Should I do a one-afternoon live cohort of DeFi Orientation?

Basically for anyone who owns some crypto on Coinbase etc., but wants to learn how to put it to work in the broader crypto ecosystem.

Live walkthroughs where we can do everything together, ask questions, etc.
Okay, test driving this on Friday.

Just scroll down to the live version: learn.nateliason.com/p/defi-orienta…

If you're already in the Self-Paced course and wanna join, ping me in Discord for a coupon code :)
We already have 400+ students in the community so you get access to a great group of people learning this together too 🎉
Update: Gonna do this NEXT Friday (9/3) since this is kinda short notice :)

Been thinking a bit about what kind of new "employment" arrangements might exist in Web3.

Here's one I've been thinking about: Attention Bonds.
There are DAOs, startups, new protocols, etc. that need help but might not have the funds to hire people.

And there are people who want to work at these early companies, but need some degree of financial assurance.
Full-time employment might not be desirable for either / both parties.

And renegotiating every project is kinda annoying and a waste of time.

So: attention bonds.

There's one course I took in High School that I still use daily, and that was arguably the most helpful class I ever took:

Research Methods.

Everyone should have to take a class like this.
It was basically a semester of reading scientific research papers and trying to parse them for the takeaways.

Was this a well-done study?
Are the conclusions valid?
How was it done?
What were the conflicts?
What're the caveats?
Did it replicate?
When you take a class like this you realize a few things:

1. Almost no one reports scientific research accurately.

If you're reading or watching the news talk about science you don't really have any idea what's going on because they have no idea what they're talking about.

Wow sooooo this went way better than I could have predicted.

We launched last night, list price of $0.1.

After a few hours of insanity, it seems to have stabilized (for now) at $0.5.

And that's with us GIVING AWAY $2.5m worth of tokens to the early adopters 🤯
The big question we had going into it was how to guarantee the price didn't get jacked up by whales and bots, which would price out the community members.

So, we airdropped 5% of the total supply to people based on how many Raider NFTs they had.

That ended up being $2.5m.
It also meant that for anyone who bought a CryptoRaider character before the last week, your character more than paid for itself.

We were a little worried that everyone would get their tokens and dump on the market, but instead...

Solidity is fun because it’s like “oh you know how to code? Now do it without decimals or ‘for’ loops”
Not to mention if there’s a tiny exploit someone might steal 10s of millions from your users have fuuuuun kids!
I will say though Solidity programming has been the most fun I’ve had with programming so far.

With such strict rules and really no libraries, it’s more like solving logic puzzles than anything.

So Hone never responded to my questions, naturally.

My hunch is they talked to their lawyer and they said this was a class action dumpster fire waiting to happen.

Maybe that's why health investors wouldn't touch it...

But they did some other stuff!
For one, their Facebook page is gone. Spooky. Image
They're still running ads from their old page, but they've dramatically changed their phrasing.

Now it's much more explicit that you can't just get TRT delivered easy peasy, at least according to the ads.

Reads like something a lawyer would write. Image

Cramming through a programming course is always so mentally exhausting, but then getting to apply it feels fucking awesome.

It's like you gained a new superpower.
Also, name a more banging playlist to work to:

Boom, just rebuilt DeFiCalcs.com in Next, should make it a little snappier
