How many of us still use Facebook groups, even though we hate Meta? Our friends are there, IRL and URL.
Culture makes tech sticky, and tech makes culture accessible.
Some of us are still angry about the Zora update of 2024, but that was just the beginning. If one of a kind art can be turned into millions of tradable tokens, real estate is already here and moon resources are next.
If you want to be part of something really exclusive, be born a Rockefeller, possess multiple championship rings, or keep your concert tickets tucked inside their relevant CD case.
It’s attention over time, the scarcest resource, that proves anyone cares.
The old days of site visits translating to sales, and feeds full of content from friends, are long gone. We need better ways to find signal in the noise.
Nurses know more about medicine, teachers know more about education, gamers know more about games, dancers know more about dance.
If I build a protocol ecosystem by only onboarding software developers, the ecosystem fills with dev tools. What’s missing is more kinds of builders.
If we give teachers Cursor, will Google still be in so many classrooms?
The more we spend time together on the internet, the more nebulous our organizations become.
In earlier DAO experiments, the idea was to keep governance internet based, and then only interface with legal, financial, people, etc, where those parts actually interact.
Exploits make this even more urgent. I’m not sure if anything can ever be 100% secure, unless it doesn’t have access to the internet.
We can make certain things attractive to who or what we want, and unattractive to who or what we don’t want. For example, a non transferable token attracts someone or something that wants to build reputation, but is useless for someone or something that wants to anonymously trade assets.
I’ve been using a custom AI agent, called Clyo, built by Hodlon, to improve my operations organization for Chones. It’s making me faster and more effective. I’ve had more time to indulge in regular afternoon yoga and meditation sessions.
Slow, sensual & messy is very human, but it’s not a rejection of tech. It’s a compass adjustment in how to use it and why.
Luckily, Chones is a group of lab rats in lab coats. I’ve been testing these ideas with us, then fine tuning how I steward the community based on what happens.
If your organization is looking for a high signal, collaborative and curious network, please reach out. Chones Digital Maker Space is curated manually to keep trust high. We appreciate your patience with response times.
Gratitude to Jordan Nerison of Times New for Chones brand design and logo art.
