Fellow Cryptopians

Fellow Cryptopians,

Now that you have returned from your July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all of the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to decentralizing late night.

I have had extensive conversations with leading crypto KOLs, newly minted .ETH’s, rank and file anons, and most importantly people who still collect NFTs over the past 60 days or so. I have heard the concerns that people have - their fear of missing out on The Bear Season 3 or whatever the hell is streaming this week. I am not blind to the fact that Netflix-and-chill has been getting people laid for years. Believe me, I know better than anyone - except my co-hosts Sky Bravo and Lindao - the responsibility and the burden of decentralizing the mic. We carried the mic in Season0x when the fate of our crypto bull market was at stake. I also know these concerns come from a place of real respect for Fullcirclefm.eth’s short lifetime of public blockchain service and our record as Co-Hosts, and we have been moved by the expressions of affection for our Seaons0x Zora collection on Base. I've been grateful for the rock-solid, steadfast support from our fans on Unlonely and all across the blockchains and taken great strength from the resolve and determination I've seen from the thousands of live viewers on X and grassroots Telegram chat supporters even in the hardest of $COOKIE episodes.

I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn't be decentralizing late night if I did not absolutely believe Full Circle was the best community to entertain the fuck out of you every Wednesday at 10PM Eastern this Fall 2024*.

We had an open minting process for Season0x (closing July 12th at midnight) and 436 collectors have spoken clearly and decisively. With special guests Louie C. Rhymes, Paper Buddha, Cyber Shakti, Winny.eth, Rizzle, the most crypto couple ever - KarmaVioletta, LATASHA, Trislit, Mia Lailani, Devan Ibiza, MightyMaximino, Rhyme Taylor, our first remote correspondent - Chelsea.lens, and so many more anons and e-girls, we’ve spoken to the best, covered your events, heard from Satoshi Nakomoto Femme about k-holes, cruised your apps with Testnet Baddie, and produced more weird ass AI short films than ever saw the light of day. We have more than a Lord of the Ring’s worth of footage from just four co-hosts (including SkyGPT). With the cast growing next season, we are the presumptive top bitches of the budding Onchain Entertainment Network by a wide margin.

As Shakespepe once said, “To corn or not to corn, that is the question” and I have no clue what it means but I know it’s something poetic and this letter is getting long af so I’m gonna wrap it up soon.

This process was open to anyone who wanted to run their show onchain and frankly Brian’s Love on Leverage gave us a run for our money. Who doesn’t like gambling on online dating? But the apes have aped. They have chosen Lindao, Sky Bravo, and me - Lawson.fm - as their co-hosts of this late night party.

Do we now just say this process didn't matter? That the token holders don't have a say?

I decline to do that. I feel a deep obligation to the faith and the trust the participants in this Network State have placed in us to run this show so late. It was their decision to make. Not the press, not the ‘pundits, not the big donors, not any selected group of individuals, no matter how well intentioned. The onchain viewers - and the viewers alone - decide the co-hosts of this Onchain Entertainment Network. How can we stand for decentralization in our networks if we ignore it in our own party? I cannot do that. I will not do that.

Blah, blah, blah. Sam Bank Friedman paid to get a seat in front of Congress and so does almost every crypto conference speaker, too. Most crypto twitter accounts are paid to shill. Crypto influencers pledging their support to politicians have set the movement back years. Podcasts make my ears bleed. Be careful what you digest. Watch something fun instead.

Sincerely,

Lawson R. Bae (aka Lawson.fm)
Co-Host of Full Circle, Decentralized Late Night
