Re-listening to @dwr.eth and @fredwilson.eth chat, and had a realization — web to mobile was a straightforward platform shift (relatively speaking), yet Tumblr and other web players couldn’t adapt Crypto is a much more Byzantine platform shift, yet many assume incumbents will learn how to add wallets and chains — unlikely! https://youtu.be/Kqf_9NxhMfI?feature=shared

playing the other side: is it similar to platform shifts (web to mobile) tho? or more like swapping paypal vs stripe vs some legacy credit card provider for your website/app

Good counterpoint, but I think you could reason about mobile that way (and arguably, companies did... and failed) Ie. "is it a real platform shift, or is it just changing the size of the screen?" Narrator: it was a real platform shift

so is it a platform shift AND 'we must abstract crypto away', 'user mustn't know it's crypto' or those both can't be true? @androidsixteen.eth @deodad
