Chapter twenty-one has come into the world...

Though the pace is slower, the act of finding each work only deepens my joy.

Story time!

I've been thinking about conversational commerce since working for @ethstatus in 2016.

Can we generate contracts from chat, on the fly, such that you could talk & transact with anyone, even if you had never met them?

And it just happened for me, unexpectedly.

What are these many different systems?

Lots of people I talk to are excited about stablecoins of some kind, or tokenisation of all the things.

Is that all we can create with programmable money? Stuff that looks like what we have, but "cheaper, faster, better"?

Seems lame.

"This is the paradox we must live with as we go on dying: that we are finite but unfinished, that maturity is not the prelude to mortality but the discovery of the immortal in us."

Maria Popova

“If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal — that is your success.”

Thoreau
