The internet doesn't ask for permission. It breaks things, and forces you to obey its pull. Crypto exhibits early signs of both -- brute force & trojan horse-- dynamics. new Darkstar 👇 https://darkstarcrashes.xyz/piracy-is-gravity

The real question isn't whether you should launch a token. It's whether you're ready to serve two masters: your users and your speculators. Most people drastically underestimate this challenge. @darkstar @jess

Crypto has spent years figuring out how tokens relate to infrastructure—but the focus on how tokens connect with consumer products is new. And that shift will push crypto way further into the mainstream than any infra breakthrough ever could.

internet opened floodgates for mass distribution. social networks enabled that for media. crypto enables that for money -- stables, formation, investing, etc.

do you think this is the same pool of founders or a new pool of founders? ie. ephemeral app developers, small/mid-cap business founders, etc.

Believe partner base pulling out product needs that often go unaddressed or ignored in traditional crypto. - how is the token connected to my product? - why should people hold this token (utility)? also solving the big problem in crypto which is that holders of the coin are (more often than not) not users of the product. which exists in traditional markets -- there are FB users and there are people who buy FB stock. however, crypto's opportunity is to tie it closer. https://x.com/pasternak/status/1924865227843137924

in crypto, we're conditioned that trading & holding should be large amounts, often leveraged, to (try to!) obtain large outcomes. but the "feeling" to evoke & capture may exist in smaller quantities. like turning $1 into $5. or just being tipped. removing the mindset that crypto is purely high risk, high reward removes blinders as to what can be built and what people would enjoy. & if the business is the "feeling", evoking is the first step towards realizing the value that can be built on top -- an easier starting point & potentially larger market.
