Abstract Chain’s Future Questioned + Gambling Apps vs. Consumer Apps

The episode opens with reflections on 9/11 and the importance of disagreeing without being disagreeable before diving into Abstract Chain’s ongoing struggle to define its purpose.

The conversation contrasted short-term farming loops with real builders like Polymarket and Billions.
