It may be obvious in hindsight that we actually built crypto for the machines

> trust is the foundational resource of any economy
> blockchain is an institutional technology that lowers the cost of trust
also most comments here entirely missing the point: a defi protocol doesn't need to give up its transparency for users to opt into privacy
pic from my notes circa 2020
dear noobs
the point of blockchains is not transparency, and it never has been
this is a psyop that early crypto people told the feds when they kept being accused of doing crime
the point is quite literally consensus without central trust
e.g., a bunch of computers agreeing with each other on balances without needing someone in the middle like a bank
in other words, the point is public verifiability
back in the day, the only way to achieve this was for everyone to see everything
satoshi even says this in the bitcoin forums in 2010. that he thinks bitcoin/blockchain would be more effective if you could prove without revealing but that he can't see how to get around the double spend problem in this case
well now the tech has evolved, and you can verify without exposing everything via ZK
the transparency of blockchains should not be thought of as a feature except in niche cases that target performance (where the physics is in favor of transparency, i.e solana)
the point of crypto and blockchains is verifiability and distributing trust, this does not require transparency anymore in the year 2025

some great conversation around PoL, shoutout @rachit @24_gutta for having me on!
in summary: you aren't bullish enough - PoL v2 is truly ready to incentivize anything

State of Proof of Liquidity ft @MEADGod and @pharoxe
In this episode of the @touchgrass_pod, @24_gutta and I chat with Ozzy and Pharoxe about:

0:10 - inviting @SmokeyTheBera to come on the pod to talk about PoL
1:22 - Initial appeal for Ozzy and Pharoxe to build on Berchain

always hated the term web3 gaming, propagated by LinkedIn influencers of last cycle
they managed to pick the term which would be most repulsive to actual gamers
it's time to kill that cringe narrative
what I'm bullish on is a new wave of games leveraging:
- persistent storage/db solutions (knock knock @StopKilingGames)
- high TPS architecture
- strong DeFi integrations wherever there's a token involved
Web3 gaming is quite literally dead. Anyone saying otherwise is coping. It's dead, gone, completely cooked.
This presents a clean slate for real builders. Anything you work on publicly has full attention of your target audience. Gamers are still here, we are waiting. Bullish.

ready for C.R.I.M.E
love that @SmokeyTheBera and team made the call to keep this proposal clean and simple, despite all the thought that went into it
that, plus the accuracy and contextual awareness displayed in their stakeholder analysis - there's something to be bullish about from all fronts
no surprise that the discourse is much clearer and immensely bullish as a result
be-long miberas

if you read between the lines you will realize bakeland is not a single product
bakeland MMORPG is a long-term bet on a gameplay loop optimized for crypto natives (imajin farmville meets clash of clans)
whereas 'protocol' updates underline a whole new primitive for gameFi altogether - something we've been preparing in stealth

yeet is now a contender for biggest ponzi of all time
fat cashbacks on lottery tickets = infinite money glitch
AND I got a pretty wild guess as to what [redacted] is; eyes peeled

This is one of the best pieces I’ve read in a long time and I absolutely agree with it. I strongly recommend giving it a read.
What I love about it is that Berachain’s PoL architecture is so powerful that with just a few small tweaks, it can evolve into completely different things.
It all comes down to your imagination and execution. There are countless ideas you can bring to life — and Berachain is the only or one of the very few chains that actually make this possible.
Here’s a short version of the article as I understood it (still, go read the original — this summary doesn’t do it justice):
"Perhaps what Berachain needs to do here is shift its focus away from simply enabling farming within the network and treating the gas token as a farm token.
Instead, it should start distributing incentives to users on other chains as well and then collect a fee or tax from the rewards generated by those incentives.
These collected fees could then be used either for buybacks or, as outlined in the PoL v1.1 proposal, to grow chain-owned liquidity.
In this way, Berachain could move beyond the basic farm-token model and build a system that generates revenue and uses it strategically to support the price of $BERA."

'not all attention is worth the same'
while a novel experiment, loudio was no fun
incentivizing economic games over mindless shilling might be a better way to increase value generated per unit of attention
time to bring back 2021 gameFi summer powered by loudio's mindshare hack
only thing that can save CT vibes at this point
*takes notes*
