ready to bet that the best app will be the one that wraps all the best crypto use cases into one experience

we already have the building blocks, which feel so great

what’s missing is the app that distributes them

> dunk on CT
> look for another place to talk crypto
> come back on CT

the cycle we all know

the truth is no one’s managed to export the culture

flawed as it is, there’s still no place like it

> take holidays
> baggage lost
> rains

how lucky

PMF with early adopters + insane UX

then TGE to acquire new users

the perfect flywheel

most people seriously underestimate how hard it is to create content consistently

the best experiment you can run is trying to onboard your mom to crypto

each chain will have its own wallet

for better or worse

(not so) hot take:

understanding the real world is one of the most underrated skills in crypto right now

elon is such a good guy recently

it honestly pisses me off to see the few crypto ads only focused on speculation

like that’s all we have to offer?

there’s so much more things to do but we keep choosing hype over education

integrating crypto into web2 is how we’ll win

we meeting users where they already are, just with better rails

they shouldn’t have to know it’s crypto
they should just feel and understand that there are some benefits

polymarket x twitter is just the first step

some projects act like whatever you do, they did it first

and their little bot army is always ready to jump in your replies to remind you

so cringe

transactions should either be free or paid in stablecoins

real question:

when was the last time you got genuinely excited by a new chain?

(not because of the VCs behind it or the buzzwords, but because it felt different)

the question i love to ask when i get inbound is:

“what makes you different from the 10 other projects doing the same thing?”

you'd be surprised that 99% of them can't even answer

i really want to see more crypto apps with proper mobile apps

that’s how you make crypto feel like part of people’s everyday life

imagine a DeFi super app where, in one place, you can:
- earn better yield than your bank
- get access to tokenized stocks, real estate, whatever
- make payments instantly, globally
- get loans from people, not just banks

all from your phone, in a few taps

in crypto, we assume people have time

but the truth is: they don’t

they’re not going to read a 2,000 blog post, dig through docs or watch a 15 minutes explainer video just to figure out how an app works

if onboarding takes too long, they’ll bounce
if value prop isn’t clear instantly, they’ll move on
if UX feels hard, they’ll never come back

we should learn to respect people's time

is there a reason why it’s so hard for crypto games to get more adoption?

even when we have a few promising ones, it still feels super hard to break out of CT

what a shitshow

your biggest edge is actually to not feel like an AI agent
