On Chain Publishing
Paragraph
I knew about the crypto publishing platform Paragraph. I haven’t done anything there, but I decided this week to mess around with it to see if I could learn anything.
Don’t worry, I am still going to actively blog here. The largest reason is that Substack has better distribution, and it is super easy to comment here. Creating a great comment community is essential for a good blog, and you cannot do it on Paragraph unless you purchase and spend tokens. Here is a blogpost about the platform.
This morning, I wrote this post at Paragraph.
It will be a bit of a pain in the tail, but read the post at Paragraph and leave comments below as to what you think, your opinion, or what you see.
One thing I do want to highlight, as artificial intelligence gets better and better, good original human writing that has a lot of ingenuity and insight will be harder to find.
There is an entire industry, non-government and pure capitalistic enterprises, that will see their current business models upended. Read my piece and make a prediction in the comments. Maybe we should put markets up on Polymarket or Kalshi!


Subscription based journalism goes away. I love articles by Matt Taibbi etc. But, I don't want to pay them $80 for a subscription. There are too many good writers that I want to read. Newspapers are the wrong idea, because it is centrally consolidated. Paragraph might be the right idea, because I can pay per article.
I think that Think Tanks will become a thing of the past for the most part.
