In crypto, replace "consumer" with "use cases" and suddenly everyone is focused on consumer.
just as data helped you make more money in web2, crypto should do the same for web3. sure, it can replace. but it also should enhance -- whether that be commerce, advertising, subscriptions ... all models.
Internet history tells us that innovation is a result of opening long tail access & experimentation: media, data, social... everything. More volume and participation results in new product ideas to serve masses.
Crypto should be looked at similarly, but this time with money.

different take: lots of chatter on crypto creating value but under discussed is the value abundance being accelerated by crypto -- similar to information abundance from the internet.
which doesn't mean things become more valuable, but rather less, with increased competition.

Internet is to information abundance as crypto is to value abundance.
music is fascinating because it's very likely you haven't discovered your favorite song yet... & when you do, there's another one waiting for you to find it.
infinite quest.

best admin for crypto, but something to consider -- crypto has historically done well when there's an adversary; whether that's FB & data, Gensler, Banks.
need friction to cause a spark. don't assume because landscape is better, great products will be made. same work applies.

Institutional capital coming into crypto is way more synonymous with advertising + media than most realize. to scale, you need liquidity outside of what individual humans can provide.
wake up. drink coffee. ponder. turn on the Silver Jews. guided.
5am rise & grind. Kill the day.
crypto gives access to everyone to experiment with money the same way the internet gave access to everyone to experiment with information.
the holy ghost.
phish had been back for over a year. debate as to whether they were ever going to be what they were. then they played this at the Mecca. History.

phrased differently: I think many in crypto thought colliding an existing market with crypto would bootstrap the network quickly. when really, there is more friction than anticipated and a realization that work needs to be done to prove this new market out.

think what most miss with crypto collisions is that two markets coming together (ex. AI + Crypto, Energy + Crypto) doesn't equate to a TAM of both markets. it's actually the opposite. collisions result in a new market, which requires a 0-1 to drive interest & prove value.
Internet drove abundance. crypto derives its value.
surprise me.
Where do you go when the lights go out?
a crypto product's financial experience is synonymous to a web product's user experience.
durability in crypto: forming habits > social copying
New Darkstar Jam:
crypto should focus less on broader market trends & more towards establishing vectors. the goal here is to build habits that transcend, and eventually drive market rhythms. That's scale 👇

think many people will feel they can be more honest with AI than they can 1:1 with humans or through social networks. which is big. the ability to ask anything, not sound dumb, not feel judged -- in order to better educate yourself on topics. big.
Focus on the past and that's what will last
Nothing that is real and nothing you can feel
Focus on tomorrow you'll have to borrow
Images and mind and thoughts you've left behind
Focus on today and you'll find a way
Happiness is how
Rooted in the now.
