Question for the FC intelligensia: Why don't we have more apps launching onchain?

We need more apps.

It's insanity that after 10 years we've still barely seen any crypto / blockchain apps go mainstream, yet companies are still rebuilding the same programming environments over and over expecting a different result.

Now we have close to 1,000 L1s and L2s,

there's an overlap between social media's story and how crypto succeeds

when the Internet came out, no one predicted "a 140-character microblogging site will change the way everyone consumes news"

stop thinking about boring stuff like crypto as payment rails

start thinking about "what net-new human behavior does decentralized money unlock"

people are being lazy and going after the low hanging fruit of strapping crypto to existing products and thinking that makes those products better

"let's make web3 instagram/airbnb/uber/reddit"

vs thinking about what products you can build that are completely impossible WITHOUT decentralized money

How do crypto apps need to be better?
