People often ask: how do @ritualnet engineers ship so fast?
Simple: we play this song at the office on repeat, all day, every day, at very high volume. Creates a real "war time" mentality.

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of st study what we do"

One of the most impactful books I've read in the past few years. Highly recommend.
The teachings have helped me achieve high levels of lucidity/awareness in dreams, and understand their meanings. I'm much more aware during the day, and look forward to sleeping every night :)

putting my armchair qualia theoreticist hat on: perhaps there is a model complexity reduction effect via the induced state

The market value of *all* investable assets sits at $164.5T USD as of Oct 2023, per @StateStreet.
Crypto currently sits at ~$2T, 1.2% of all assets in the world.
What ratio will crypto constitute 5 years from now?

TIL that in 2005, a ski jump was set up with artificial snow on Fillmore St in San Francisco (in 65 degree weather!). The results are awesome:

Remember when there only used to be *14* coins?
Major theme of the 2020s is realizing tokens can be used to represent value of any kind, and all assets in the world are eventually ported onto the internet via crypto rails.

Cool 2014 paper from @josephbonneau @socrates1024, replacing Bitcoin's use of ECDSA with hash-based signatures. Leads to stronger quantum resistance properties and easier to reason about security (no asym key crypto)

A great thing about Ethereum is it’s decreased the number of application-specific blockchains that would need to each bootstrap their own security, users, asset, etc. But the smart contracts still derive code from a few places.

Number of derivatives/forks of major chains. Would love to see this graph market-cap weighted, at which point BTC, ETH, and LTC would likely be most heavily represented.

"Trust is like energy. It cannot be removed, only re-distributed."
The intuition here is finding ways to build verifiable markets via cryptographically/mathematically-defined fair exchange of services.
