About this Episode

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Boxer from Dune Analytics

Boxer highlighted his passion for technology and the benefits of a no-trust environment, while critiquing the manipulative nature of algorithms and emphasizing the importance of stepping away from screens.

Dune Analytics allows users to access and visualize blockchain data with custom queries and dashboards. It fosters transparency and innovation in the crypto space through real-time data and community support.

We spoke to Boxer about Dune Analytics and:
  • I'm in it for the tech
  • There’re benefits of a no trust environment
  • Not level one, but level eight
  • When you have reputation to lose
  • Code is like spaghetti
  • There's no big tech scene in Germany
  • One query to rule them all
  • The Wild West
  • The algorithm just wants to fuck with you and keep your attention
  • Go and touch some grass
  • Anti-authority and that’s why I like crypto
  • Information diet
  • Dopamine systems too weak to stop shits into your brain
  • Start from first principles
  • Sound sources
  • Researchers in Vietnam or in Indonesia
  • Click farms
  • Smoke and mirrors
  • Not so attentive governments
