There's a scene in Good Will Hunting where Chuckie lays some truth on Will:
"Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by to pick you up. And we go out we have a few drinks, and a few laughs and it's great. But you know what the best part of my day is?...
... It's for about ten seconds from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. Because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothin'. Just left. I don't know much, but I know that."
I don't know wtf it says about me, but I can hardly read that without getting emotional
It's one of the greatest moment in cinema
But I bring it up to say it's us, frens
This might be the time and place and market where it becomes possible for some of us to swoop out of here
No words. No goodbyes
We just leave behind our jobs and our laptops and our ethereum address notifications
And we go do some serious f'ing living and building and helping and growing
But remember, the only way you swoop is if you have a plan...
1.5) For now, my mental model of $DOT has shifted from something of an $ETH competitor to a "customizable blockchain in a box" w sharding, inheritable security & interop
2) Devs point to great tooling as a big selling point for $DOT... It's RUST-based, which @daochemist says is great for distributed systems
- Integrating defi yields into tradfi (i.e. @AaveAave yields within the @PayPal app)
- Selling trashbag coins like $BCH
- $BTC yields (@BlockFi, @CelsiusNetwork $CEL)
- CBDCs
- More companies joining @sqcrypto and @MicroStrategy by adding $BTC to their treasuries
