it used to be a product that let you learn about crypto in different ways (simple lessons + advanced tasks) and earn crypto in return today, it encompasses the entire suite of "earning" that includes staking APY, etc.

Are there people building any early crypto onboarding and education initiatives, for instance Is there a "Mister Rogers" of web 3? or "sesame street" of web3 I am working on a few cool things but the idea needs a lot of tech and dev help under the hood

Thanks, looking at this from a POV of a normie trying to learn about this space seeing a black cold page full of generic uninviting AI imagery with a company that has SKYNET in the branding straight out of T2 I am thinking what I am trying to build with /nounworks will resonate in a huge way and help onboard the masses

i can see that - i guess it depends on who your normie demographic is i can see some appeal for the 13-18 year old hacker/script-kiddie if this was brought up in the classroom for ex (fyi, i tried it out and i didn't enjoy the format at all, reminds me too much of those mandatory corporate training programs)

there are more people on the planet that need web 3 and have no idea of web3 than there are active users of web3.... If you take the Degen gambling aspect out that ratio changes too. If we want this adoption to work we need to have soem warmth and humanity in our pitch not degens drinking from sneakers at some party
