The only place for the tech to go is onward and upward.

Oh, wait, you all aren't talking about the __tech__...

------

Markets... ok...

Public markets are fine, important even - but they won't determine the transformative power of the tech.

Don't look at things upside down.🙃

We're excited to have you join us!

Welcome, Ben!

You have taken the road less traveled.

Which is good... because, someday, that same road is going to be packed. There will be lights and signs - the journey will be easier, but the view won't ever the be the same.

You see that Peeple...? That's the real "moon"...

Cool tech, passionate people, culminating, we hope, in a better world. (Oh, yes, and an unforgettable working vacation.)

"When moon?" #buidl_bali - that's when.

Shhhh... don't say that. Climb a tree!

Enjoy camping.

Love your message to the world. We're on the same page.

Welcome to Peepeth.

@CanYa

Just perusing your site. You have a few typographical issues:

The ampersand symbol is not being displayed correctly.

The site page title should use the plural " freelancer __s__ " - (unless that's an informed seo decision).

Looking great overall!

I've applied for the upcoming #buidl_bali as well.

Awesome opportunity to make connections with people in the space who are passionate about what they are building and *believe* in the transformative potential of public blockchains.

Thanks for chronicling your adventures on the blockchain!

We don't need to wait for any congress interrogations to happen in any single country!

We can double the number of users overnight... if only each existing Peepeth user could introduce this platform to a friend. :-)

I think we have lots of room for improvement, don't get me wrong!
I, like you, believe we *will* improve.

It's just that I fear some/most of the things that make the current system "easy" come from the fact that it's rewritable.

May we never lose our way to have that luxury.

(Not that we don't have legitimate, secure schemes to recover funds... just that it would never be as *easy* as a button press. Too much is at stake.)

Touché.

Can a system where no one has the ability to reset your password ever be as easy to navigate as one without a reset button?

Because reset buttons and money don't seem to go together...

It's hard to compare digital identities & owned digital value to email accounts...

Can having to keep track of your own car keys, gas in your tank, and air in your tires ever be as mindlessly __easy__ as having a professional chauffeur?

Should ease of use always be the primary goal? What many of the chauffeurs habitually show up drunk?

I will not comment on the irony of the Peepeth founder and lead (read: sole) dev asking for PMs on a stale web2 platform.

I'll just say that I'm excited for private messages on this front end. Later, for private messages that don't depend on a central entity at all.

Can't wait!

That said - decentralize all the things! Decentralized exchanges __are the future!__

Just be careful not to guide people to look "out there" for excuses.

The solutions to all these problems are within the system and communities we're building.

Be awesome. People will follow.

The bad press is at least a likely a symptom of the bear market as it could be a catalyst.

The security is stellar - assuming individuals involved manage and control their keys properly.

You can't make a [financial] revolution conditional on strong support from the incumbents.

I will go one step further.

__Wherever there is *life*, there is an opportunity for kindness.__

Humanism strikes a cord with me, certainly - but when it comes to the rest of the life that surrounds us, there has generally been a great deficit of compassion.

I tend to lump education in with advertising - and I think you're spot on when you say PR and outreach are lacking. Much of the popular media coverage is about price only. Uninspiring.

It's a grass roots movement without enough fertilizer.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

If crypto currencies broadly failed to gain mainstream adoption, what would it mean? __and why?__

1) Can't have nice things without centralized power brokers
2) There was a failure to educate people properly
3) Regulators had squashed innovation
4) All of the above

5) [other]

@You talkin' to me?

Welcome to Peepeth!

Unless you think democracy has entirely failed and big businesses and the wealthy are in control... in which case they would probably be in no hurry to embrace open platforms that rapidly erode their ability to rent seek.

Is that what you're saying?

__I doubt they can stop it__

I don't understand the question.

Suppose the US alone used to need 4 million horseshoes maintained annually... did anyone believe the Farriers would permit people to adopt transportation aside from horses?!

People will opt for what is better. Public blockchains can be better.

I've been using the Proton Visionary plan for a while... it includes vpn and email. If your correspondents are techy, you could use PGP for less cost. If they are all on gmail, you're not really getting past the "problem" of data harvesting.

If you support the vision... A+

It was worth the watch. Trying to get people to use products and services that don't sell customer data is difficult in my experience.

People have a hard time understanding what the problem is. This did a good job of shining the spotlight on some of the troubling realities.

Before I watch it - I would like to say this:

"We" are not doing that. In fact, "we" __here__ are actively looking to participate in attempts to fix the broken internet we've ended up with.

...

Will watch now. Thanks for sharing.

I think it's a community *composition* thing, rather than a size thing.

For people here, crypto isn't just magic internet money - at the very least, they know enough about the tech to install MetaMask and sign some messages. They can see the writing on the wall.

Price != Future

Not to be negative in any way - but the wording around having rights to your **own** designs seems a little off-putting. People should have rights to their designs by default. They are __their__ designs...

Maybe you mean this game/platform will help them monetize their designs?

Just keep peeping.

Speaking candidly here: actually doing that is pretty rare among "earthlings". Promising to do that and *then* messing everything up is more par for the course.

Let's stay hopeful, though...

Welcome to Peepeth!

Before today fades in to tomorrow... In honor of that American holiday...

I'm thankful for public blockchains broadly, for the idea of a global virtual computer à la Ethereum, and for Peepeth using this new tech in an effort to make social media more positive.

May they prevail.

#I-Agree-CallMeGwei

Hey! Say what you want. I've never met a broke TA proponent.

__/s__

They can create charts solely for that purpose.

;-)

No need to make this a tradition...

That said, the image could have at least quoted the price in DAI.

The future is digital money - they may be pegged to whatever their communities choose, but at the end of the day their inner workings will be transparent and on a public chain.

Just... one... more... turn...

I dropped this: __was__

Distracted, playing with the new *markup abilities*:
* do bullet points work?

* just wondering...

That's _exactly_ what I referring to.

Thank's for the ensō, @voyager

Glad we're in the same cryptoverse.

You don't need to act here. You can wear the mask if you want, though.

Welcome to Peepeth.

In 2009, Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs chief, said bankers were doing "God's work"... do you remember that?

Nine years later, I will go on record saying this: blockchains and their communities are doing the universe's work.

No center, no appeal to authority, forever expanding.

Agree. One of them is severely overrated.

For me, it's *not* the one with the potential to reorganize the world.

It's waiting to be written. I'll proofread... go write!

Anyone here planning to try and move to that "blockchain city" if/when such a move would be a possibility?

Welcome to Peepeth!

Stay a while. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, should have said "crypto reddit" - I'm sure the rest of the place is plugging along like normal. Still better here!
