+
+Abstract
+
+   Money over everything
+
+Body
+
+   I posted this to Farcaster yesterday[1]:
+
+   I've unfollowed a handful of people, muted a few, and left a bunch of
+   channels (I should've did the channel thing a while ago).
+
+   The great thing about crypto is that you're surrounded by a
+   community of dreamers, builders, and creators building a brighter
+   future because we've all identified what's not working in society.
+
+   So, to suddenly understand that a large swath of your peers gleefully
+   celebrate an inept moron because he'll make the crypto casinos print
+   money to the moon at the expense of us all is…baffling.
+
+   Like…the same people who understand how to write smart contracts and
+   use custodial wallets are the same ones who accept that the same
+   people they mint from, laugh with, and build with will literally lose
+   their rights, lives, and/or families due to the incoming
+   administration…and they're fine with that.
+
+   Where's the humanity?
+
+   "Hahaha, money go brrr" over everything? Seriously? SERIOUSLY.
+
+   I've been black my whole life so I'm used to people smiling in my
+   face and cursing my existence in the same breath. *yawn*
+
+   I let my guard down and assumed because I was in a smart space with
+   bright people working towards a brighter future for us all that we'd
+   ALL be on the same page. Idk wtf y'all think anymore and nor do I
+   care at this point.
+
+   Farcaster is a neat experiment that had potential to work. Now I see
+   it will never work. You cannot be a network for everybody when you
+   don't give a shit about every body. Glazing and posturing for Daddy
+   Elon when he don't even respect his own kids is sick work.
+
+   My good friend Brad Barrish shared an excellent blog post from Ken
+   White[2] in response. As one commenter put it, it's the best
+   post‑mortem of the election that I've seen yet. Honestly, it's a
+   must‑read. Check it out, you'll thank me later.
