Inspired by the Tao, what is, what isn’t, what could be, what has been.
On Solana
Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

Community
I’m building this community around an old text, with an old token. Fundamentals of community, sharing, and tranquility provide refuge in a turbulent space. Here, we focus on low risk, freeloading, or passive strategies that build a foundation, while honing our skills and expanding our knowledge collaboratively. You are welcome here.
“Under Heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
Therefore having and not having arise together.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast with each other;
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.
Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not possessing,
Working, yet not taking credit,
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts for ever.”
Philosophy
If you’re not sure why, you will struggle with how, and decisions about what become elusive. Although tolerant of many views, I’m choosing to build this token, and it’s community around the philosophies of the Tao Te Ching, Zen concepts, and tribal positivism. One might wonder how such concepts tie to finance, crypto, and gains, but there is a place for all things, and the timeplace we exist in, has given these things value, and therefore they have it. We speak about financial flows, in language that ties us to the interconnection of all things.
“Not exalting the gifted prevents quarrelling.
Not collecting treasure prevents stealing.
Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.
The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies,
by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
If people lack knowledge and desire,
then intellectuals will not try to interfere.
If nothing is done, then all will be well”
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
