Ethereum

one reason that crypto never hit mainstream is the lack of product thinking

the focus is on infra / tokenomics / protocols

the narrative is completely detached from making great products

some examples of good product thinking

@uniswap @fileverse farcaster blur

controversial but polymarket is a terrible product: clunky, unintuitive, hard to use

it got adoption because it allows ppl to speculate

Don't you kind of need good infrastructure to build a good product?

it’s also because we had far lesser product owners move from web2 to web3

most are crypto first devs, coming from the hard-core dev and far lesser from a place with completed consumer loop

I tend to take a deterministic that it was always going to be this way. 

The mistake was not in the focus on infra, but in thinking that we were closer than we were on apps and adoption.

That's so true, farcaster is like the first even useable eth product.  And we can debate even that

that's mostly true, a lot of people in this space are focused on aspects, that are not understood by people outside of the crypto bubble
