What are you selling onchain this week?
Being “early” is especially hard because in order to stick around long enough for a market to appear you need to:
- Be right about your long-term vision (hard)
- Correctly adjust your trajectory based on the scarce, often wrong, and mostly brutal feedback (very hard)
- Have unreal conviction, enough to keep going for years when dismissed and called crazy (extremely hard)
Been there for +3 years at @slice, long before onchain commerce was on anyone’s radar. I've learned so much that I could write a book on the topic.
On the other hand being “late” is more PVP. It's much less uncertain as you have a market, data for your assumptions, and are only limited by capital and execution efficiency. Apple has historically been the best at dominating markets while being late, though it's nuanced.

store owners, what are the main reasons why you need to offramp?
classic example of bad channel management, further amplified by the gated nature of channels. net negative for farcaster when it happens to a large one.
@dwr.eth I have my doubts on announcements, never been happy receiving one and often felt pissed due to mods misusing them. what problem were they supposed to solve? I don’t see any upside in the long term https://warpcast.com/gt/0xf39d9cd9 https://warpcast.com/elie/0x900ba994

update: they’re still debating whether tesla robots were controlled. mkbhd’s post confirms their strategy is working great so far.
now the question is, will there be a backlash? I don’t think so, because their progress was technically impressive https://x.com/mkbhd/status/1844911588022829438

2025 will be the year of onchain consumer apps. what are you building?
Tesla just pulled off a classic startup move.
At their event yesterday, the Optimus robot wasn't ready for a demo. So what did they do?
Something unusual for a company of this size: they did things that don't scale. The robots were controlled remotely, with operators acting like AI.
This way:
1. They delivered for the event, even without the actual product
2. By neither confirming nor denying, they sparked speculation, driving social media buzz
3. Most importantly, they let users experience the ideal ux — actually better than the eventual final product — fueling hype and preorders
Elon showed once again that companies can be run like startups at any scale, and that founders should never stop thinking outside the box.

the solution? a future where you don’t need to offramp
that’s why onchain commerce is so important https://x.com/asvanevik/status/1844595051252601232?s=46&t=Xycl0VRHjoxf04tpQIdxLg
