credit card companies have been gate keepers of consumer loyalty, serving as middle-men to status, perks, access. with crypto, loyalty is aligned with consumer identity, & there is a lane to cut out the middle & have that relationship managed merchant to customer direct.

crypto never benefitted from a mass market "portal" to guide usage like internet (AOL), movies (theaters), TV (basic cable), finance (CNBC), etc. It shot right out of the cannon, and immediately became an industry which required a study & seek approach. just an observation.

In crypto, replace "consumer" with "use cases" and suddenly everyone is focused on consumer.

just as data helped you make more money in web2, crypto should do the same for web3. sure, it can replace. but it also should enhance -- whether that be commerce, advertising, subscriptions ... all models.

Internet history tells us that innovation is a result of opening long tail access & experimentation: media, data, social... everything. More volume and participation results in new product ideas to serve masses. Crypto should be looked at similarly, but this time with money.

different take: lots of chatter on crypto creating value but under discussed is the value abundance being accelerated by crypto -- similar to information abundance from the internet. which doesn't mean things become more valuable, but rather less, with increased competition.

Internet is to information abundance as crypto is to value abundance.

music is fascinating because it's very likely you haven't discovered your favorite song yet... & when you do, there's another one waiting for you to find it. infinite quest.

best admin for crypto, but something to consider -- crypto has historically done well when there's an adversary; whether that's FB & data, Gensler, Banks. need friction to cause a spark. don't assume because landscape is better, great products will be made. same work applies.

Institutional capital coming into crypto is way more synonymous with advertising + media than most realize. to scale, you need liquidity outside of what individual humans can provide.
