And sometimes you just need someone chad enough to stick themselves into that probe. Our job is to keep those brave souls as safe as possible while exploring the new frontiers of DeFi!
This is my personal design philosophy I bring when I contribute to yearn.
When you are investing in a token, you are *not* investing in the software it runs on.
Not in the technical community members who pour their energy into new creative ideas.
You are not investing in someone else, you are *asking* to join a community and build value for yourself.
The software? It's meaningless. Just bits and lost ether.
Technical community members can add a lot of value through their creativity, but that value ultimately doesn't matter without a community that cares enough to use it (and use it correctly).
A token isn't just a meme.
I mean, a lot of people treat it like this. They think smart people are going to make their bags moon, a lot of other people think they can make money betting against it.
This is the marketplace of ideas, made liquid. Buy and sell ideas, but ideas are meaningless without action.
I don't always generate GPG keys, but when I do it's in a coffeeshop using unsecured wifi
2017 me, setting up a new seed phrase:
- constructs electronic clean room
- puts phone in a hermetically sealed lockbox
- visually inspects hardware for tampering
2020 me, setting up a new seed phrase:
- in a coffee shop
- generated on phone
- yells the 24 random words out loud
