The biggest opportunity in crypto over the next 12 months: convert the remaining ~600 million crypto owners and passive investors to active crypto users. If we get to only activate 50% of everyone who ever bought $btc $eth or $sol that will 10X transactions, volumes, and revenues. A much needed boost the app layer! Discovery friendly wallets and web3 social apps are the most positioned to do this. 

Build thoughtful and hyper personalized notifications, email companions, discovery and exploration feeds focused on mainstream users to show them the best of what builders have been up to this cycle: social media content, frames, mini apps, memes, articles, podcasts, music, tickets and much more is already onchain!!!

Help the late comers engage with  @farcaster @zora @pods @paragraph @audius content and so many others! Never been a better time to start a consumer crypto app!

looking at different web3 social apps right now its easy to understand that most usage is still driven by speculation/expected financial upside 

some apps that build truly novel experiences get little traction because they propose little price action

but whenever we're past this phase, chances are that the trend will be reversed. at that point there'll be no difference between 'web3 social' and all other social apps. and providing superior content and novel experiences will be the only way

because i dont think i value money when it comes to close friendship, the same way i don’t value how many likes they get. 

now like everyone i do appreciate someone’s status in society based on likes and wealth. but it’s another kind of use case. it’s like the social media vs social network divide. in social media you consume information about other ppl, in social networking you build relationships 

now this makes me think, apps that merge both will probably outcompete apps that don’t. it’s like instagram vs. be real. i think be real’s concept is more noble but it’s just a toy compared to instagram which has significantly changed the way we socialize

if an app can have all the regular social stuff PLUS the financial stuff, why would the one with only regular stuff take over in your view?

Orb.club is one! not saying they've figured it out but they're innovating and not getting their fair share of attention

>some apps that build truly novel experiences get little traction because they propose little price action

any example?

the interesting thing is that farcaster can be both due to the new channel management. I can be a degen shitposter in one channel and systemic architect in a second and sharing vulnerably about my childhood trauma in a third.
