Consumer Crypto

"When a social network is programmable, users can do things like: embed new software into the network (frames, cast actions), build automated accounts that do all sorts of things (bots), build new interfaces (clients), and more." — @six

the unlock isn't 'decentralized social' - it's composable social infra that can't be rugged by centralized platforms

Everyone tries building 'decentralized X'
Smart play is building 'programmable X that can't rug builders
Most users don't care about censorship resistance
Most devs have been API rugged
That's the actual GTM for crypto social

protocol provides trust
builders create growth tools on protocol 
creators get reach
users follow creators

protocol stays invisible

programmable is a given, because we’ve had mature standards for this in web2 for many years. no blockchains needed

decentralization is a nut yet to be cracked and it won’t be until any of our efforts reach considerable scale

due to centralized governance, services end up deciding to be less programmable because it’s the only way they see as growth
