with CFTC moving to possibly allow US citizens to access offshore exchanges possibly, and Coinbase already getting green-lit to offer increasingly exotic products
it seems like this bull will be ETF and CEX and partially DAT-driven
a lot of onchain gambling has simply lost its luster for retail. this will be the case until it isn't. maybe gaming or something changes things
NFTs will pump based on interest in digital status goods as crypto people make money. could see vintage art making a comeback. memecoins...i mean, maybe a few. but i'm not sure hordes are coming back onchain for this. prediction markets, yah, they'll keep running, but within their respective bets
DeFi pumps maybe if QQQ-style investors buying ETFs want to add onchain financial infrastructure. there is some decent narrative value i think for this crowd
meanwhile, a lot of onchain adoption will now shift from gambling to more productive use cases. some form of payments seems likely. global settlement of USD and other RWAs. store of value use case for ETH and BTC
idk, but that's how it looks to me atm

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

the big "existential" question i have for the future of work is
how will new/junior employees with minimal knowledge & skills will contribute in a workplace where senior people all ask an AI first to get what they need?
explicit and implicit apprenticeship models seem at risk
these models have existed in some shape or form probably since the dawn of humanity
they were popularized through feudal models in the later middle ages
it may not be an overstatement to say that they were important for the eventual exit of the middle ages into the renaissance
these models carry in semi-formal fashion into modern trades
and even in the world of business, junior employees implicitly often play apprentice roles as part of their own "professional development"
this often looks like getting handed down tasks from above, note-taking, etc.
aesthetics are now commoditized (it’s just a formula)
human intention, process, (hi)story, and context, are now where more than 90% of the value lies
internalize this, and adapt
a lot of people projecting onto this to infer that the curator(s) is/are who will be important
maybe, tbd. i know some interesting experiments are underway here
BUT for me, it is about reflecting on the soul of the *individual* artist in their works, and bringing light to it
all art can be considered through many layers, imo
layer 4: what do i see visually?
layer 3: what does it mean to me? (projection)
layer 2: what does it mean to others?
layer 1: what does the resulting work mean to the artist?
layer 0: why did the artist create this?
the mental energy i need trade on @coinbase, avoiding the traps of the regular retail interface, getting orders consistently filled to a token count versus dollar amount, even quickly finding the token i want to buy
is quickly becoming overwhelming for my busy brain
send halp
@coinbase i appreciate all of the work Coinbase does for the ecosystem, but the current suite of trading products and absolute, unmitigated, UI/UX trainwreck
1) give me an "advanced.coinbase.com" so i can cut out all of the BS garbage on the site (HOME BUTTON IS A TRAP!) 2) make that page feel like a pro trading interface. defaulting to "all markets" page is garbage
h/t to @dmitricherniak for creating one of the most compelling long-form gen art collections, and @irvinkwok for helping me with the impossible task of curating 3 Ringers from my collection for this display
from left-to-right, these are Ringers #700, #104, and #42
