Degen

If we want crypto to go mainstream, we need to admit we’re still building for ourselves. Terms like “bridge,” “lockup,” or “seed phrase” mean nothing to most people—and they shouldn’t have to. Great products hide complexity.

Yes, the privacy-maxis and crypto-native degens are essential—but they’ll always be a niche. To grow, we need simplicity. Friend.tech gave us a glimpse. Farcaster is pushing the space forward. And Degen can be part of that story—but only if we create real value, not just distribute free rewards.

Let’s build products that speak human. Let’s make Degen something people want to use—because it’s easy, valuable, and fun.

We experiment, we evolve, we grow—together. GN.

Your points are spot on! I think right now crypto is mostly focused on security and social prestige, but to really go mainstream, its capital needs to flow into tangible sectors like energy, food, or infrastructure. Unlike oil or electricity, crypto breaks geographical barriers, which is huge, but we need a trusted intermediary to connect investors with projects. Maybe DAOs or smart contracts could fill that gap. Or imagine apps that make it super easy for regular people to invest in green energy or smart agriculture without getting bogged down by jargon.
