Why? Why crypto? Why Comma? Because: - World-changing technologies look like toys when they're just starting out. People thought "why does my pizza shop need to put its menu online" in 2000. In 2025, it changed the world. We're in the year 2000 for crypto. - Crypto isn't just interesting, or a good investment. It teaches us about the world. How it actually exists. How it works. It asks whether we actually know how things work in the world around us, and whether they even do work. Crypto teaches us how things could be. This is why crypto matters. Not just because it's interesting. But because once you pay attention, it shows us where we can make the world better. This why we do what we do at Comma. - When most who refer to crypto as the "wild west" do so because of its rapid change, chaos, volatility, change, uncertainty. At Comma, we believe in the cowboys at the frontier not because its wild - but because cowboys ask the questions that other's won't. They're willing to actually take a look at how the world works, and dare to say "we think it could better." Better, but different. They get ridiculed for asking it - and we think they get ridiculed for the wrong reasons. - We believe in the world that the cowboys see and help build. The rapid change, chaos, volatility, change, uncertainty - where most get stuck - aren't even half the story. They're just part of the nature of being human, and building a better world. - Crypto is coordination technology. At its core, crypto is like the most world-changing technologies that came before us that connected the world. The printing press. The car. The limited liability company. The internet. Crypto is the next evolution, where we bring the nexus of coordination from an inefficient, abstract system like the legal entity of the limited liability company down to the human. Enabling us to do what we humans do best - tell stories about what's worth doing, where's worth going, and coordinating resources (human, financial, and technological) to build that world. This requires going to the frontier. This is why we need the cowboys. - Crypto is freedom technology. Crypto creates a more sovereign and dignified world. Sovereignty is freedom. Agency. Ownership. Dignity is inherent worth and value. Both are intrinsic to our humanity - but can be suppressed or amplified. Crypto amplifies these for the human. The human is in charge, not controlled by other systems or entities. Those that create the value, receive the value with crypto. No gatekeepers. - We believe in crypto. But it's also not guaranteed. There's a chance it won't be everything we hoped. But we believe in it enough to work on it. To do our part. Because if we can, it really fucking matters.
