Ever wonder how "alive" the Ethereum network truly is? It's not just about the number of ETH in existence, but how actively that ETH is being used within its digital ecosystem. This is where the idea of velocity comes in, similar to the well-known concept about the velocity of money. Think of it like the economy of a bustling city. A high velocity of money means cash is constantly changing hands, fueling businesses and growth. Similarly, the velocity of ETH measures how frequently Ether moves...

Today's Philosophy Mondays will be an interlude from our exploration of knowledge and values. I just finished reading Erik Hoel's wonderful book "The World Behind the World," which I highly recommend reading (I may write a short review). One of the concepts in the book is that of "scientific incompleteness." This is the idea that while science has proven extremely powerful there are some areas of understanding that will remain forever elusive. We of course have a hint of this already from mat...

We’re building a BIZARRE and creative BizarreBeasts universe with the $BB token at its core. An ecosystem where original artwork, media, and web3 games collide, where value is driven by creativity and community, and every decision helps fuel long-term sustainability and economic value. One of those powerful decisions for the long-term value of $BB is token burning. You’ve probably heard the term “burning tokens” tossed around X, Farcaster, Reddit, and community calls, but what does it actuall...

In the long arc of California's infrastructural history — aqueducts arcing like steel ribbons over mountains, grids humming with electric promise, invisible networks carrying water through time — a quieter revolution has taken root. One made not of concrete and steel, but of CSVs, APIs, and unlikely alliances. A seed planted in the parched urgency of drought has now grown into one of the most quietly influential governance innovations of our era: the California Water Data Collaborative. Born ...

How micro-activations are sometimes the best way to keep up momentum in community organizing work

Yesterday was the Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health event here in Toronto. I'd really like to thank everyone who donated to my ride. I raised $3,800. And the broader Multiplex Construction team raised over $14k. 100% of these donations will go directly to the Baycrest Foundation to fund work related to dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain function related illnesses. As advertised, I rode 75 km, which is an improvement from the last time I did a charity cycling event like this. My friend A...
