My fellow retards,
Recently a number of elves have taken to the study of risk and the men who take it—the ones who put their lives on the line for things the herd cannot understand…is it the glory? The thrill of accomplishment? Something else?
Meanwhile, look at the fear of risk evident throughout western society. It’s as if we walk around with metaphorical knee pads and helmets, afraid of the slightest misstep. WIERDos worry their children might fall off the swing and scratch their elbow, and they run up in a panic if it happens. The kid sees this panic in their caretaker, they reflect it, and suddenly the baby is hysterical crying because “this little hurt plus moms big reaction must mean bad”. The modern West has become a society devoid of real danger, but overwhelmed by fear.
This goes far beyond playground scrapes. Western risk aversion can be seen in business choices made at the highest levels. Companies would rather pander to wokest 1% than risk a boycott by the loudest and most self-loathing. Studios would rather churn out another mindless superhero sequel because it is practically guaranteed to recover its production costs at the box office.
These companies are not willing to take risks, and thus they deprive society of any new beauty and art. Yet another Marvel or Star Wars with the same plot arc is not cinema, not what moves society forward and pulls heartstrings. Studios churn out this derivative trash because it is safe. Whoever replaced Bob Iger knows the nerdboys will continue with their Disney+ subscriptions so long as they push quantity over novel quality.
This risk-less-taking is apparent in crypto too. Many of the new projects in the past two years have jumped on one of two trends. “This network is the real Ethereum killer” or “this network is the new L2 of choice”. Few out there try something new. Few line themselves up to tackle the hard problems that plague crypto. Few want to touch hardware. Few want to get in the trenches and bring about real change.
10/10 elves find it a pleasure to work on a novel project that paves its own path. PHONON is not derivative in relation to anything.
The only thing here to be derivative to is phonongirl, such that one could lie tangent to her curves all day.
May good humour lighten your heart during this bear market…opportunities abound at Phonon DAO, for those who are willing to risk it.
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.
