🏗️ What Should Be Built On-Chain? 💰 Anything economic—where trustless settlement & decentralization matter 📡 Prefers self-contained mechanisms that don’t rely on Oracles 🔗 Ethereum’s role is still about being a decentralized, trustless settlement layer!!!

💡 Product Ideation & Validation 📊 Thinks in economic mechanisms first, then writes contracts to test feasibility 🔄 Iterative design—realizes new constraints while implementing 🚀 Early user commitment is key (e.g., ETH Strategy pre-commitments before building)
