VC-Funded Goblins Pitch protocol
An internal goblin slide deck on protocol leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'
protocol is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.
