coming to terms w the realization that i’ve likely exhausted my curiosity matrix with regard the sliver of crypto that provides the most valuable, and meaningful, rewards personally 

things like social mechs, network architecture, & opportunities to market experiment with tech & humanities logic 

an ironic period of mourning due to the integration of the technology in my workflow henceforth. as well as the conviction in the tech stack and lack of desire to extricate from the ecosystem 

at the same time i feel quite confident in the general duration of the coming tenure required to erect things like network societies, horizontally agentic systems of QoL upgrading, and open protocolized app layers w products & services as the main driver.

therefore i have little desire to spend my time in the same manner as before, in the kind of limited station currently afforded. 

instead i’m reminded of the broader curiosity, what i now am calling the great digitalization. 

a digitally native humanity. the future of post-human civilization. where the internet is really an inter-net. 

cryptography and cryptocurrencies i undoubtedly believe have a massive part to play in this. part of why i feel no desire to abandon it.

simultaneously, it feels inauthentic to try and convince myself that there are still large leaps to be taken from my current position. 

my theories are documented, public, and many times over peer-reviewed. those theories have been stress tested in the market, with some validated, and many rejected or refined. 

the applications, protocols, and chains i’ve been fortunate enough to counsel have largely succeeded and are thriving. they no longer grapple with the area of inquisition that i was able to assist in. 

supercycle theory i believe to have played out. and my long term convictions now enter decade long price discovery. 

so the resistance that can be felt internally points toward a desire to avoid leaving a more privileged position on a mountain i’m familiar with summiting, for another rookie position on a new mountain in the greater range of curiosity.

mountains like: 

• ai

• bci

• mr

• biogenetics

• quantum

• robotics

if there’s any meta learning to be taken from the past 5 yrs in crypto, it’s that nearly all these frontier technology fields are wide open for curious minds. barely anything is figured out, and the minority % of high agency & network agreeable individuals are dying to educate and integrate new members. 

the real bottleneck is my own effort. which seems easily rectified.
