We need a movement for offline spaces, just like walkable cities.

Faraday cage environments where phones and laptops simply don’t work. 

Libraries with pencil and paper and no distractions.

Laptops without WiFi chips, so you can type offline and then sync back manually via USB or Ethernet when you want.

Restaurants with phone lockers at the front, where everyone must check in devices beforehand.

What else?

pretty much where my head has been lately

my phone makes me feel gross

i got a light phone i am waiting on and want to open a vinyl record bar in bk where people can’t use their devices 

maybe this is an analog midlife crisis

warning: long read, personal POV

i worked for years with brands, celebs, banks, investors, and foundations. i know how powerful brand marketing is in building trust and community.

and as someone whose family, friends, and daily life don’t touch crypto (despite my best effort), i’m painfully aware of how bad crypto’s brand is.

if you’re thinking “only XYZ is cringe,” hate to break it to you: to most people, there’s no difference between ethereum, solana or base. to them, it’s all just crypto.

no amount of “man on the street” tiktoks, memecoins, or cypherpunk storytelling is going to fix that.

i’ve been in crypto since 2018, and the most consistent thing i’ve seen convert skeptics into believers is simple: trusted humans.

people change their minds when someone they trust shows them something they care about.

maybe i’m wrong, but i still think the best way forward is what’s worked for every other network: good humans onboarding other good humans.

it’s slow until it’s not.

i am reminded that when shipping a new product you simultaneously feel a sense of overwhelming excitement by the thing working and a realization that this is actually the worst version of it that it will ever be
