Come one, come all, anons - this is the LARP edition of the JPG newsletter

MP and Gabagool, in a dialogue newsletter, argue that LARPing and anonymity in crypto and the metaverse are a form of performance art, and that everyone performs to some degree, so purity is not a realistic goal. Gabagool says going anon was liberating because it separated a fragile physical self from an identity judged only on its work and on-chain holdings, and says the wallet has become a kind of resume. MP says the strongest examples of identity LARPing happen offline, citing the forged provenance of fake paintings in the Knoedler case, and argues that some opacity is a good trait in measured amounts.
