i occasionally wonder if achieving “mass adoption” 

means everyone joins us and our culture 

or if it means that everyone uses our tools to create their own cultures 

increasingly leaning towards the latter

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

Definitely the latter!  Everyone wants to be a part of a community, and it's much more reasonable for all of us to find our niche groups around shared interests and experiences.  Our tools can and should (and will) make that easier
