one of the most persistent problems in crypto is when a project decides to define new term in attempt to own category and create new verb (ie. google it), instead of opting to choose language people understand.
queue an industry with jargonitis so bad it's a barrier to consumer adoption.
if my normie friends hear 'fungible' or 'fiat' one more time chat, it's literally so over for us.

my fav jargon and translations we could use instead:

tomorrow 2 women in stem (crypto) will wine and dine a restaurant full of web summiters.
this is in fact an elaborate ruse to lure attendees in with italian food then hit them with a relentless number of questions about IP and interop with our tiny mics.
everyone who has seen me wearing my new blazer has reacted in a not so subtle way which means it's high time i commit to wearing clothing other than [insert crypto company name] hoodies
damn i am just out here, face mask on, sipping tea, completely unperturbed by the fact that there are crypto events happening rn that i am not attending. i feel galaxies away. and i feel so free.
to come up with a good idea, i find it largely unhelpful to look at what comparable brands or competitors have done.
all that does is make me rly good at recycling someone else’s marketing, someone else’s good idea.
to get real inspiration, i need ingredients from further afield. i want to understand:
✧ how the bakery near my house makes me feel so at home
✧ how hermès, louis vuitton, burberry, and cartier have remained coveted and sought after status symbols for nearly 200 years
✧ how religious and cult leaders earn the trust and loyalty of their followers
✧ how artists build movements without ever buying a billboard
✧ the subtle physiology of colours and sounds and how subliminal messaging influences me
✧ why receiving a hand written letter in the mail feels so good
crypto / tech twitter can be a detriment for this since it’s incredibly insular.
we are made to feel that we need to replicate the same things other brands in our industry do when, in fact, the thing that gives you an edge is zigging when everyone else zags.
same thing applies on a personal level. i’ve always hit personal milestones when i’ve countertraded the mainstream. when i’ve had many seemingly unrelated interests that somehow supported each other.
be contrarian. it might just save u.
