The onboarding flow - takes too long - I tend to want to share a mini app, but it takes them to the home feed instead of the intended destination when they onboard

The #1 question that matters when buying a token: what belief does buying this asset allow me to express about the future?

Saw Materialists this weekend Initially disliked it (it’s NOT a rom com) but I also haven’t stopped thinking about it Feel like every person will have a different reaction to it based on where they are in life, and that actually makes it a way more interesting movie

One trick for finding insights When something strikes you as interesting, innovative, disruptive, or even just memorable, ask “how might this generalize?”

One of the most striking insights from Coinbase's State of Crypto summit today came from @barmstrong's fireside: how is it that Coinbase is such a startup factory? There are more paths to a yes than a no Twice a year, Coinbase holds an internal pitch competition, where anyone can suggest an initiative for Coinbase to pursue. Every internal leader has a budget for these venture-like bets; all it takes is ONE yes to get an initiative greenlit When making venture bets, there are often far more paths to a "no" than a "yes" - it's often easier to imagine how something can go wrong than how it can go really right. Coinbase inverted this model and my guess is that it's a big part of the reason why Coinbase is such an impressive founder factory

This may be the second time I've seriously rooted for Djokovic to win a match

More crypto companies going public would be a huge win because it likely expands the set of large-scale acquirers in the industry

> New form factor for media. The platforms that enable creation are the discovery engines > Interesting, emergent behavior around how users interact (eg how people create, share, and remix the media) > Took what used to be a specialized skillset (coding) and transformed it into something anyone can do (create apps). Saw the same pattern with Instagram (make anyone a photographer) and TikTok (anyone can be a video creator / editor)

Activities that used to require specialized skillsets are becoming accessible to everyone. The companies pioneering this transition are the new apps Probably most observable with coding -- used to be limited to those with the relevant education, now an app in the form of "vibe coding" that anyone can do Interestingly, crypto may have been the first place this phenomenon was observable. Token launches used to be limited to those who could code, Pump made it an app by enabling anyone to launch one with just a few clicks

We're moving from the "everything app" era to the "everything is an app" era
