  Crypto has hit a local maxima, like the internet did in 1998. How you monetize currently in crypto is to clip trading volume. The users doing volume are traders. so everything ships for traders, perps, options, CEXes, dexes, launchpads, etc... Build for traders and you get instant traction. build for anyone else and you get crickets, so the traction data says traders are the only market, and the capital follows the traction data. in 1998 every serious internet company was a portal. Yahoo, Excite, Lycos, AOL, Infoseek. the metric was traffic. Everything was built to keep the user on the page, because the user on the page was the business. Search was actively deprioritized. A good search engine sends the user away, which is negative stickiness, which made search a bad product. In 1999 Excite passed on buying Google for under a million dollars. In 2000 Yahoo hired Google to power its own search results, because search was a cost center you outsourced. We are in the portal era of crypto. The Google of crypto will not show immediate traction. Google didn't. It sent users away, made no money, and looked like a toy to every smart person grading it on 1998's metric. If you want immediate traction, the market has plenty for you. Go find the next pump fun. The next Aster. The next shiny thing traders rotate into for three weeks. The next big thing requires conviction about what crypto is for, not what does volume in the next 30 days.

  @NotTheExpertYT @neon_everest You guys don’t understand how **** works at all. A great example is the internet itself. Back early on the internet was free. Remember AOL? They gave it away to get you hooked. Once you were they started charging for it. Now it’s just another utility. Same with games. They gave them away to get you hooked. Now they gotta turn that into cash by charging you for everything. It’s the silicone valley model of doing business.

  @GrowingUpRetro I did not use them all. Never used AOL and never slept on a waterbed.

  @ericbrownzzz I don't know if this was intended, but I like the linkage b/w Online America and AoL (A.rchers o.f L.oaf and America Online; an internet service from when Archers were active). AoL: Web in front. But in back of web, some chat rooms with three people in them.

  I hate digging into my credentials, but in the context of online child safety and child exploitation, they matter because governments and child safety lobbyists are railroading everyone with personal opinions based on dangerous ideology. Being a parent doesn't qualify me to say what actually works, what' doesn't, and what the cost is in relation to privacy. I've spent more years building standards, API services, filtering technologies, and content moderation techniques than just about anyone. Very few experts sit at the intersection of internet infrastructure, telecommunications, app security, child exploitation detection technology, and content classification and filtering; I'm one of them. People with my background are being entirely ignored by policymakers for a reason. We know what's technically possible, what's not, and the catastrophic costs of getting it wrong. Security isn't just at odds with convenience, it's almost always fundamentally at odds with privacy. I built my first website 30 years ago, and was introduced to online child safety and content moderation that same year, in 1996, when I joined AOL. At the time, I helped launch new technologies and ran global testing for the launch of AIM, AOL's instant messenger and the internet's first consumer instant messaging app. I co-founded the W3C standard for content labelling and web classification, and in 2004, co-invented the concept of classifying internet accounts (labelling them by risk, identity, or purpose). I foresaw that the future of online trust and safety required filtering accounts, not just websites and web pages. Features like Twitter's verified checkmark and LinkedIn's verification are implementations of this very idea - they just got it wrong. I've run operational calls with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the US Department of Justice on the automation of monitoring, detection and reporting, and I signed an MOU with NCMEC to help combat exploitation through browser software and mobile security services that my teams built for online child safety. The keyword tracking list Thorn shared with partners came from me over 15 years ago, inherited from a colleague who built it for CEOP while seconded from AOL. I also advised IWF. My team built the first child safety API service for mobile device OEMs, an even deeper kind of device-level scanning than Chat Control. Samsung was set to embed it in every device they sold, and Apple planned to put it in the settings of every iPhone, iPad, and Mac, around 1.3 billion devices between them. So I know what this kind of technology can and can't do on a phone, and I know what it costs in terms of end user privacy. Both deals drifted away because we were too early, one of the hardest things about being a tech founder. Years later, Samsung and Apple built parental controls so good that a parent can now block any app or website on a child's phone in a couple of minutes. When I was interviewed on BBC Newsnight 14 years ago, it was to demonstrate how bad parental controls were. Now I'm telling you they're as good as I could possibly hope for. Most leading security companies license my patents for in-app security, covering more than 50 categories of classification, including anti-phishing, malware, child abuse, pornography, and disinformation. Chat Control 2.0 mandates client-side scanning of links for apps like Signal. Luckily of Signal, they require my permission or face infringing in my patents. I'm *extremely* unlikely (read that as never) to license my patents for the purpose of government mandated censorship. I have declined governments in the past and I will do it again in the future.

  @grok why is your latency so slow compared to ChatGpt, Gemini, Claude, etc. I wait and wait and wait while you think. Reminds me of AOL dial up in the 90s.
