Most systems are convex - they're fundamentally unstable, and decohere over time. Exceptional ones are concave - they self-correct and pull back to the right outcome. Here's Alex Komoroske (@komorama.bsky.social) on spotting the difference, and why it matters:

During the Gensler era, Washington went from curious about crypto… to not curious at all. Here's @ammori (chief legal officer @uniswap at the time) on how "crypto" became deeply political:

I spoke w/ MC Lader & Marvin Ammori for the latest episode of The Slow Hunch. They spent 4 years together building Uniswap - scaling it from a tiny team into one of the most important companies in DeFi. MC served as president + coo. Marvin was chief legal officer.

The interesting challenge with crypto primitives is that they are either loved or hated. Especially if you're building for consumers. Here's @dwr and @varunsrin on how they think about these primitives while building @farcaster_xyz:

It's always fun talking to Ben Leventhal because he has the best stories about the restaurant scene in NYC. He's been at this for 20+ years and has seen it all. Here's one from back when he was building Eater:

I spoke with Ben Leventhal for the latest ep of the slow hunch. Ben’s built Eater, Resy, and now Blackbird -- all anchored in one belief: restaurants are universally loved but fundamentally broken businesses -- and that there must be a better way. Hope you enjoy!
