Hey @blairforce.eth, thanks for introducing yourself and sharing your thoughts. You’re welcome to join Optimism Fractal weekly events, which provide a great place to learn about tech, have conversations with all kinds of optimists, and try out our protocols with fun onchain games. I think it can provide exactly what you’re seeking.
