Posit: Growing DAU is the hardest problem in crypto. That's why most founders / companies aren't focused on it. Someone else's problem to solve.

Literally opening up the app to type "The biggest barrier to mainstream adoption is the absolute death dearth of fun things to do daily onchain." Everyone wants to sell picks and shovels, when no one wants to dig, you have to question whether there's actual gold in the the hills.

shouldn't that be... the most important problem to be focused on? if new users aren't using a founder's product and the founder isn't focused on it as a problem... 🤔. if this is true, then posit: this is why crypto has failed (and will continue to fail) to go mainstream faster than its emerging tech counterparts.

IMO one early promise of crypto was using token incentives to bootstrap utility/app usage, but this can result in companies further along with less product discipline and less of a handle on how to generate organic DAU growth

splitting DAU into supporters, speculators, benevolent bots, and sybils is part of the issue imho. many web2 platforms monetize ostensibly for the ideal but grow another one further.

When you put it in those terms, it likely won't happen. It's like saying "growing revenue is the hardest problem in startups." Focusing on the money is not focusing on creating value. That said, I'd argue crypto has an incredibly STRONG ability to build community (DAUs).

True, at the same time DAUs is not the best metric for all projects :)

I call it "Kicking PMF up the stack" If we just build this one more piece, someone else will build the app that has meaningful DAU's

Conclusion I came to post Casama: hardest part was bootstrapping quality liquidity in the marketplace. Still believe it to be true for anyone trying to build a stable be marketplace

When you take what @dwr.eth has been saying around qDAU & FC goals/aims (as per say the last Aburra talk), & the reality that FC is permissionless, open, & credibly neutral... ...the "grow qDAU so the devs will come" when successful is both THE biggest gift in the world, & will impact enormously any and all economies.

there are more people that are non-tech that use apps than there are tech people. UX creates culture/habbits of use, attention follows entretainment. good apps have all the features great apps function for something specific that provides enough value to generate entertainment which is followed by attention then habit

DAUs is a bad metric as it doesn’t take into account visitors vs connectors vs transactors. Also users vs wallets is a key distinction one needs to make.
