i find @cryptothegame a cool case study on leveraging the culture of crypto more than the tech

it needed very online, reasonably affluent, and interest aligned people to thrive more than it needed decentralized infra for season 1

think this is an under appreciated reason for consumer founders to build here

i've said it before and i'll say it again:

crypto's killer use case is social, not financial.

You and @trustlessstate should have a chat.

Hmm not sure we disagree but i would say composability is the key. That's what makes social with native financial primitives so powerful.

Previously worked on Woosh to onboard more people into crypto.

Okay when will you say it next, and after that will you say it again or will that be the last time?

the thing about the social side that broke on Twitter was the ease of rebooting/hiding/obscuring identity.

the upside of Farcaster and other protocols will be the persistence & transparency of identity.

i'm with you though - social first, financial upsides come behind.

crypto's real killer use case I think will be delineating AI from humans, is that social?

Why? The financial use case is 10x better than the social one.

It’s both imo

The ultimate use case is still payments, but people get way too caught up on the technological side of that — social consensus is still at the root of all of this and so social is always going to come alongside anything financial

modern gaming is also social, so it doesn’t preclude a game being a killer use case. I guess ctg is a case in point!
