ted (not lasso)

apparently there’s a dating app launching today that leverages crypto as a form of micropayment. man stakes small amount of USDC to indicate serious interest in the woman (and vice versa) to show more intentionality, since current apps guy is incentivized to swipe right constantly. uniquely enabled by crypto because micropayments don’t make sense with credit cards, which is how current apps operate. @qw shared this example, and says his framework for investing is always “is there a new consumer behavior unlocked uniquely by crypto?” and assess the size of the market (and the size of the dating market speaks for itself).

dad, how did you meet mom? well son, I saw your mom's face pop up on my phone so I decided to take my btc on Coinbase and convert it to cbBTC and use that as collateral to borrow 69 USDC and stake it on a new dating app to show that I was genuinely interested. once she saw I owned a cryptopunk, the rest is history

It would be better if the stakes were slightly larger and could immediately get allocated to a “date fund”. Once the woman accepts the date, the stakes can’t be reimbursed Pros: - only people who put effort into profile/photos/prompts etc. will be noticed and invested in - or their date offers will be accepted - URL>irl asap - skip the pen pal stage - If anyone gets stood up, at least they can keep the money (there can be a fail safe for men getting stood up too) There was a similar concept before (skip the chit chat and actually go on a date) but the stakes were never high enough (both literally and figuratively)

interesting. curious if the staking benefits the person of interest, since that would incentivize catfishing

It's a great example of using crypto for micropayments, but when it comes to dating apps, I'm not sure it will solve current problems like fake profiles, women feeling unsafe about first dates, or how matching algorithms work
