Crypto is ground zero for a fundamental transformation in how humans organize work and create value

We're not just creating new currencies, we're replacing traditional corporations with autonomous systems that offer seamless entry and exit points for human collaboration

The industrial-era model of lifetime employment (40 years at one company, culminating in a gold watch and retirement) is obsolete. This model was designed for a world of slow, predictable change. Today's accelerating technological landscape demands a more fluid approach

In the emerging paradigm, we'll engage with work differently:

👉 Contributing to projects that excite us, when they excite us
👉Moving fluidly between opportunities as our interests and the market evolve
👉Building businesses that can run autonomously, maintained by whoever finds value in operating them

These decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and smart contract systems function like self-sustaining machines. They can be:

👉Spun up rapidly by anyone with an idea
👉Operated by rotating groups of interested participants
👉Scaled or wound down based on actual utility, not corporate inertia

This shift represents more than just a new way to work... it's a reimagining of human potential. Instead of selling our time to monolithic entities, we're becoming free agents in a networked economy where value flows to those who create it, unmediated by traditional corporate hierarchies

The future isn't about job security; it's about opportunity velocity. Not about climbing ladders, but about building networks. Not about retirement, but about continuous reinvention

Lots of crypto projects still focus deeply on lore, but I'm wondering if the approach is breaking.

A few reasons:

1) LLMs are changing our preferred communication mode. They can reduce even the most complex ideas into a few grokable lines. If that becomes the norm, then it means I've got to be able to understand your protocol in a few seconds (via 1 to 2 lines of text). If I can't, I'm either going to ignore it altogether or go summarize it in an LLM anyway.

2) As crypto goes mainstream, the audience base shifts from cutting-edge tech lovers (who tend to be inspired by sci-fi-like world-building) to normie pragmatists who don't really GAF and are using your protocol for 30 seconds while they're on the toilet.

3) Just a few short years ago, crypto was so new and experimental that it required analogical thinking to educate your audience. Now, the world's up-leveled. Audiences get the crypto basics and are less likely to be suckered in by a story, buzzwords and superfluous language.

So where are we heading next? Not sure but my guess is towards a world where apps focus less on story and more on social activities and/or gamification. Less storytelling, more interaction. Would love to hear your take 👇

Attention spans and information overload have rekt our minds

And founders still think they can advocate for their protocol with a single tweet

You've got to be relentless. Each news event isn't worth a single tweet, it's worth 10
