Interesting read. Do we think Kickstarter still has a chance to integrate with blockchain technology, or have they truly been left in the dust culturally?

My big takeaway from this is that incumbent brands have too much to lose by trying to adopt crypto (lots of existing users complaining / churning)

Means more opportunity for new cos that can cater more throughly to crypto natives without having the baggage of convincing an existing customer base (mostly web2)

This makes sense. I can't recall any successful pivots from Web2 to Web3. I used to think PayPal had a good chance but hasn’t looked promising to me.
