crypto

I looked through the main newspapers, nobody was talking about Bitcoin (rather politics) except Sueddeutsche Zeitung behind a paywall and it said: “IMAGINE ITS BITCOIN ATH AND NOBODY NOTICES” and can’t agree more 🤓

I overheard some people talking about buying the btc dip recently, prob many heard fintech podcasts talk about stablecoins but I don’t sense a big interest. And I don’t see a big interest from crypto people about onboarding their friends or sharing crypto opportunities with friends - rather extracting anonymously from the people that are already here. (But maybe that’s just my perception and there’s very diff bubbles elsewhere)

Everyone in crypto is so focused on optimizing for attention in the currently small playgrounds (crypto twitter, farcaster, kaito, cookie, crypto VCs) that they miss getting any attention from the mass market, millions of other people.

In 2017 and 2020 there was 100s of teams with projects or at least whitepapers who targeted 10000s of community contributors who targeted millions of new crypto investors.

Exception: a few CEXs and memecoin influencers - but no legit onchain builders.

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network 🌶️ spicy strategist

Solve a problem for users & Target these users (not the speculators on twitter).

Problem is payout: you’ll get much less money (in the short-term) from solving an issue, finding real customers, making revenues than the random speculators.

🤔

so what would you do differently? 

to be fair very little tangible value has been created by everything from the last cycle anyways. those narratives were way overhyped.
