Ep39 The Big WAGMI
from NET Society · host NET Society
Derek is out this week, but Aaron, Chris, and Pri dive into a wide-ranging conversation that starts with GM energy and WAGMI nostalgia before moving into market momentum, off-chain activity, and the forces driving renewed optimism in digital assets. They debate Coinbase’s cultural identity and the broader phenomenon of corporations acting like modern religions through brand world-building, then pivot to the challenges of tokenized media, the state of consumer crypto, and the tension between speculation and real innovation. The discussion zooms out to examine neoliberalism, network states, and shifting global dynamics, before closing with thoughts on AI’s inward turn, the evolution of curation, and how information platforms might transform the way we engage with content.Mentioned in the episodeGet your BASE juice https://x.com/base/status/1945883117698593093Chris loves Ryan Reynolds https://x.com/Mintmobile/status/1932879714479206600Backyard missiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWlOZa3YfycDeepnewz https://deepnewz.com/Show & HostsNet Society: https://x.com/net__societyAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01Chris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0xDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedwsPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesaiProduction & MarketingEditor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra(00:00) - GM Energy and WAGMI Nostalgia (02:20) - Market Momentum and Off-Chain Activity (06:07) - Coinbase, Culture, and Corporate Identity (20:27) - Corporations as Religion and Brand World-Building (30:04) - Tokenized Media, Consumer Crypto, and Speculation (40:09) - Neoliberalism, Network States, and Global Shifts (56:59) - AI, Curation, and the Future of Information Platforms (01:09:15) - Welcome & Disclaimer
