I am sorry but you seem to have fallen for the caricature. Woke is about facing the fact of the traditionally marginalized. And bringing them on board. Getting them to participate. Breaking the glass walls and ceilings that hold them down. People of all backgrounds want a seat.

🔺 EXCLUSIVE: Ukraine is massing a million-strong fighting force equipped with western weapons to recover its southern territory from Russia, the nation’s defence minister has revealed to The Times https://t.co/it1vJpDzpq

🗣️ “It was a long process, a month and a half, but we got a result. Ukraine had a Soviet-era armed forces with thirty-year-old weapons. We changed this in three months,” Reznikov said

As someone who recently just took this exploration, Ethereum.
— Cole Murray (@_ColeMurray) May 6, 2022
An issue I ran into, happy to hear feedback on, is most ideas are simply not viable due to TX fee costs.
If each operation I do is $2-15, a significant number of use cases go out the window.
I would build a writing, podcasting and video community where Creators could monetize with NFT integration, with major partnerships from brands that will integrate NFTs into their business like Walmart, Starbucks and so forth. These creators would own at least 95% of the theirrev

It seems like the best way to cut my teeth and learn how things should work. Plus, starting with Ethereum means I can, in principle, expand to other EVM compatible chains. Longer term, I'd like to launch on Solana too 🙏
If I had no idea, in #Ethereum, because it is popular.
— $jehrhardt (@derjan) May 5, 2022
If I did the right research, on #Cardano. It has PoS, low gas fees and the same security as BTC. And an amazing community of course 😉#Web3
#tezos is the easy answer. Low enough fees to actually deploy to main net, lowest programming learning curve with being able to use Python on @SmartPy_io. And the ability to get involved with governance and vote on proposals

— George Siosi Samuels (@GeorgeSiosi) May 5, 2022
- Original fixed, Bitcoin protocol
- Actualy scales on-chain
- Largest mined blocks
- Most energy efficient PoW chain
- Highest PoW transaction throughput
- NFTs can actually be stored on-chain (e.g @rarecandyio)
- Been 51% attacked, yet survived all
Ethereum because no one just coming in will be able to first learn/hear about another ecosystem. Maybe solana but highly doubt it

Online Courses And The Global South
Juan Lindo, president of El Salvador, 1841-42 (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Taking journals online, taking world class courses online fundamentally changes things. This below is a welcome report.
Online Courses Put Pressure on Universities in Poorer Nations
edX, the $60 million collaboration between MIT and Harvard to stream “massive open online courses,” or MOOCs, over the Web. ..... The University of El Salvador, located in San Salvador, is the only public university in the country. It spends $60 million a year to teach 50,000 students, and its budget is so limited that it can only accept about one-third of applicants. (By comparison, the University of Michigan, which has a similar number of students, spends $1.6 billion on its core academic mission, not including sports teams, dorms, and hospitals.) Protests over the shortage of spots regularly shut down the campus. Semesters don't end on time. The university doesn't appear in international rankings. ..... within 50 years there might only be 10 universities still “delivering” higher education. ...... One problem is out-of-date coursework. Martinez says computer science is still taught using the waterfall model, a programming approach that dates to the punch-card era. “A computer science student here spends the first six months doing flow diagrams, because that’s how we did it in the 1970s in El Salvador when we didn’t have any computers to work on,” he says. MOOCs, by contrast, are teaching a new technique known as agile software development in classes like edX’s CS169.1, which focuses on how Web-based programs such as Gmail are created.

The Next Big Thing In Software: Never Me
I was never trying to do the next big thing in software.
In 1999 when I was a founding member of a dot com that did pretty good - $25 million raised round two - it was trying to create a community online.
A little after when I was pitching VCs on my own, what I had in mind is what the Chromebook is today, only the price point is not right yet. But then I was not thinking touch as a possibility at all.
The nuclear winter happened. A few years later when I moved to NYC it was with the Chromebook concept in mind.
I got pulled into doing full time political work on a volunteer basis, in Nepal and in America. They were both historic opportunities. I did raise 100K as was the first goal, but my political enemies in the city made sure the idea got scuttled. They killed it. And the Great Recession happened.
After that I started thinking in terms of microfinance, for profit high tech microfinance. Advising or rooting for or even joining the teams of others don't count. A few dot coms fall in that category.
Today I am squarely in Clean Energy, one of the next big things like nanotech and biotech. I will also do sales, and I hope to pick up microfinance down the line. When it comes to software, I am a great user, I'd like to believe. But I never was a guy trying to do the next big thing in software.
I came to New York wanting to do hardware. I am glad Google picked up the slack. I want Google to also do globally wireless gigabit broadband. That is the only way it can become a trillion dollar company.
As for me, let me worry about hydroelectric dams in Nepal.
