My fellow retards,
Anything is amphibious if you can get it back out of the water
Another Schlockian gem.
Humans, especially those that live in consumption based economies, oft desire to purchase items for a single task. They buy a water bottle to fill with drinking water. Then they buy some glassware to fill with pouring water for their plants. This is because the latter bottle was marketed as a house plant watering device, and the pinnacle of consumerist fulfillment is to have a thing for every need. Are you fucking stupid?
Physical items have multi-purpose uses. Sometimes it is your imagination that needs to be expanded rather than the item itself. Those in “advanced” economies love to purchase new shit, even if they have sufficient coverage of that item’s tasks with gear they already own. Those in “not-advanced” economies make do with what they have and get way more value out of their possessions.
It’s like these idiots who buy anti-freeze and then pay again to buy coolant. Anti-freeze has all the same ingredients as coolant, you just need to add some water. Imagine how dumb a first-worlder must seem to humans who walk earth when they find out some Karens pay $1+ for a bottle of water.
Many items in your home are more useful than the narrow value you get out of them. Schlock makes this point above. Something *is* something if it can do it. If it can handle that function. Phon/ongod realizes that this Schlockian edict expands beyond the physical. We have entire systems that are built for one thing, but are wildly useful for something else. The problem is that human minds focus on the one thing it is marketed for, and fail to use it for its other capabilities.
Great example of this from a few years back:
Ethereum was being used as a transaction system. Vitalik had a need to show the world he was alive, so instead he used it as a timestamping server. Fucking smart.
Many in the discord think of Phonon protocol as a way to “move crypto off the chain.” Not wrong, but it is so much more than that. It really should be thought of as a generalized secure key exchange. The early internet pioneers would have had to be completely detached from reality to imagine that the low level protocols they built would give birth to global products that connect all mankind and allow for real time high definition streaming. The same perhaps, is true of you. You are fixated on what will be a very important aspect of the Phonon protocol, that will likely only be a small part of what it becomes. Applications and perhaps entire societies will be built on top of it as a primitive. It is a primitive that even a whole head of elves cannot fully understand at this moment, but what is certain is that the DAO cannot be fixated on one use case. An absolute cornucopia of value can be built above this protocol, much bigger than mere crypto transfers.
It begins at Phonon DAO, and ends with a fully fledged world economy and governance structure backed by public blockchains and open source code.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
