thought it was interesting to compare the toolbar against twitter’s now that the wallet is rolling out think this highlights a core moat of an open social network- purer competition of builders/ideas (been thinking about this a lot lately) ai vs wallet twitter uses ai as a product, but on an open social network it’s always present in the feed anyway. commodified and competing against all the others will drive even better models in the open space. wallet on the other hand makes sense to be tied to the client (or handed off to a bespoke wallet) and separated from the feed directly video vs apps video just seems like a tik tok compete, and not fully fleshed out (could be wrong, don’t use it a lot). whereas apps promote _anything_ being built, not just consumed. we’re so so early in this, but I’ll always remember fb/twitter cutting off 3rd party apps right when they were starting to mature. no/minimal risk of this with an open network which will drive faster experimentation and solidify in new areas

we saw something similar to this “moat” when Apple launched the iPhone before it was nearly impossible to build apps for mobile devices- had to work with diff telcos, get price agreements, specific platform languages, etc it sucked then Apple (after a year) was like pay us $100 and build whatever you want, basically full access to the system and we immediately saw some truly wild explorations which drove smartphones into a totally new direction just because the playing field was open for better competition and exploration
