter. /1
The "Token Taxonomy Act"
was submitted with care
in hopes that regulators
might find it fair. /2
Meltem with potatoes
and Pomp with podcasts
had settled to wait
for the bear mood to pass /4
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear
but Vitalik!
With no fucks given - it's clear! /6
100 Ether!
200!
300!
More!
He’s going to have to change that handle, for sure. /8
But is this the best way?
Can it be sustained?
Do we need Moloch
to up our funding game? /9
Vitalik might not be the only Santa this season
Indian ZuckBucks are crazy
for so many reasons /10
But are they as crazy
as Bitcoin from the sky?
No internet?
No problem.
Santa brought Satellite. /11
Back home in Brooklyn
the pain is quite clear
like ConsenSys cutting 50ish% of its team to end the year /12
And poor Venezuela
with oppressive regime.
Yet this may not be the crypto test case
we want it to be. /13
The idea maze is thick
the challenges are hairy.
Maybe answering small questions
is being contrary? /14
Or maybe adoption
needs more censorship?
Winter or not
@tonysheng essays are lit. /15

There’s a lot to consider
and narratives to spare
all competing for devotion
for interest
for shares. /16
tokeneconomy.co/crypto-narrati…
The truth is both better and worse than it seems
like moments of clarity
within fever dreams /17
What’s sure is what happens
will be shaped by who stays
who’re here to change systems
and not just to play. /18
And so if you’re with me
and ready to fight
and care more about building
than being seen as right...
I don't have 100 ETH to give away
but do some dope shit
and you’ll make Long Reads Sundays! /19

When all’s said and done
and the tales are all told
this bleak crypto winter
might not be so cold. /20
