i do a respectable but not great job on family stuff, by virtue of complete elimination of any concept of work/life separation

i always wonder about this
Deloitte and its 132,000 employees will move on without you just fine
whatever, go chill with family at the beach
if i was just another partner at Deloitte or something
my value add to the world is that I do unusual things
this is not a great "life is short" exemplar but I am doing I think fairly important things, I want to do them, and they are unusual and not things that others would do

the world needs you more than your family
I expect that the agents will be in the lead
bc by then i expect in all aspects of my professional life
I have declared to my family that they should expect things to continue to be sortof like this until about 2030
2020 to present, I have not exactly been Family Member of The Year (tm) in my work-life balance
look back to @[david]'s point
so
sow
deservedly slow
it is stealing mindshare and time
AI is legit

ironically your agent army which will be quite useful might be what has delayed the party.. as AI to me just feels like it stole lots of crypto thunder from all types of resources.. monies to time etc
let's start with NFTs :)
remember though, nobody knows anything; remember when all your favorite BTCers were talking about $400K and $1M BTC

we need to get the party started
but this is dragging
2015 BTC felt a bit like this

Have you read anything by Cory Doctorow? I‘m reading one of his books now and he is absolutely one of us, but apparently thinks crypto is still a scam.
it is only us homies, this group has to saddle up and do the job

you know I really do think we will add so much value to Ethereum specifically if we win
i dunno, i do not see any one else doing anything that can scale/build in NFTs
so now I have to fix this too :)
i am personally annoyed with the crypto / NFT space because I had to go do some other thing that I had on the back burner for 10 years and I leave you all a bit less attended for a bit and like the whole NFT space practically collapses lol

obviously if we win, NFTs win bigly
they are doing more jobs
even here
they are more than identity though

NFTs as a primitive for identity, not NFTs as a store of value
effectively
nobody
bc who's left standing?
but it feels true
which is probably not true
tbf, I feel a big weight of responsibility because I think we are the only thing that may prove the whole concept of NFTs

you did say all good things are downstream of the network launching
i have many things i want to try
more interesting to me
more interesting
is something totally new
whereas the network museum
i have passed the point of whether or not the museum purchases will change anything beyond my personal "oh, i lik ethis"
a lot more interesting than if I have 3,200 NFTs
but it is more interesting to see if we can get the network museum working
i have 3,000 NFTs or whatever, it is nice to buy more, don't get me wrong
in any case, I think (ask me again in a few months if I still feel the same way) that I am more interested now in building up the 6529 network museum
will relax a bit after that is done
me I am going crazy bc there are lots of things I want to buy but I want to see what we need to do to get to the other side (blockchain, etc) so I am being cautious because I need to see that through
LP interest in investing in NFTs is currently a big fat 0
