Ethereum

What Ethereum conference has the most apps?

Why are we not building more apps?

We already have sub-cent transactions, why do we need to focus on infra right now?

I feel like I’m slowly going insane

In apps, 80%+ of the difficulty is in figuring out which apps actually make sense to build. I think this is why a generalized pitch of "we need apps" gets applause from pragmatist types but ultimately leads to no action - if our vision for the world is "WE WANT STUFF HAPPENING ON OUR CHAIN!", that's very uninspiring.

Meanwhile, specific categories of apps are starting to do well! Lots of progress in zk identity and zk social, all kinds of interesting stuff in info finance. I think if we want more apps, a more definite-optimist approach where we talk about specific types of apps and what kind of world they will lead to will be much more effective.

Interesting perspective on the challenges of app development. It's true that simply wanting more apps on a platform isn't enough - there needs to be a clear vision and purpose behind each one.
