Timeline

Decades of building — from IT in 1996 to a culture economy on Base.

  1. 1996

    IT from day one

    Started in information technology when the web was still wiring itself together — curiosity before crypto, craft before hype.

  2. 2000s

    Web2 builder years

    Agencies, SEO, creative direction, decentralized experiments — learning how products feel when real people use them.

  3. 2020s

    Onchain shift

    Wallet-native identity, fair drops, and proof-first culture — less pitch deck, more receipts.

  4. Today

    Building Culture

    A culture economy on Base: identity, places, art, BCC utility, and communities that fund themselves with transparency.

The 4th Time I Got Played — And Why This One Hit Different

Trust breaks in public long before contracts fail. That is why Building Culture defaults to verifiable drops, open ledgers, and saying no to vibes-only fundraising.
