2022-03-23 18:19:20 +0000 UTCValve called up Yanis Varoufakis to study the secondary markets that were popping up in their game communities (yes like hat trading in Team Fortress 2) and to figure out how to get their cut. He talks about it in this interview which is really good https://the-crypto-syllabus.com/yanis-varoufakis-on-techno-feudalism/

2022-02-25 23:30:41 +0000 UTCI really enjoy Felix’s take on the path from Ulster Protestantism (imo it’s predicated by Calvinism) into contemporary American capitalism. Funnily enough it’s also a big reactionary idea, but of course those guys unironically worship Elon Musk, so it’s kind of a moot point.
2022-02-24 20:13:35 +0000 UTCOthers have mentioned it but ‘Line Goes Up - The Problem with NFTs’ is mandatory viewing. Dan Olsen has always been interesting, but the last few years the quality of his work has skyrocketed. Brilliant doc/essay - should be shown in schools

2022-02-20 21:48:14 +0000 UTCI'd like to see one artist just go like "Yeah I'm minting a NFT because you motherfuckers aren't paying me enough. Crypto sucks but I want to buy a house. "
