Farcaster demonstrates hybrid applications can work, but TBD on whether "application-centrism" works 

I.e. no one gives a rat's arse about the infra underneath, you just use and enjoy the app. This one's tougher though as infra tribalism runs very deep, but can be broken by onboarding a non-crypto audience

Isn't this a tyranny of the minority type of situation? A small group of people who really care about the infra happen to be influencers in some communities (Ethereum, open source development, privacy communities, etc.) and that could get the flywheel going for a broader network
