Brief Note Regarding cafebedouin.org in 2024
I got involved with the Ergo cryptocurrency back in 2021. There was a lot to learn. Initially, I used Reddit. A few months in, I had a question that I needed to use Telegram to resolve. In cryptocurrencies, most of the discussion happens in Telegram and/or Discord. I became active on Telegram. I spent a … Continue reading Brief Note Regarding cafebedouin.org in 2024
Some Reflections on Twitter & WordPress: 2022
You may have noticed that I have been posting to cafebedouin less lately. It is partially because I have been more involved in using Twitter. Why?

Messengers
It seems to me that some messaging app that has the functionality of WeChat is where a lot of this web3 and cryptocurrency is going. The functionality of WeChat is described by Wikipedia as: messaging, public accounts (for famous people or people with an audience), channels for friend groups, digital payments, video, etc. Right now, … Continue reading Messengers
PoE: Proof of Effort
https://twitter.com/NautilusWallet/status/1555606379599052801 I really liked this idea of Proof of Effort, a riff off Proof of Work and Proof of Stake consensus mechanism in cryptocurrencies.

Obscure Books
The Social Obscene
"In certain young people today...I notice what I find increasingly troubling: a cold-blooded grasping, a hunger to take and take and take, but never give; a massive sense of entitlement; an inability to show gratitude; an ease with dishonesty and pretension and selfishness that is couched in the language of self-care; an expectation always to … Continue reading The Social Obscene
No. 1 Rule: Keep Your Shit to Yourself
"A day before I sent Malcolm the email saying I wanted to break up, I came across a term online: solo polyamory. It described a person who is romantically involved with many people but is not seeking a committed relationship with anyone. What makes this different from casual dating is that they’re not looking for … Continue reading No. 1 Rule: Keep Your Shit to Yourself
