People are way too glum about lack of crypto adoption. We've actually come a long way in a short time.

Let me share our story.

We're a media company with a simple business model - subscriptions and sponsorships. 

We now run 70% of Bankless onchain and i actually love it. That's up from probably 20% when we started.

THINGS WE DO IN CRYPTO

Ethereum is our primary bank.

Safe is our bank vault - access controls, limits. I can't understate how much safe has improved over the past few years - 10x better than any bank interface.

Etherscan for bank statements - all our balances - all our transactions - I can't understate the value of etherscan - we've been DAUs since forever

Metamask, Rabby, Uniswap wallet as our checkbooks - our finance ppl use these to sign transactions from our vault or make payments

USDC for cash - we pay salaries, bills, and taxes in fiat so keep short-term treasury in stablecoins

great thread, thanks for sharing Ryan. As someone who has been here since the Silk Road I can say 10000% people who have been here short term or even mid term have no idea how fast the industry has grown and the pendulum swung towards adoption from the time of "everyone that uses crypto is a druggy or a criminal." Appreciate your insights.
