One day Apple is going to release a semi-centralized blockchain product, call it Financial Computing or something, and every Apple consumer who lamented about how crypto is dumb for a decade will aggressively ape into it.

One thought, one Q.

Thought: Apple has never been any good at social networking. Remember failed Ping?

Absolutely! The obstacle hindering progress is the emphasis on shareholder value. Blockchain communities offer a unique approach, shifting from a sole focus on shareholders to a broader stakeholder POV. My hope, today, is for stakeholders to transcend short-term gains and recognize the importance of relentless pursuits

Honestly I don't believe in the "X00,000 employee company is bad at X" trope. Maybe it doesn't care about X, maybe it chose to put the wrong leadership to run X, but there's nothing stopping a company of that size from relentlessly pursuing X until it succeeds (maybe a decade later).
