founder @seismic // product-focused cryptography // rookie years @ stanford, google

Biggest takeaway from yesterday’s @SeismicSys AMA= The real obstacle ahead isn’t building  it is the market risk.
Here is what I mean🤞🏻

When @SeismicSys first started the big question was
"Can we even build base layer encrypted infrastructure"?
That is execution risk If you fail at that, nothing else matters.

fast forward to today=
Seismic has crushed the hard parts
devnet is live, testnet is coming soon
shielded computation,shielded storage its all happening
now the challenge has changed, it is about adoption.

this is called market risk, the scary part?
even if you build something powerful
there’s no guarantee people will use it
you have to win hearts, minds and ecosystems.

So why do I think @SeismicSys will win?
because crypto desperately needs encrypted blockchains
without privacy, there is no serious gaming, no serious DeFi, no serious anything
forced transparency holds us all back!!!!!!
It is just a matter of time
